- For the second straight game, CSU out-rebounded its opponent by 20+ with a margin of 43-21 Sunday.
- Josh Pascarelli continued to be hot behind the arc going 3-for-6 on his way to 15 points in the win adding in four assists.
- Augustinas Kiudulas reached double figures scoring off the bench with 13 points. He did most of his damage at the free throw line going 9-for-11 drawing seven fouls.
- Seven different Rams recorded an assist on Sunday, led by Pascarelli and Jojo McIver's four each.
