Can the Wyoming Cowboys Ride Past the Lobos at The Pit?

As the Wyoming Cowboys prepare to face off against the New Mexico Lobos at The Pit in Albuquerque, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. In their last game, the Cowboys edged out a victory over the Spartans with a 75-73 scoreline. This close contest saw them shooting at 42 percent from the field and an impressive 92 percent from the free-throw line, highlighting their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities.

The previous games have shown some fluctuating performances by Wyoming. Against BYU Cougars, they struggled defensively and were outplayed in almost every statistical category, resulting in a heavy 94-68 loss. However, they bounced back with better control of turnovers and improved shooting percentages.

In another matchup against UTEP Miners, despite showing resilience by improving their second-half performance with a strong 41 points finish compared to just 26 in the first half, it wasn't enough as they fell short with a final score of 67-78. Their free throw accuracy was commendable at 88 percent but was overshadowed by turnovers and lower field goal percentages.

The upcoming game will be challenging as The Pit is known for its raucous atmosphere which could influence player performance. For Wyoming to succeed against New Mexico Lobos on January 7th at CBS Sports Network channel 221 starting at local venue time (US/Mountain), maintaining composure under pressure will be key. Fans can expect an intense battle where execution from beyond the arc and controlling possession will likely determine who comes out on top in this conference showdown.
