Wyoming Cowboys Set to Battle UNLV Runnin' Rebels at Thomas & Mack Center in Men's Basketball Showdown

As the Wyoming Cowboys prepare to face off against the UNLV Runnin' Rebels at the Thomas & Mack Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent performance trends. The upcoming game, set in Las Vegas, presents an opportunity for the Cowboys to demonstrate their resilience on the road.

Analyzing past games, it's clear that Wyoming has shown a mixed bag of results. In their most recent encounter with Colorado State Rams, they narrowly edged out a victory with 58 points against 57. This win was characterized by a strong two-point shooting percentage of 55 percent and an equal number of points from turnovers as their opponents.

However, consistency has been challenging for the Cowboys. A previous away game against Air Force Falcons saw them put up a robust 74 points but ultimately fall short as they allowed 82 points. Despite shooting efficiently from both two-point range (63 percent) and three-point range (38 percent), turnovers and defensive lapses proved costly.

In another matchup with Boise State Broncos at home, Wyoming scored 68 points but conceded 85. While they maintained decent field goal percentages (44 percent overall), struggles from the free-throw line (52 percent) and containing opponent's offense were evident.

The upcoming game will test Wyoming's ability to maintain offensive efficiency while tightening up defensively. Fans should look for improvements in turnover management and free-throw accuracy which have been areas of concern in past performances.

The clash between Wyoming Cowboys and UNLV Runnin' Rebels is scheduled for January 25th at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Fans can catch all the action on CBS Sports Network channel 221 starting at midnight Eastern Time (ET).
