Can the Wyoming Cowboys Rebound After Falling to Weber State Wildcats at Home?

The Wyoming Cowboys, with a record of 0-1, faced off against the Weber State Wildcats, also at 0-1. The final score read 84-71 in favor of the visiting team.

In a game that saw both teams eager to notch their first victory of the season, it was the Wildcats who emerged victorious on the Cowboys' home turf at Arena-Auditorium. Despite a valiant effort by Wyoming, they were unable to contain Weber State's offensive onslaught. The Wildcats shot an impressive 56 percent from the field and were perfect from the free-throw line with a remarkable 100 percent accuracy.

The Cowboys showed resilience in their play but struggled to keep pace with their opponents' scoring efficiency. They managed to convert 54 percent of their two-point attempts and hit seven three-pointers at a rate of 39 percent. However, this was overshadowed by Weber State's sharpshooting which included converting seven out of fifteen attempts from beyond the arc.

Wyoming's defense managed one block and four steals but could not significantly disrupt Weber State's rhythm as they dished out sixteen assists over Wyoming’s eight. The home team also committed more personal fouls than their counterparts (16 compared to 15), which may have contributed to their inability to gain momentum during critical stretches of play.

Offensively for Wyoming, points in paint totaled thirty-four while second-chance points were limited to six due largely in part to being outrebounded by four boards overall – twenty-five rebounds for Wyoming against twenty-nine for Weber State.

The turnovers told another part of this story; although both teams had similar numbers (ten for Wyoming and nine for Weber), it was how each capitalized on these opportunities that made a difference. The Wildcats scored eleven points off turnovers while limiting the Cowboys just slightly more with thirteen points off turnovers themselves.

Looking ahead after this setback, fans can mark their calendars as the next challenge awaits when South Dakota State Jackrabbits visit Arena-Auditorium on December 20th at Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas. This upcoming game is scheduled for a tip-off time at 5:00 PM Mountain Time Zone and will be available for viewing on YouTube as per broadcast networks information provided.
