Wyoming Cowboys Set to Challenge Air Force Falcons at Clune Arena
As the Wyoming Cowboys prepare to face off against the Air Force Falcons at Clune Arena, fans are eager for insights into how their team might fare. The upcoming game is a crucial one for the Cowboys, who have shown a mix of resilience and vulnerability in their recent performances.
In their last game on December 22 against UTEP Miners, the Cowboys fell short with 67 points to the Miners' 78. Despite a strong free throw percentage of 88 percent and securing 35 rebounds, they struggled from beyond the arc with only a 23 percent success rate on three-point attempts. Their assist-to-turnover ratio was low at just over half an assist per turnover, indicating some challenges in ball handling and offensive execution.
However, looking back at their semifinal game on December 21 against South Dakota State Jackrabbits provides a more promising picture. The WYO team clinched victory with an impressive scoreline of 78-65. They demonstrated better control over the ball with an assist-to-turnover ratio close to one and shot an exceptional 50 percent from three-point range.
The most recent home game for WYO against Weber State Wildcats on December 17 showcased both strengths and weaknesses. While they lost with a score of 71-84, they maintained a high field goal percentage of around 49 percent and were successful in making free throws at an efficient rate of 80 percent.
The key takeaway from these past games is that when WYO controls possession effectively and capitalizes on scoring opportunities inside the paint while maintaining solid defense, they can dominate opponents. However, consistency has been elusive for them this season.
Looking ahead to their encounter with AFA at Clune Arena presents both opportunity and challenge. The Falcons will be playing in front of their home crowd which could give them an edge; however, if WYO can replicate some aspects of their performance from December's semifinals – particularly in terms of shooting accuracy – there's every chance they could emerge victorious.
Fans should expect Wyoming Cowboys to come out focused on tightening up defensively while being aggressive offensively right from tip-off time. It will be essential for them not only to maintain strong rebounding but also improve upon converting turnovers into points if they wish to secure a win away from home.
