Despite squandering a double-digit advantage in the second half, Colorado State men’s basketball regained the lead in the final minutes and held on to defeat Nevada, 66-64, and open conference play with a victory Saturday in Reno, Nev.

In his last months of college wrestling, Andrew Alirez is more focused on performing well than worrying about results. If he wrestles to the best of his ability, without getting all hung up on the score or the match, he said, then he’ll do what he returned to Northern Colorado this year to do: win a second NCAA title. “I just feel in my heart nobody has seen the best version of me out there,” he said.
