RMAC Men’s Basketball News & Notes Colorado State University - Pueblo (2-2, 0-0 RMAC) Team Notes: CSU-Pueblo turned a treacherous second half into a rousing comeback Saturday, going on a 15-4 run in the game’s final minutes to defeat Montana Western 87-81. The Pack defense held Montana Western without a field goal for the final 6:07 of the game, during which time the Pack piled on 20 points to just eight by Montana Western. CSU-Pueblo saw a would-be win fall through the cracks in the final moments as Colorado Mesa outlasted the Pack 79-77 at the Holiday Inn Thanksgiving Classic in Grand Junction Sunday. The game’s frustrating end came on the heels of an otherwise solid performance offensively for the Pack as four ThunderWolves scored in double figures, led by Tigner’s 19 points. Julian Caldwell followed up with 17 points and nine rebounds. CSU-Pueblo, now 2-2 on the young season, will begin RMAC play this week when it travels to Adams State and Fort Lewis Friday and Saturday.

RMAC Men’s Basketball News & Notes Colorado State University - Pueblo (2-2, 0-0 RMAC) Team Notes: CSU-Pueblo turned a treacherous second half into a rousing comeback Saturday, going on a 15-4 run in the game’s final minutes to defeat Montana Western 87-81. The Pack defense held Montana Western without a field goal for the final 6:07 of the game, during which time the Pack piled on 20 points to just eight by Montana Western. CSU-Pueblo saw a would-be win fall through the cracks in the final moments as Colorado Mesa outlasted the Pack 79-77 at the Holiday Inn Thanksgiving Classic in Grand Junction Sunday. The game’s frustrating end came on the heels of an otherwise solid performance offensively for the Pack as four ThunderWolves scored in double figures, led by Tigner’s 19 points. Julian Caldwell followed up with 17 points and nine rebounds. CSU-Pueblo, now 2-2 on the young season, will begin RMAC play this week when it travels to Adams State and Fort Lewis Friday and Saturday.
