Why Colorado State Will Win

What are the Rams doing so right? They’re doing a great job of working everything inside, but they’re killing it from outside.

Why Maryland Will Win

Colorado State doesn’t have a ton of size to handle what Queen brings. It has a few players it can throw into the mix, but Queen is too good.

Maryland vs Colorado State: Who Will Win?

Colorado State is playing with tremendous confidence. It found a way to fight back and get the win over Memphis, it stayed steady, didn’t panic, and it kept firing. Maryland will have to get ready for a Ram surge in the second half, but it will.

Maryland will do a little of everything right. It won’t turn it over 16 times like Memphis did.
