Mark your calendars, Rams fans, because the new Pac-12 men’s basketball schedule just hit, and let me tell you, that Gonzaga game on March 6 at Moby Arena? It’s gonna be absolutely nuts.
Baptism by Fire: Road Trips and Conference Openers
CSU isn’t easing into the new Pac-12, no sir. Their first road trip in this beefed-up league takes them straight to powerhouse Gonzaga, followed by a brutal trip to Viejas Arena to face San Diego State. Talk about a baptism by fire! But hey, the Rams kick off their first ever Pac-12 game at home, hosting Texas State on January 6. That’s a huge moment, a chance to set the tone right out of the gate in Moby. And get this: the whole league is going round-robin, home and away with every single team. You know what that means? No easy outs, nowhere to hide.
Non-Conference Gauntlet and Big Tests
Before the Pac-12 grind even starts, this team is getting tested big time. They’re off to the Maui Invitational in November, squaring off with Arizona right away. Then it’s Providence or VCU, and eventually BYU, Clemson, Ole Miss, or Washington, all looking to make some noise. That’s a serious tournament lineup, built to make you battle-ready. They’ve also got the Texas Legends Classic in December with Nevada and Florida Atlantic, plus a road trip to Wisconsin before the year is out. This non-conference slate is no joke, it’s designed to toughen them up.
The Regular Season Finale: All Eyes on Gonzaga
But let’s be real, the game everyone’s already circled is that final regular season showdown: Gonzaga coming to Moby Arena on March 6. You want high stakes? That’s it. It could decide everything heading into the Pac-12 tournament, which, by the way, goes down March 9-13 in Las Vegas at MGM Garden Arena. Game times and TV details for most of the schedule are still to come in October, but get ready for a wild ride, because this new era of Pac-12 basketball is bringing some serious heat right to Fort Collins!
