FORT COLLINS, Colo — They left it late but finished the job.
For about 38 minutes it was ugly basketball at Moby Arena from the Colorado State men’s hoops team.
The Rams flirted with an awful home loss to Air Force, but pulled out a wild comeback in the final seconds and dominated overtime for a 78-69 win.
It was far from pretty and there will be plenty of improvement needed moving forward, but CSU couldn’t afford to lose and the Rams didn’t.
That is the most important result.
The overtime was the dominant play CSU was expected to carry. The Rams scored the first five points of the extra period. The defense shut down an Air Force squad that was seemingly wearing down late. The Rams outscored Air Force 14-5 in the extra period.
