Historical Context

The series between Colorado State and San Jose State reflects the broader competitive imbalance within the Mountain West Conference. Since San Jose State joined the MWC for the 2013-14 season, Colorado State has dominated the head-to-head matchup. Entering the 2023-24 season, the Rams held a commanding 19-3 all-time record against the Spartans. In the 2022-23 season, Colorado State won both meetings by an average margin of 17.5 points. Historically, Colorado State has been a more successful basketball program, making 11 NCAA Tournament appearances, most recently in 2022. San Jose State has only one NCAA Tournament bid in its history, which came in 1996. The Spartans have finished with a winning record in MWC play just once (2015-16) since joining the league. This context frames every meeting as a matchup between an established, tournament-caliber program and one attempting to climb the conference ladder. Games in Fort Collins have been particularly challenging for San Jose State, which has rarely won at Moby Arena.
