FORT COLLINS — The Colorado State-Colorado men’s basketball rivalry will continue.

The two in-state rivals have agreed to renew their series, new CSU head coach Niko Medved told the Reporter-Herald on Friday. The two programs have met every season since 1991-92, a streak that was in jeopardy after their contract expired after last season’s game at CSU.

“We’re going to renew the Colorado series, and that’s a good thing we were able to do that,” Medved said. “We’ll obviously start back in Boulder this year, and then they come back to CSU the following year. That’s a good thing for everybody.”

Medved did not say how long the new contract runs.

Citing concerns with recent attendance and RPI, CU coach Tad Boyle told the Boulder Daily Camera in April that renewing the series would require “some serious thought.”

After a string of four consecutive sellouts or near sellouts, CSU drew just 5,217 fans for last December’s game in Fort Collins, just 60 percent of Moby Arena’s capacity. The Coors Events Center was 79 percent full (8,715) for the 2016 meeting in Boulder.

When it comes to RPI, however, Boyle might have been overreacting a bit following CSU’s worst season in more than a decade, a tumultuous campaign that concluded with the Rams ranked 235th. Prior to that, Colorado State finished with a better RPI than CU in five of seven seasons dating back to 2010-11.

The Buffaloes hold an 89-38 advantage all-time against the Rams, but the rivalry has been very competitive the past decade-plus with each team winning six of the past 12 matchups.

Other confirmed opponents for CSU’s non-conference schedule include Arkansas, New Mexico State and Southern Illinois.
