Where good news shines

Colorado State’s Kyle Jorgensen is off to a rip-roaring start.

A 6-foot-9 sophomore, Jorgensen was named Mountain West player of the week Monday after averaging 20 points, nine rebounds, three assists and one steal as the Rams opened the Ali Farokhmanesh era with a 2-0 record.

Jorgensen scored 40 points on only 17 shots. He also made 15 of 17 free throws. A Minneapolis native, Jorgensen had 25 points and nine rebounds in Sunday’s win over Omaha.

Colorado State hosts Cal Poly at Moby Arena at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
