Colorado State Rams vs Boise State Broncos Prediction & Picks - NCAA Men

Prediction published on 3/7/25, 9:44 AM  by Bill Christy | Modified on 3/7/25 at 9:45 AM in Basketball Picks

In a battle of 2 of the top teams in the Mountain West conference tonight, the 21-9 Colorado State Rams will take on the 22-8 Boise State Broncos in Boise, Idaho. The Rams took the 1st meeting back in late January at home 75-72. They blew a 9-point halftime lead and trailed by 2 with 1 minute remaining. After a Nique Clifford layup to tie the game, they defended and got the ball back after a Boise missed 3. Jalen Lake drilled the game-winning 3-pointer with 4 seconds left to clinch it for the Rams. The Broncos shot over 51% from the field in the loss but Colorado State’s 45.8% shooting from long range was the difference. The Broncos are currently on a 5-game winning streak and the Rams have a 6-game streak of their own. 1 of those streaks will be extended while the other will be snapped. Currently, Boise State is one of the 12 seeds while Colorado State is one of the next four out. That can all change with the outcome of this game and how they both fair in the MWC tournament. It is likely that only one of these teams will be dancing come the NCAA tournament, and a win tonight will go a long way toward that goal.
