My Prediction: First place in the Mountain West Conference is on the line tonight in Albuquerque. Colorado State is coming off a nice win at home against UNLV, while the Lobos are coming off an overtime win at Boise State. The Pit is one of the toughest places in the country to play. The Rams are a very underrated team who have what it takes to make a tournament run. I’ll take the five points in this contest.
Colorado State +5
