ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — One by one, the Rams are checking them off the list.

First Viejas Arena, then the Thomas & Mack Center. And now, the Pit.

Entering the season, Colorado State basketball hadn’t won a road game at any of those venues since 2011.

The Rams have now conquered all of them in one improbable run through the Mountain West — the latest a 68-56 win at New Mexico on Tuesday night.

Emmanuel Omogbo recorded his 16th double-double of the season with 17 points and 14 rebounds, and Gian Clavell scored a game-best 24 points to lead the first-place Rams (19-9, 11-4 MW) to a fifth-straight road win, something the program has never done before in a single season.

“I think it’s the crowd, they way they talk to us, the intensity on coach’s face,” Clavell said of his team’s success on the road. “I love winning away more than at home. Of course, home is always good, but away is better.”

CSU, which guaranteed itself a winning road record for just the second time in 19 years, used a 13-5 run to end the first half to take a 36-29 halftime lead. The Lobos (16-12, 9-7) closed within three early in the second half before Colorado State’s two sensational seniors took over.

Clavell scored 10 straight points for CSU, followed by nine in a row by Omogbo, to open up a 13-point lead with less than 5 minutes to play. Elijah Brown, who led UNM with 20 points on 8 of 18 shooting, made a 3 with 1:03 to play to cut the deficit to seven before free throws by Clavell and Prentiss Nixon (11 points, three rebounds) iced it.

Defense was again a big difference maker for CSU, which held UNM to its lowest point total at home this season and its second-fewest points in any game.

“(Assistant coach) Willie Glover did a great job, our whole staff did a great job of coming up with a scheme together,” Eustachy said. “Like we always do, we tried to take their strengths away.”

Winning at the Pit is about as rare as it gets for the Rams as they won in Albuquerque for just the third time in 45 games dating back to 1972.

The win also vaulted CSU into sole possession of first place in the Mountain West for the time being, a half-game ahead of Nevada (21-6, 10-4) and Boise State (17-8, 10-4), which play each other in Reno on Wednesday. In search of their first regular season conference title since 1990 with three to play, the Rams’ upcoming slate doesn’t get much easier, starting with a home game Saturday against a San Diego State team that has won five of six.

“This team just continues to amaze me,” Eustachy said. “But we’ve got to quickly settle in, and I think it’s going to be much tougher Saturday, even though it’s at home.

“If you were to ask me who is the favorite to win the conference tournament, it’s San Diego State. They’ve finally hit stride. They’ve got big-time talent, they’re coming in their own and it should be a great environment from here on out in Moby.”
