March Madness is in full effect! The CSU Ram's women's basketball team and the University of Colorado women were both selected to play in the Women's National Invitation Tournament. They will play each other in the 1st round on Wednesday. Meanwhile the CSU Rams men's basketball team will get a sendoff today as they travel to Kentucky for the Big Dance.
Not one, but 2 teams from Colorado are in the Big Dance! The CSU Rams were named to the field of 68 yesterday. The CU Buffs got an automatic bid by winning the Pac-12 Tournament over the weekend. Both teams will begin play in the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament on Thursday. Who else is in the tournament? Here is a bracket for you!
Two local teams advanced last night in their conference tournaments. One did not. The CU Buffs men's basketball team advanced the Pac-12 Championship last night and the UNC Lady Bears advanced to Big Sky Championship. The CSU men were bounced from the Mountain West Tournament last night by top-seeded San Diego State.
The CU Buffs and CSU Rams are both one step closer to the Big Dance. Both men's basketball teams won last night in their conference tournaments. Colorado State will play in the Semi-Final of the Mountain West Tournament tonight the University of Colorado will play in the Semi-Finals of the Pac-12 Tournament tonight!
It's tournament time for college basketball. The Mountain West, Big Sky, and Pac 12 tournaments are all being held this week. The CSU Rams men's team and the CU men are both considered bubble teams for making the Big Dance, so they both need to win at least a game or two or three in their conference tournaments.
The last of 10 public forums to discus a proposed on-campus stadium at Colorado State University are being held tonight and tomorrow night in Fort Collins. Registration is required. Walk-ups will be seated only if space is available.
It's become a very controversial issue in a very short time. Should CSU build a new on campus stadium and if so, where? There are supporters of a new stadium and there supporters of keeping Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium. Colorado State has announced series of 10 public forums to collect input regarding the proposed on-campus stadium. Registration is required!
CSU has started the process of hiring architects and engineers to begin the process for building a new on-campus football stadium. Advertisements indicate Colorado State University plans to hire for a “potential” project and goes on to say it’s for plans to build a 40,000 to 50,000-seat stadium in Fort Collins.
CSU’s Athletic Director, Jack Graham would like to see a $100 million-$200 million stadium built with private funds by the start of the 2014 season, according to the Coloradoan.
There was more than just madness in Northern Colorado last March when the Northern Colorado Bears made it into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history, proving this region does love their college basketball. Unfortunately though, after losing key players and quite a few games so far this season, it doesn't look like UNC will return to the dance. Look just to the north though, and you'll find a Colorado State team that look like they may bring some excitement to the area this year.
CSU wants your opinion on building a new on-campus stadium. The University has put a virtual suggestion box on their website asking for input. New Athletic Director Jack Graham has already said that a new stadium will be built. He would like to see it open by September of 2014.
