Moby is rocking after a Kyle Jorgensen 3 puts CSU up 78-74 over the #CUBuffs, forcing a Tad Boyle TO with 4:28 to go. Despite 9-20 FG in the half, CSU is 7-11 from deep. CU having hard time moving the ball, just 11 assists in this one.

We have a thriller in FOCO! #CUBuffs lead CSU 72-70, storming back on a 20-5 run, but Carey Booth is headed to the line after the media TO (2H; 7:25) to complete an and-one. CSU just 7-16 FG to CU's 13-18 FG in the second half. CSU with 6 TOVs in the half.

Oh, my! The #CUBuffs are on a 11-0 run, making its last five shots, including three 3s to make it a 62-60 game. CSU has missed its last three FGs and has five TOVS in the half. The PGs finally getting going. CSU 4-10 FG in 2H to CU's 8-11.

Rechsteiner gets the switch and bangs the 3 on Malone. CSU leads 56-47 over #CUBuffs by the half's first media TO (2H; 16:50). CU getting inside but lacks answers on D.

That's the half! Colorado State leads the #CUBuffs 48-41. Lots of offense; CSU is 63% FG to CU's 53%. But CSU. 10-23 from 3pt behind Josh Pacarelli's five 3s. Alon Michaeli with 12 pts, Dak with 10 for CU.

Tad Boyle is not happy after that call on Josiah Sanders, his second foul of the game. Anyway, CSU leads 48-41 as #CUBuffs with 31 seconds left in the half. CU ball.

Moby erupts after that Jorgensen 3-pointer to put CSU up 43-32 over the #CUBuffs (1H; 3:36), the ninth made 3 of the half. Rechsteiner on the dish, his third of the game. CSU playing with tons of confidence on O, but CU grinding it out on O. Just three TOVs, 13-23 FG.

Colorado State calls TO (1H; 5:17) up 38-28 over the #CUBuffs after that Rechsteiner take (he has 8 pts). CSU 56.5% from the field with 8 made 3s, though CU is 60% FG. Tough buckets.

Josh Pascarelli is on FIRE! 4-of-6 from beyond the arc to begin this one, and Colorado State leads the #CUBuffs 31-24 with 7:22 to go. Buffs still 10-18 FG, but Moby is charged as CSU has made 5 of its last 7 FGs.

Moby not happy at block call, which sends Isaiah Johnson to the line after the media TO (1H; 11:09). But CSU leads 20-18. CSU 4-11 from 3, weirdly making the tougher looks. CU 7-12 FG but with three TOVs. 5 pts from Michaeli.

This is a competitive one in Moby! Colorado State leads the #CUBuffs 10-8 at the first media TO (1H; 15:35). Josh Pascarelli with two 3s, Muniz with 4 pts. Rancik and Dak have 4 each. Man, CSU is a lot to handle on defense.
