Texas Southern vs. Colorado State
LAS VEGAS (Interstat) — The undefeated Colorado State Rams put their perfect record on the line Friday when they face the Texas Southern Lady Tigers in a non-conference women’s basketball game at Michelob Ultra Arena.
Colorado State (6-0) enters the contest riding a wave of momentum, most recently dominating South Dakota Mines in an 88-43 victory on Tuesday. The Rams’ balanced attack was on display as McKenna Murphy scored 18 points and Kloe Froebe dished out six assists. Their schedule has also included notable road wins against Power Five opponent Oregon State and Gonzaga, suggesting their record is built on substantial competition.
Texas Southern (3-1) brings a potent offense to Las Vegas, averaging over 80 points per game in its three victories. The Lady Tigers are coming off a 96-32 rout of Arlington Baptist on Nov. 20, where Daeja Holmes posted 12 points and eight assists. Their lone loss, however, was a decisive 111-45 defeat at the hands of the University of Texas, indicating a potential struggle against high-major opponents.
The game presents a classic matchup of an unstoppable force against a high-scoring challenger. The Rams will look to their stifling defense, which has held four opponents under 45 points, to slow down the Lady Tigers. For Texas Southern, containing Colorado State’s multifaceted scoring and proving it can compete with a top-tier program will be the primary challenge.
Tipoff is set for Nov. 28 in a neutral-site contest that serves as a prelude to Colorado State’s high-profile game against Stanford in Las Vegas the following day.
