CSU Will Not Participate In C.M. Newton Classic Against Alabama Next Tuesday
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – After continued evaluation of the Colorado State men’s basketball program based on various public health professional recommendations and regarding COVID, the Rams will no longer participate in the C.M. Newton Classic against No. 6 Alabama next Tuesday night. The games with both Tulsa and Alabama will not be made up.
“We are disappointed that the current health status of our team does not allow us to play the upcoming game against Alabama,” athletic director Joe Parker said. “The health of everyone involved in the event, including both sets of student-athletes, coaches staff and fans, is of the utmost importance to us. By making the decision now, it affords Alabama an opportunity to find another opponent for next week.”
The status of future games will be determined at a later date following further evaluation.
