The Colorado State Rams and the Air Force Falcons meet Saturday in college basketball action from Clune Arena. Colorado State sits at 14-1 on the year. The Rams beat New Mexico in their last game on Wednesday. As for Air Force, they’re coming off a Thursday game versus UNLV. In that one the Falcons won by seven points.

Colorado State kicked off the year with an 11-game win streak that lasted from November 9 to January 4. After their lone loss to San Diego State, the Rams bounced back with wins over Utah State, San Jose State and New Mexico. 

In the New Mexico game, the Rams posted 37 points in the first half and 43 more from there to finish off an 80-74 win. Leading the team scoring was David Roddy with 21 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Isaiah Stevens added 16 points as well. 

Over on the Air Force side, they hit an 8-4 run over their first dozen games. The Falcons lost to South Dakota, Montana, Arkansas State and Tarleton in that time. The next three games were all losses to Colorado State, Nevada and Boise State. 

In the Thursday matchup versus UNLV, Air Force scored 33 points in the first half and 36 more in the second on the way to a 69-62 victory. Ethan Taylor notched a double-double in the winning effort with 16 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. 

The Falcons are 5-0 ATS in their last five at home and 5-0 ATS in their last five overall. Air Force is 5-0 ATS in their last five Saturday games. 

Meanwhile, the Rams are 1-4 ATS in their last five overall and the under is 7-1 in their last eight overall. The under is 4-1 in Colorado State’s last five road games. 

PICK: I’m going to stay with Colorado State. The last time these teams met was back on January 4. That one ended up a 67-59 Rams home win. It was pretty indicative of Air Force’s scoring issues lately; they haven’t been consistent on that side since early December or so. In any case, Colorado State has hit 77 or more points in each of their last three outings since the San Diego State loss. I like the Rams to keep it going and bang out a cover here.
