The Rams pulled away in the second half, ballooning the lead to 30 points by the middle of the second half.
The Fighting Hawks never led in the game and trailed by as many as 34.

UND’s frontcourt struggled as Mambouro Mara ended with no points on three shots and a minus-22 plus-minus in 21 minutes. Deng Mayar was 1-for-5 with five points and minus-16 in 15 minutes of play.
Grand Forks Red River’s Zach Kraft, a redshirt freshman guard, played his first minutes for UND but didn’t put up a shot in six minutes of action.
Colorado State, led by coach Niko Medved, was 25-11 last season and 15-2 at home. The Rams were an NCAA Tournament qualifier last year, losing to Texas in the first round.
UND will now play at Texas-San Antonio at 6 p.m. Saturday in Texas.
