Colorado State won the 2025 Mountain West Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament Championship on Saturday, defeating Boise State 69-56 in Las Vegas.

CSU’s Nque Clifford was named the tournament MVP for his game-high 24 points and six rebounds.

Arizona came up short against Houston in the Big 12 title game, losing 72-64 in Kansas City. Caleb Love scored a team-high 19 points to lead the Wildcats.

The Rams will likely steal an NCAA Tournament bid, Boise State’s fate is in the hands of the Selection Committee, and Arizona remains safely in the field of the Big Dance.
