Other players that finished in double-figures for Colorado State included: Isaiah Stevens (16 points, five rebounds) and Chandler Jacobs (14 points, five rebounds).
The Rams have been one of the sharpest offensive teams in the country, and have hit 50.2 percent of their shots this season, which is the fourth-highest mark in all of college basketball. Additionally, the Rams have been a strong 3-point shooting side, and have hit 38.2 percent of their attempts, which puts them in the top-20, nationally. Roddy has also been Colorado State's biggest threat from beyond the arc, as he's hit 22 of his 48 3-point shots this year.
San Diego State grabbed the first lead of the game and never let go against UNLV in the Rebels' last game, which ended in a 80-55 loss. On a positive note, guard Bryce Hamilton had 23 points and six boards, which makes three consecutive games in which he has scored at least 42 percent of UNLV's total points. In similar fashion to Roddy, Hamilton was UNLV's top playmaker from last season, and this year, he's averaged 19.8 points per game.
In conference play this season, the Rebels have led the Mountain West in offensive rebounds, with 10.1 per outing. Starting forward Royce Hamm Jr. has been the team's top man under the glass, where he averages 2.6 offensive boards and 9.9 total rebounds.
The model is leaning over on the total, and it's also generated a point-spread pick that is hitting in just over 50 percent of simulations. You can only see the pick at SportsTek.
