2025 Tournament PreviewColorado State is NCAA Tournament-bound after riding a 10-game winning streak to the Mountain West tournament title. A balanced offense both inside and out is led by star fifth-year guard Nique Clifford (19.0 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 4.4 apg), who shoots 39.8 percent from distance. While Clifford shines, the offense is unselfish, assisting 62.8 percent of made baskets, good for eighth in the nation. The Rams also rank 23rd in effective field-goal percentage, with Kyan Evans (10.2 ppg) adding 43.1 percent three-point shooting. Defensively, CSU is top 20 in rebounding rate. While the Rams are top 50 in both offensive and defensive efficiency (per KenPom), the overall body of work is questionable. Each of CSU's three Quad 1 wins came in conference play, with only one non-conference victory against the KenPom top 100. And with two Quad 3 losses, the Rams could have missed the dance had they not captured the automatic bid.
