The No. 11 Colorado St. Rams are one and done in March Madness following its 58-41 loss to the No. 6 Murray St. Racers in Thursday's first game of the 2012 NCAA Tournament. The Rams collapsed in the second half, scoring just two points in the first 10:30 of the second half. Turnovers were a huge issue for the Rams then, and they finished with 22 to Murray State's eight.
