CSU Basketball Destroyed by Utah State, 100-58

When Utah State woke up for their game against the CSU Rams Saturday morning, they must have gotten confused, thinking that they were about to play the other Colorado-based MWC team: Air Force. Otherwise, I have no rational explanation for the absolute thrashing that took place at the Spectrum.
