NEWS Solidarity on the Plaza Rams Honors students protest PAGE 4 stun Bu s OPINION Is self-defense a scam? 72-58 in Learn to fi ght, not to defend Volume 126, No. 64 Thursday, December 1, 2016 PAGE 8 Boulder By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz

Sorry Vegas, unless that was a typo, you got this one wrong. The Colorado State Rams (5- BOULDER 1) were listed as 15-point under- dogs entering their rivalry game against the Buš s in Boulder. For a young team not used to playing in a hostile environment, of course there was pressure. The only thing is, the team in green BEATDOWN and gold never seemed to feel it. The underdogs from Fort Collins came to Boulder and sent 11,000 Buš fans home in disbelief with a 72-58 upset victory. “Coach said get our game on their court, and that’s exact- ly what we did,” senior forward Emmanuel Omogbo said. “I know you guys all thought we were going to lose. But guess what, we beat them by 14 and we’re on to the next one.” Though the Rams never trailed in the second half, or even allowed CU to tie the game, they had a little trouble during the fi rst 20 minutes. Cold fi rst half shooting has been a recurring problems for the Rams through seven games this season. It was more of the same tonight, as CSU struggled to fi nd their oš ensive rhythm and trailed the Buš s 19-13 with 8:03 remaining in the half. How- ever, from then on, things began to click. Emmanuel Omogbo celebrates a 72-58 win over rival Colorado. CU was never able to lead the Rams by more than 6 points. see BEATDOWN on page 15 >> PHOTO BY JAVON HARRIS COLLEGIAN Campus comes together to combat food insecurity on Giving Tuesday

They were selected as an at- large team thanks in part to their ranking in the RPI which was 46th and their tough non-con- ference schedule in which they faired quite well against six other tournament teams including a win over the Baylor Bears. The Wildcats are currently ranked 24th in the UVCA coach- es poll and are ranked 19th in RPI. But this will not be the high- est ranked team the Rams have played this year when earlier they took on the Texas Long- horns, currently ranked fi fth in the poll and fourth in RPI. The Wildcats feature a sim- ilar looking team as to what has been seen from the Rams this year. There are only two seniors on Kentucky, but it is a majority of younger players making the di’ erence for them while the Rams are very similar. The Rams lone senior, Cassi- dy Denny, can bring not only her talents at libero to the stage, but also her experience. This will be her fourth and fi nal NCAA tour- nament, and with that experi- ence the other players can learn quite a bit from her. “A lot of the time we get to the tournament and try to do too much,” Denny said. “The year we made it to the sweet 16 we just went out there and had fun and played hard.” That run to the sweet 16 was in 2014 and tied the farthest the Rams have ever made it in the tournament, something Denny and the rest of the team would love to repeat.
