Analyzing last season's data, we can discern some key trends that may influence this matchup. The Bulldogs played a total of 31 games and showed proficiency from the free-throw line with a perfect conversion rate. Their true shooting percentage was also impressive, indicating efficient scoring when accounting for free throws and three-pointers. Additionally, they were strong inside the arc with an impeccable two-point field goal percentage.


On average per game, Fresno State demonstrated solid defensive capabilities with over 6 steals and more than 3 blocks. However, they also averaged around 16 personal fouls per game which could be a point of concern if not managed properly. Offensively, they averaged nearly 64 points per game with contributions across assists (over 12) and rebounds (nearly 28). Their ball handling resulted in just over 10 turnovers per game – an area where maintaining control will be crucial against Wyoming.

The Bulldogs' field goal efficiency was notable as well; sinking on average about 23 field goals per game indicates that they have shooters who can score when given opportunities. From beyond the arc, they made almost seven three-pointers each contest – a stat that could prove vital in stretching the Cowboys' defense.


As we look ahead to this encounter at Thomas & Mack Center – known for its energetic atmosphere – it will be interesting to see how these statistics translate into performance on court against Wyoming Cowboys.
