Wyoming Cowboys Square Off Against Fresno State Bulldogs at Arena-Auditorium in Men's Basketball
As the Wyoming Cowboys prepare to host the Fresno State Bulldogs at the Arena-Auditorium, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent performance trends. The upcoming game, set in Laramie's high-altitude venue, could provide a home-court advantage that has historically benefited teams accustomed to playing in such conditions.
Looking back at the Cowboys' past performances provides insights into what fans might expect. In their last game against UTEP Miners, despite a strong free-throw percentage of 88 percent and outrebounding their opponents with 35 total rebounds, they fell short with a final score of 67-78. A concerning statistic was their three-point shooting percentage which stood at only 23 percent.
However, hope springs from the previous matchup against South Dakota State Jackrabbits where they emerged victorious with a score of 78-65. Their field goal percentage was an impressive 51 percent and they excelled beyond the arc hitting half of their three-point attempts. Additionally, they dominated on defense with 43 rebounds and maintained a positive assist-to-turnover ratio.
In contrast to these mixed results was their encounter with Weber State Wildcats where despite shooting efficiently from both two-point range (54 percent) and three-point range (39 percent), they were outscored leading to a loss of 71-84. This game highlighted an area for improvement as points off turnovers were only at 13 compared to Weber State's higher conversion rate.
The Wyoming Cowboys will need to capitalize on their strong shooting skills while tightening up defensively against turnovers if they want to secure another win for this season. Fans should look forward to seeing how Coach Linder strategizes around these analytics for better ball control and defensive pressure.
Mark your calendars for January 13th when the action unfolds at Arena-Auditorium starting at 21:00 UTC. The game will be broadcasted on MW Network available via internet streaming platforms for those who cannot attend in person but wish not miss any part of this exciting match-up.
