FORT COLLINS, Colo. (KDVR) — Seems like the only opponent that can slow the Colorado State Rams down is COVID-19.

The Mountain West Conference announced Tuesday that the series between Colorado State and Nevada, scheduled for Feb. 20-22, has been postponed.

The Colorado State basketball team (14-4) has now had eight games canceled or postponed this season — five straight lost in a span of less than two weeks due to COVID issues with their opponents (New Mexico, Northern Colorado and now Nevada).

No word on how, or if, these games will be rescheduled. Viewed as a bubble team to make the NCAA Tournament, the Rams might need more games rescheduled to bolster their odds of postseason play.

The Rams next face Air Force to end their regular season (Feb. 27 and March 1). The Mountain West Championship Tournament is scheduled beginning March 10 in Las Vegas.
