The Colorado State Rams (5- BOULDER 1) were listed as 15-point under- dogs entering their rivalry game against the Bu 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 Bu 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.

Emmanuel Omogbo celebrates a 72-58 win over rival Colorado.
