Denver University at Colorado State

The Denver Pioneers have now been in three different conferences in three years, as they begin play this season having moved to the Summit. Denver has won 22 games in each of the past two seasons, but don't have the same depth and talent on this squad, opening 2-5. The road has always been problematic for this team, as they benefit from a high-altitude home court, but the advantage is gone on the road. Colorado State is 7-3, and is big and talented across the front, which they will be able to use to exploit Denver in the paint. The Pioneers are now 0-7 ATS outside of conference play and are a telling 14-46-1 ATS in their last 61 on the road vs. a team with a home winning percentage better than .600. Take the Rams.
