Denver Film Festival 2024: New red-carpet venue, movies, and celebs for 47th year
The 47th Denver Film Festival is moving all but one its red-carpet screenings to a new venue this year, alongside Colorado premieres of buzzy indies such as “The Piano Lesson” and “The Brutalist,” and in-person guests including Patricia Clarkson, Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
The festival, Nov. 1-10 at multiple venues, will offer 185 narrative features, shorts, and documentaries, as well as parties, panels, workshops and a gala, according to nonprofit producer Denver Film.
Single tickets to screenings, plus special and gala presentations and Red Carpets, are on sale to Denver Film members on Thursday, Oct. 3, and the public on Friday, Oct. 4, at denverfilm.org/denverfilmfestival.
For the first time this year, the festival‘s opening and closing-night red carpet screenings will be at Museum of Contemporary Art Denver’s Holiday Theater, a historic building the museum restored in the Highland neighborhood that has lately hosted screenings, panels and musical performances. The Red Carpets are moving there from downtown’s Ellie Caulkins Opera House, a favored and prestigious venue that Denver Film has in recent years struggled to fill — even before the pandemic.
However, the Centerpiece presentation of “The Order” still will be at the Ellie. The film is an adaptation of a nonfiction book co-written by former Rocky Mountain News reporter and current Denver City Councilman Kevin Flynn, which looks at a violent, far-right group of neo-Nazis that operated in Washington in the 1980s. It stars Jude Law and Nicholas Holt and plays the Ellie on Nov. 8.
Bookending it are opening and closing-night red carpets at MCA’s Holiday Theater, with the first being the Nov. 1 screening of “The Piano Lesson.” The August Wilson adaptation stars Samuel L. Jackson and John David Washington; writer Virgil Williams will appear in person to receive Denver Film’s Excellence in Writing award.
The festival will close with “September 5,” which stars Peter Sarsgaard and John Magaro in its dramatization of the 1972 Munich Olympics hostage crisis. It plays the MCA Holiday Theater on Nov. 9.
Several Denver premieres are also slated, including “The Brutalist,” “Better Man,” “The Room Next Door,” “Emilia Perez,” “Blitz,” “Oh, Canada,” “The Last Showgirl” and “Nightbitch” — that last one starring Colorado native Amy Adams.
Fest producers also said they’ll host celebs this year such as Patricia Clarkson (“Sharp Objects,” “Six Feet Under”), who will receive the Cassavetes Award at a screening of “Lilly” at MCA Denver Holiday Theater. Marianne Jean-Baptiste will receive Denver Film’s Excellence in Acting Award following a screening of “Hard Truths,” Denver Film said. Jesse Tyler Ferguson (“Modern Family”), will be on-hand for his CinemaQ LaBahn Ikon Film Award, following a screening of “All That We Love” and short film “It’s Okay.”
Directors RaMell Ross (“The Nickel Boys”), Jason Reitman (“Saturday Night”), Nnamdi Asomugha (“The Knife”), Cristiana Dell’Anna (“Cabrini”) and others will appear in person alongside their screenings.
Denver Film’s Sie FilmCenter will serve as the festival anchor, with additional screenings at the Ellie, Denver Botanic Gardens, AMC 9 + CO 10, and the MCA Holiday Theater.

Parker Gabriel’s 7 Thoughts after Broncos capture No. 1 seed, including Bo Nix barking at Sean Payton, then looking inward
The Broncos are in prime position.
They didn’t wow many people Sunday, but they controlled a 19-3 win against the Los Angeles Chargers from start to finish and in the process secured the AFC’s No. 1 seed, a first-round playoff bye and homefield advantage as long as they’re in the tournament.
They are two home wins away from playing in Super Bowl 60.
Head coach Sean Payton after the game did as much shrugging off of an offensive o-fer in scoring position as he’ll ever do.
Players were business-like, but they can feel the inbound rest already.
As they arrived home Sunday night, there are 14 teams still playing in the NFL.
By the time they next take the field, that number will be eight.
Now the fun really begins.
Here are 7 Thoughts following Denver’s dominant defensive performance and a remarkable 14-3 regular season.
1. Bo Nix asked Sean Payton for more urgency early in Sunday’s game. Afterward, he said he should have provided it himself.
Broncos quarterback Bo Nix looked to the sideline.
Early in the second quarter, Denver’s trudging offense finally found a bit of a spark.
Tyler Badie had just taken a third-and-13 swing pass for 16 yards and a first down.
Now the offense could kick into gear.
Except the second-year quarterback clearly didn’t feel the momentum.
Nix got sacked and lost 5 yards on first-and-10.
Then he shot a look to the home sideline and his head coach, Sean Payton. The CBS cameras picked up his words clearly.
“Sean, wake up,” he barked. “Let’s go.”

Nix clapped his hands the way he does when he wants the play calls relayed to him faster.
Payton after the game acknowledged the overall sluggishness and his own.
“I certainly wasn’t as sharp as I wanted to be,” the veteran head coach allowed.
Nix, though, had a different take on the encounter and on the offense’s inability to get rolling in its regular season finale.
“I should have done a better job today having more urgency in the huddle, getting us going,” Nix said. “I felt like I failed us on that. Overall, I thought we didn’t play with the tempo and the passion that we normally play with.
“Now, there’s a lot that goes into that. It’s Week 18, it’s the last game of the year. You’re up 10-0, it’s weird early. Strange football game. You prepare for one thing all week and get something different. You don’t know who’s going to show up (for the Chargers).”
Nix turned in statistically one of the worst passing performances of his career. His 141 yards are the fewest he’s had in a game this season and the fourth-fewest of his career. He took four sacks for the first time this season and just the second time in his career.
His offense found itself at the Chargers’ 20-yard line or deeper four times and did not find the end zone.
Nix, though, called the red zone struggles in particular “nothing to panic about,” and expressed confidence overall that the Broncos’ offense will be ready to go in two weeks.
What he lamented more was the way he handled himself.
“The next time we get in that spot, I’ve got to have better urgency and be a little bit of a spark myself,” he said. “The rest of the guys will do the same.”
That’s all part of the growth of a young quarterback.
You can want the coach to be a little bit sharper. You can wish the game-planning for an opponent in flux on the last week of the season came together a little bit cleaner.
You can find all kinds of reasons for fluster or frustration.
At the end of the day, though, everybody else is going to look to you to be the source of the spark.
At the end of the day, how quarterbacks play in these games and in particular over the next month are the kind of stretches that define legacies and change lives.
2. After the game, Sean Payton got to riffing about the Super Bowl. Given the Broncos’ roster, he’ll likely spend a lot of time the next couple of weeks talking about it with his team.
There are several players on the Broncos’ roster who have played in a Super Bowl.
Mike McGlinchey joked recently that injured fullback Mike Burton stole a ring from him when McGlinchey was with the San Francisco 49ers and Burton with Kansas City back in February of 2020. OK, maybe that was more Patrick Mahomes’ doing, when the Chiefs scored three touchdowns to erase a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit. ILB Dre Greenlaw played in that game. He played in 2024, too, though he ruptured his Achilles in that game.
The Broncos, though, do not have much in the way of experience actually winning a Super Bowl.
In fact, Burton is the only player on the active roster, practice squad or injured reserve — the only player in the Broncos building, period, with a ring.
That makes Payton this team’s Super Bowl sherpa.
It’s been 17 years now since he and the 2009 Saints lifted the trophy, but once the Broncos head man got talking about the experience on Sunday night, he barely slowed down.
That’s what the No. 1 seed means. It means, as Payton said, being able to see light at the end of the tunnel. Denver has two games, the type of which this franchise hasn’t played in a decade, it must win just to get there.
But they have a real chance and the best position of anybody in the field.
The coach knows it.
And he wants, as he says, for a bunch of first-timers to experience what it’s like.
“I mean this, the thing that was hardest about that (NFC Championship Game) loss, the no-call, was that you’re so excited for those that have never been and experienced it,” Payton said, recalling the 2019 NFC title game when an egregious missed pass-interference penalty helped cost the Saints a Super Bowl appearance.
“You try to tell them, ‘whatever you think it is, it’s a million times different,’” Payton said. “Like, the first five minutes playing in that game, your feet are floating. You’re really not present. It’s hard. I got lectured about it.”
Payton, referring likely mentor to Bill Parcells, said he was told to have something basic to start the game with.
“The very first play we ran slant, belly,” Payton said. “Two weeks later he said to me, ‘You had two weeks to prepare for that and you ran a freakin’ slant?
“It’s like any time you want someone to see a movie or go to a restaurant or experience something. That’s the thing that was so difficult getting that close. … There are so many great players in our league that have never even been to one.”
He wasn’t done.
“And I’ve been a part of a team that lost one and that’s traumatic, now. We played the Ravens and didn’t score a touchdown. We had a kick return for a touchdown. And we go back to the party and there’s my mom saying, ‘you were magnificent tonight.’ And you’re like, ‘No. I wasn’t.’ And you get shooed off the field.”
Payton has said since July he thinks this 2025 Broncos team can compete for a Super Bowl title. He’s believed it perhaps longer than anybody else on the planet.
Players bought in quickly. Reporters, analysts, fans all came along at varying speeds and maybe a few still don’t think it’s possible.
But Denver is two wins at Empower Field away from getting its shot.
“We’re in this thing,” Payton said. “We’ve got great respect. The field will be tough.”
3. Broncos players are off until Friday but at least one coach (and maybe more) will likely have a busy week interviewing for other jobs.
Part of Denver’s win and perch with the No. 1 seed is that it will impact the potential interview schedule for anybody who might get a look for head coaching vacancies around the NFL.
That, of course, likely includes Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. He interviewed for jobs last year and once again oversaw a terrific defense this year.
There’s also a chance quarterbacks coach Davis Webb gets interviews as teams survey a potential pool that is heavy on defensive coaches and features fewer true offensive assistants.
Because the Broncos have a bye week, teams with head coaching vacancies can request interviews with Denver assistants as soon as mid-week. Those interviews would happen virtually and must be completed by the time Wild Card weekend ends.
Then subsequent interviews can take place either once the Broncos are eliminated from the playoffs or, if Denver makes the Super Bowl, on the bye week between the conference title game and Super Bowl week in the Bay Area.
Broncos defensive players have had nothing but effusive praise for Joseph.
“He deserves every opportunity in the world,” inside linebacker Alex Singleton told The Post on Sunday night. “I think he’s one of the best coaches in the world. The best coach in the world. He deserves every opportunity.”
Singleton joked that he’s a free agent after the season, so if Joseph gets a job it may not be the end of the road for the two as a pair.
“We win three and he can come get his boy,” Singleton said with a smile.
Webb told The Post during the week he hasn’t given much thought to what might be ahead, though he’s among the most well-thought-of young coaches in the league. He acknowledged, though, that he wants to be in the business for a long time.
“Well, I retired to hopefully do that kind of stuff or else I would have kept playing for another five years,” he said. “But in the same breath, I’ve got plenty to worry about (Week 18) and then hopefully a long playoff run. So, not really too (concerned). I mean, it will all work out.
“But I really enjoy my job here. I enjoy this quarterback room. This is fun and I love living here.”
As of Sunday night, the openings include the New York Giants, Tennessee and Atlanta. There are almost certainly more to open on what’s referred to as “Black Monday” in the NFL.
4. After a wild finish to the AFC North title game, the Broncos have four teams they can face at Empower Field on Divisional weekend. Here’s a quick look at each.
No. 4 Pittsburgh (10-7)
The Steelers got a late touchdown drive from 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers on Sunday night, then led by only two because of a missed extra point. Lamar Jackson led Baltimore to field goal range and then Tyler Loop missed a game-deciding field goal of his own.
Crazy ending.
The Steelers have been a bit up and down all year, but they’re a veteran group with a Hall of Fame quarterback and a coach who just keeps finding ways to win in Mike Tomlin.
Recently: Pittsburgh’s won four of its past five, with the lone loss coming in Week 17 to Cleveland.
Strength: Experience on a defense that nearly collapsed late vs. Baltimore but features edge rushers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, defensive lineman Cam Heywerd and defensive back Jalen Ramsey. That group has given up points and yards this season but entered Sunday having taken the ball away 27 times, too.
No. 5 Houston (12-5)
The Texans roll into the playoffs on an incredible run but having come up short in the AFC South because Jacksonville’s also been on a mega heater. They snuck out a win Sunday against Indianapolis that ultimately wouldn’t have mattered because the Jags won the division, but all the same this is a group that has offensive firepower and a ferocious defense.
Recently: Well, the Texans have won nine in a row. In fact, they haven’t lost since dropping an 18-15 home game to Denver on Nov. 1. The Texans played most of that game without quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was knocked out early due to a concussion.
Strength: A terrific defense orchestrated by head coach DeMeco Ryans. Houston has one of the league’s best pass-rushes, led by outside linebackers Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson. It has a terrific secondary topped by All-Pro corner Derek Stingley Jr. and safeties Calen Bullock and K’Von Wallace. They entered Week 18 No. 1 in the NFL in scoring, total defense, first downs allowed and a host of other metrics.
No. 6 Buffalo (12-5)
The Bills rested a bunch of guys in Week 18 and still steamrolled the New York Jets. Really. Mitchell Trubisky threw four touchdowns in a regular season game.
Recently: Buffalo’s won five of its past six, the lone loss coming in a one-point loss against Philadelphia. Buffalo fell behind the Patriots early in the season and could never catch up in the AFC East, but Sean McDermott’s team is playing good football and can run the ball with the best in the NFL.
Strength: Easy. They have the big, bad wolf. That’s quarterback Josh Allen. With the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow watching the playoffs from home this year, Allen is the best and most decorated player in the AFC postseason field.
He’s an MVP. He’s a proven game-changer. He’s not been to a Super Bowl and, despite the low seed, might not have a better chance. The Bills will have to do it on the road beginning in Jacksonville, but it’s hard to count Allen out.
No. 7 L.A. Chargers
Not much needs to be said here. The teams just played, albeit without quarterback Justin Herbert and company. They’d pushed hard to get to the doorstep of playing for an AFC West title, but fell short in Week 17 against Houston and settled for playing for health in Week 18 rather than to improve seed.
Recently: Justin Herbert put a beleaguered offensive line on his back and led the Chargers to seven wins in eight games before the club dropped its final two games.
Strength: Herbert and head coach Jim Harbaugh. Those guys can give the Chargers confidence against anybody in the field — including the Patriots next weekend — and when Herbert plays, Harbaugh has not yet lost to the Broncos.
5. One thought after a rough offensive outing: Perhaps it will be a Jaleel McLaughlin Playoffs for the Broncos.
For the first time since J.K. Dobbins’ injury, a running back besides rookie RJ Harvey started for Denver. That was only a nominal development, since Harvey came in for Jaleel McLaughlin after one snap.
What happened after that, however, felt substantial.
McLaughlin churned out 41 yards on six carries and added a 17-yard reception. That’s 58 total yards of offense on seven touches.
Harvey, meanwhile, plugged ahead for 28 yards on 15 carries, his least productive outing since taking over the starting role when Dobbins was hurt in early November. He caught one pass on four targets for 5 yards and dropped one, too.
Denver, for better and for worse, knows essentially what it has in McLaughlin. He’s got burst but he’s slight. He’ll create chunk plays but isn’t a home run hitter. He profiles like a good pass-catcher but really hasn’t been an efficient one in his career.
What he’s done consistently the past two months, though, is give the Broncos a spark whenever he’s in the game.
McLaughlin is up to 5.1 yards per carry on the season.
He’s still seeing reps in line with being the No. 2 back, but come the playoffs, it’ll be interesting to see if Payton and company give him a bigger work load or perhaps are at least willing to ride the hot hand if he continues to out-produce Harvey.
6. It’s mostly a conversation for another day, but the Broncos’ decision-making at inside linebacker this offseason is going to be very interesting
Singleton, as he mentioned Sunday night, is a free agent after the season. So, too, is Justin Strnad. Veteran Dre Greenlaw is in the first of a three-year deal with Denver but the way the contract is structured, it wouldn’t be too painful for the Broncos to get out of it if they decide the continued injury risk is not worth the squeeze going forward.
Cutting Greenlaw would save more than $6.8 million on on Denver’s cap in 2026 and incur about $3.3 million in dead cap space, according to Over the Cap.
They’ve got young, developing players at the position, too. The most interesting name there is rookie Jordan Turner, who has been good on special teams and pops every time he gets any kind of clean-up action late in games.
The most notable development through the regular season, though, is Strnad’s emergence. He has played high-quality football and has turned himself into a real, starting-caliber NFL player.
Strnad rolls into the playoffs with 4.5 sacks to his name. He had a team-best seven tackles (tied with Singleton) on Sunday and 57 total tackles.
Strnad played starter snaps on the weakside the first six weeks of the season with Greenlaw out due to a quad injury, then did a stint on the bench. He then wore the green dot and played Mike for a week when Alex Singleton was diagnosed with testicular cancer in November. Then he went back to the bench. Now he’s playing heavy snaps on the weak side again with Greenlaw out due to a hamstring injury.
A year ago, Cody Barton got $7 million per year in free agency after a year in Denver.
Strnad’s playing better football now than Barton did at any point last year. He’s in line for a nice payday. Singleton’s been the primary play caller for Joseph for three seasons. Greenlaw, when healthy, is a force in the run game and has a history of being good in coverage. But he’s not been healthy often.
Does Denver move forward with only one of the three? Maybe two? It’s difficult to see all three back and it’s become more and more difficult to imagine the Broncos let Strnad wear a different uniform next year.
7a. The turnovers showed up Sunday for Denver’s defense. Now, can they keep it rolling in the postseason?
The Broncos’ defense hasn’t had the kind of high-flying season it did a year ago when it comes to putting points on the board, but they did their job Sunday in the team’s clinching win. The only touchdown of Denver’s day came in the first quarter when nickel Ja’Quan McMillian intercepted Los Angeles quarterback Trey Lance off a tipped ball and ran it back for a touchdown. It was just the defense’s 13th takeaway of the season and the first time Vance Joseph’s group has scored this year. That’s in substantial contrast to a year ago when the Broncos defense scored five touchdown and added a pair of safeties for 39 total points.
This one was well-timed, though, considering it came on a day in which the Denver offense did almost nothing. Denver’s mounted a 15-play drive to open the game that ended in an field goal and after that their next seven drives resulted in just four first downs and another field goal. Wil Lutz’s third conversion of the night came thanks to the defense again when a strip sack from outside linebacker Nik Bonitto set up the Broncos at L.A.’s 20-yard line. The offense went backward two yards.
Remarkably, when rookie DL Sai’Vion Jones jumped on the fumble Bonitto forced, it was the defense’s first fumble recovery since Week 1.
7b. Nik Bonitto finished the regular season with a flurry and Denver’s sack record will be difficult to ever top.
With 1.5 sacks in the Broncos’ regular-season finale, finished the season with a career-high 14.
The star edge rusher had gone quiet down the stretch, playing three straight games without a sack. Though he hadn’t actually sacked a quarterback in a while, Bonitto did record an 18% pressure rate in that stretch, which was not terribly far off his 19.4% mark entering Week 18.
Against the Chargers, Bonitto could have had even more. He had quarterback Trey Lance right in his sights and hit him squarely, only to have the quarterback bounce off him and take off toward the sideline.
Still, the flurry sends Bonitto into the bye week on a high note.
The Broncos as a whole, meanwhile, finished the regular season with a franchise record 68 sacks. They broke their own mark from last year in Week 17 and built on it with four sacks Sunday to close out the regular season. Zach Allen chipped in with half a sack and the other two came from a pair of role players who have had really solid seasons: Strnad (4.5 sacks) and DL Eyioma Uwazurike (3.5).
7c. A pair of Payton-related statistical quick-hitters to wrap this thing.
* Payton won 14 regular-season games for the first time in his career.
* He’s just the fifth coach to lead two different teams to a No. 1 seed in the postseason. The others: Andy Reid, Mike Holmgren, Marty Schottenheimer and Tom Caughlin.
7d. Thanks for reading 7 Thoughts this season as we’ve got it off the ground.
Turns out, there are at least 7 more thoughts coming later this month and perhaps beyond. Maybe 14. Maybe 21.

DENVER — The Broncos have checked off their second goal of the season.
Denver officially clinched the AFC’s No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs with Sunday’s 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
As the top seed, the Broncos will receive a first-round bye in the 2025 playoffs and will host their first playoff game of the year in the Divisional Round on Saturday, Jan. 17 or Sunday, Jan. 18 at Empower Field at Mile High.
The Broncos, the lone team in the AFC to receive a first-round bye, will host the lowest remaining seed in the AFC playoff field in the Divisional Round. Denver’s possible opponents for its playoff opener include the Texans, Bills, Chargers and the yet-to-be-determined winner of the AFC North. If the Broncos earn a win in the Divisional Round, they would also host the AFC Championship Game.
Denver finished the 2025 regular season with a 14-3 mark, which is tied for the most regular-season wins in franchise history. The Broncos earned the No. 1 seed over the Patriots (14-3) due to a better record in games against common opponents.
The Broncos are the No. 1 seed in the AFC for the first time since 2015, when they went on to win Super Bowl 50. Denver has earned the No. 1 seed for an AFC-best ninth time, and two of the Broncos’ three Super Bowl titles have come after earning the No. 1 seed. The Broncos advanced to the Super Bowl in six of the eight previous seasons in which Denver earned the top seed in the conference.
Broncos Head Coach Sean Payton has now led teams to the No. 1 seed on three occasions in his career, and he is one of five coaches to lead two different organizations to a No. 1 seed.
Bo Nix, meanwhile, became the fourth quarterback in franchise history to lead the organization to a No. 1 seed — joining Ring of Famers John Elway, Peyton Manning and Craig Morton.

Grading The Week: From Bo Nix’s dog days to Mackenzie Blackwood and Nikola Jokic, Denver sports’ 2026 off to rocky start
The Lumberyard is breaking boards already?
The Colorado Avalanche is becoming the Colorado Ambulanche. The Nuggets’ center options went from Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valanciunas to the 1-2 punch of DeRon Holmes II and Zeke Nnaji.
Hang on. Hang on. Wasn’t 2026 supposed to be “Denver’s Year?”
At least, that’s what the Grading The Week (GTW) crew told each other at the annual holiday soiree a fortnight ago, just before we sent everybody home for Christmas.
Well after the last eight days or so, Team GTW thinks it might be wise now for the Broncos to double Bo Nix’s security. (Just don’t bring any guard dogs.)
Because if it wasn’t for bad luck, to paraphrase the late, great bluesman Albert King, Front Range sports fans wouldn’t have no luck at all.
Blackwood to the IR — D.
This past Friday, the Avs took a break from wiping the ice with the rest of the NHL to place goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood, the younger half of its “Lumberyard” pairing of netminders, on injured reserve with a lower body injury.
You want lousy timing? Blackwood’s absence piles it on with several layers of awful.
For one, the Thunder Bay native finished December on a heater — posting an 8-1-0 record, a 2.13 Goals Against Average and a save rate of 92.3%.
For another, Colorado is in the teeth of one of the tougher road trips of the season, with visits to division leading Carolina on tap for Saturday, followed by a matinee Sunday at Florida to cap off a night game-into-day-game back-to-back, capped off by a Tuesday evening visit to Tampa Bay.
For yet another, Blackwood only faced 13 shots on New Year’s Eve, his last start, during a 6-1 Avs win over St. Louis at Ball Arena.
Scott Wedgewood (17-1-4, 2.13 GAA, .919 save percentage as of early Saturday) has been more than good enough to shoulder the load in net, granted. But you also don’t want to overload a 33-year-old goalie who’s having a career year in his eighth full season in the NHL. Wedgewood, largely a “1B” netminder since ’15-16, had already logged 24 starts this season going into the weekend. His career high for starts is 32 and his season average has been 20 per year. Depending on the severity of Blackwood’s injury, Wedgewood, at least in the short term, is going to have to ramp up the quantity to match his quality.
In isolation, it’s a lousy way to open 2026. Add in the freak knee injury Nuggets icon Jokic suffered this past Monday night in Miami and Valanciunas’ calf strain two days later in Toronto, you wonder what Denverites did to anger the sporting gods. Or if we’re getting payback for October-December being so absolutely glorious ’round these parts.
Regardless, let’s put a pin in those multiple-championship-parades-in-one-year plans — at least until Nix and the Broncos get to Santa Clara next month in one piece.
CSU women’s hoops rolling — A.
May whatever karma that’s haunting Ball Arena spare the good folks up in FoCo. The CSU Rams’ women’s basketball team finished the December part of its ’25-26 slate with a flourish on Dec. 31, stomping Grand Canyon in Phoenix 61-47 and improving to 12-2 overall, 3-0 in Mountain West play. CSU has won 12 straight away games dating back to last season. The Rams get a two-game homestand against Fresno State (Saturday) and New Mexico (Wednesday) before returning to the road on Jan. 10 (at Boise State) and Jan. 14 (at Air Force).
