Colton Iverson added 15 points and seven rebounds for Colorado State (14-3, 1-1 Mountain West). Pierce Hornung had 12 points and nine rebounds for the Rams, who extended their home winning streak to a school-record 23 games.
Colorado State had a commanding 40-19 rebounding edge. The Rams have outrebounded every opponent this season.
