Second Half
As the second half commenced, the SDSU team continued to assert dominance. Their defense was particularly impressive, recording four blocks and six steals throughout the game. Pharaoh Compton's presence in the paint was crucial as he helped maintain defensive pressure against Wyoming's offensive efforts.
Despite an aggressive push from Wyoming in which they scored 39 points in this half alone, it wasn't enough to overcome SDSU's strategic play and scoring consistency. The Cowboys struggled with turnovers and were unable to capitalize on fast break opportunities effectively.
Post Game Analysis
