ANALYSIS:
Per this website's calculations, Colorado State is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. Ranked 174th overall (out of 353) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 12-20. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of 11) in the MWC (average ranking 168.5).

Based on the data, Colorado State will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 106 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #112 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. Colorado State is superb at converting jumpers in between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked 12th nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 41.6% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO. The squad likewise lands in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, making good on about 46.8% of their total attempts vs. AO.

Unfortunately, Colorado State is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 276th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 109 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Colorado State allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked ninth from the bottom in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 88.58 vs. AO. Colorado State also performs really badly when attempting to stop opponents from making mid-range jumpers. The squad is ranked 336th nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 41.5% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor. If Colorado State does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success preventing opponents from getting to the free throw line. The team has a defensive free throw attempt rate of 22.14 vs. AO, which ranks 30th-best in the country.

Colorado State has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked seventh from the bottom overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
