The Rams are in the midst of their best season in school history at 31-1 and are winners of 28-consecutive games, a school and Mountain West record. The 28-game win streak is the second longest in the nation, trailing only UConn, and has propelled CSU into national prominence where the Rams are ranked in both the AP and USA Today Coaches Poll for the first time since Nov. 18, 2002. Since taking over the program four years ago, Colorado State has been on a meteoric rise under the direction of coach Ryun Williams.
