Coming off the best conference season in program history, Colorado State men’s basketball was rewarded with several honors, including Niko Medved being named Mountain West Coach of the Year by the league’s media as announced today. Joining Medved was sophomore forward David Roddy, who was selected to the first team, and sophomore guard Isaiah Stevens, who garnered second-team accolades.
Medved continued his history of improving programs in each of his seasons, as he led the Rams to a 17-5 overall mark during the COVID-shortened season, including a 14-4 record in the Mountain West. The 14 wins are the most conference wins ever in program history, while the 14-4 record is tops for CSU in their 22-year membership in the Mountain West. Medved’s squad was the only Mountain West team not to get swept in a two-game conference series this season, as CSU was the only team to earn wins at San Diego State and Utah State this year while going 5-3 against the four teams picked above it in the preseason poll. Among those wins was the nation’s largest rally from behind for a win, as CSU came from 26 points down to win at then-No. 23 San Diego State.
