The Buffaloes then went on an 18-3 run to take a 65-62 lead with 9:49 to go.
The Rams went scoreless for 5:07 with four turnovers during that Colorado run.
Colorado State led by as many as 12 in the first half, but the Buffaloes cut the lead to 48-41 at halftime.

Carey Booth then fed Rechsteiner and Pascarelli for 3-pointers and a 31-22 lead with 8:24 left.
Rechsteinner then nailed a 3-pointer out of a timeout for a 34-24 Colorado State lead with 6:58 left.
Sebastian Rancik brought the Buffaloes back when he scored on a layup, then had a steal the next possession to allow Johnson to score on a layup with 5:37 left to cut the deficit to 36-28.
A minute later, Felix Kossaras laid in a basket to make it 40-32.
Jorgensen stretched the lead to 43-32 for the Rams with a 3-pointer with 3:38 left, but the Buffaloes outscored the Rams 9-5 the rest of the way to get the deficit back into single figures.
