Colorado State vs Boise State Betting Preview

In terms of the NCAA Tournament bubble watch, this is the most important game of the night. As of Friday morning, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has Boise State as the second-to-last team in the field, and Colorado State listed as the fifth team out of the tournament.

Per Bart Torvik’s analytics, Colorado State has performed like a top-40 team in the country since late January.

Since Colorado State head coach Niko Medved arrived in Fort Collins, this Mountain West rivalry is tied at five wins apiece.

The Rams earned a 75-72 home win over the Broncos in late-January, and we believe they will compete again on Friday.

Colorado State has won-and-covered six-straight games. During this six-game winning streak, the Rams’ defense has allowed an average of 59 points per game.

On the offensive side, Colorado State is No. 2 in the Mountain West in efficiency, No. 1 in effective field goal shooting, No. 1 in three-point shooting, No. 2 in two-point shooting, No. 1 in free throw shooting and No. 1 in assist rate.

The Boise fans make ExtraMile Arena a tough place to play, but Colorado State is probably a little more rested heading into this contest.

The Rams have been comfortably at home for the last two weeks, as their lone road game was a bus ride to Colorado Springs. Boise, on the other hand, is coming home following a road back-to-back at Fresno State and Air Force. 

Colorado State vs Boise State Predictions

In Colorado State’s 27-point win over San Jose State on Tuesday, senior guard Jalen Lake was the only Ram to see more than 29 minutes.

Ten Colorado State players saw double-digit minutes in that contest. When these teams met in Fort Collins in January, Colorado State won the three-point battle, the turnover battle and had more offensive rebounds.

The Rams were up by 17 with 13 minutes remaining before the Broncos went on a late run. This is a matchup that Colorado State should feel very comfortable in, and we will gladly grab the points with the Rams

Colorado State vs Boise State Prediction: Colorado State +6.5
