The team also got some help courtesy of Rashaan Mbemba, who went 6 for 7 en route to 12 points plus eight rebounds.

Meanwhile, Fresno State's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their fourth straight defeat. They opened the new year with a less-than-successful 89-83 loss to Utah State. The Bulldogs got off to an early lead (up 17 with 10:03 left in the first quarter), but sadly they weren't able to maintain that momentum.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Colo. State has been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.3 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Fresno State struggles in that department as they've been averaging 36.4. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
