In a Mountain West matchup between intrastate rivals, the Colorado St. Rams dominated the game for all 40 minutes and earned a convincing 67-49 win over Air Force. With the victory, the Rams moved within a game of second place in the conference.
The Rams had three players score in double-figures, including Pierce Hornung who completely dominated the game with a team-high 23 points and a team-high 17 rebounds. Dorian Green scored 12 points and dished our four assists, while Wes Eikmeier scored 10 points on just 3/15 shooting from the field.
