FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Colorado State men's basketball team will support Puerto Rico's hurricane relief efforts, as the Rams will host Northern Colorado in an exhibition game at Moby Arena, Sun., Nov. 5 at 5 p.m. All proceeds will benefit a relief fund for Puerto Rico, home of former Ram and current Dallas Mavericks guard Gian Clavell.
Colorado State played its regularly scheduled exhibition game against Colorado Mesa last night, defeating the Mavericks, 86-75. Senior forward Che Bob led the CSU effort with 28 points and 13 rebounds, including making 14-of-18 at the free throw line. Redshirt-sophomore center Nico Carvacho also had a double-double with 11 points and 16 rebounds. All five starters scored in double digits for the Rams, who are coming off a 24-12 season in 2016-17, including a runner-up finish in the Mountain West regular season and tournament as well as a second round appearance in the National Invitation Tournament.
In regular season play, CSU and UNC have met 105 times, with the Rams holding a 69-36 advantage. Last season, the two teams played in Moby on Dec. 10, 2016, with the Rams earning an 81-64 victory.
In light of the tragedies across the United States and Puerto Rico, the NCAA granted teams the ability to apply for a waiver for an additional exhibition game to be played for charities helping with hurricane relief efforts. CSU applied and has been granted waiver and chose Unidos por Puerto Rico in support of the home country of Clavell, a CSU graduate that earned Mountain West Player of the Year honors for the Rams last season.
"This is a great way for our athletic program to help one of our own," Director of Athletics Joe Parker said. "By the NCAA granting this waiver, we are able to allow our men's basketball team and entire athletic program to help Gian's efforts by donating to the hurricane recovery in Puerto Rico as they work tirelessly to overcome this natural disaster. We hope all Rams fans will come out to support this incredibly worthwhile charity while getting another preseason look at this year's team."
All seats, other than courtside, are general admission and will be $5 each, with all proceeds from the ticket sales going to the charity. In addition, a portion of all concessions proceeds will be going to the charity donation as well. Those who cannot attend can donate directly at https://www.unidosporpuertorico.com/en/. Tickets for the game can be purchased at the door or online through this online link.
