Can Wyoming Cowboys Ride Past Boise State Broncos at Arena-Auditorium?

As the Wyoming Cowboys prepare to host the Boise State Broncos at Arena-Auditorium, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent string of performances that have left much to be desired. With the upcoming game scheduled for February 24th, let's delve into what could unfold on the court.

The last time Wyoming took to their home court on February 7th against New Mexico Lobos, they fell short with a final score of 73-91. Despite scoring an impressive 48 points in the second half, it wasn't enough to overcome the Lobos' offensive onslaught. The Cowboys shot 40 percent from the field and a concerning 23 percent from beyond the arc. Their free throw percentage stood at a decent 68 percent but paled in comparison to their opponents' accuracy.

In contrast, during an away game on January 31st against Air Force Falcons, WYO showcased what they're capable of when things click into place. They secured an encouraging win with an impressive scoreline of 83-72. The team's field goal percentage was a robust 56 percent and they were particularly lethal from three-point range, hitting an outstanding 63 percent of their shots.

However, consistency has been elusive for WYO this season as evidenced by another away game on February 4th against UNLV Runnin' Rebels where they managed only a meager total of just two fast break points and turned over the ball fourteen times which contributed significantly to their defeat with a scoreline reading just 48-62 in favor of UNLV.

The Broncos are not opponents that can be taken lightly; they come into this matchup having displayed solid defensive prowess in past games and will look to exploit any turnovers or shooting woes that have plagued WYO recently.

For Wyoming fans hoping for victory at home, there is reason for cautious optimism given how well WYO played against Air Force Falcons recently. If they can replicate that level of performance—particularly their three-point shooting—they stand a good chance against BSU. However, it will require them tightening up defensively and being more judicious with possession if they are going to ride past BSU's challenge.

With tip-off set for Saturday evening at Arena-Auditorium in Laramie under Mountain Time Zone conditions conducive for basketball action—the stage is set for what promises to be another thrilling encounter between these two teams. Fans unable or unwilling to brave potential chilly weather conditions can catch all live action via internet broadcast networks like MW Network ensuring no one misses out on witnessing whether WYO can indeed ride past BSU's challenge or if it'll be yet another hurdle too high this season.
