The Colorado Rams beat the Virginia Cavaliers 67-42 in the First Four of March Madness 2024, marking the first Rams NCAA Tournament win in 11 years.
Joel Scott scored a season-high 23 points and had 11 rebounds as Colorado State won an NCAA Tournament game for the first time in 11 years, blowing out Virginia 67-42 in the First Four on Tuesday night. Nique Clifford added 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Rams , who advance as a No. 10 seed to play seventh-seeded Texas in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday. 'I’ll tell you what, hard to imagine tonight going any better for us,' Colorado State coach Niko Medved said.
The highlight for Virginia was a 4-2 lead at the 15:23 mark of the first half. It was pretty much downhill from there. Colorado State built on its halftime lead with another surge. The Cavaliers got within 15 points with about 10 minutes left, but a 3-pointer by Patrick Cartier on the Rams' next possession helped them pull away again. Isaac McKneely finished 2 of 13 from the field for the Cavaliers, and Jacob Groves was 1 of 8.
Scott, a graduate transfer who played four years at Black Hills State in South Dakota, had his best game at Colorado State. He averaged 12.9 points per game during the season. 'Honestly, I think it was just more enjoying the moment. We’re on a big stage. Very cool experience,' Scott said. 'Not everyone gets to do this. And so it’s more just enjoying the moment, having fun with it.' UP NEXT Colorado State will play Texas at 6:50 p.m. EDT on Thursday.
