Can the Cowboys Lasso the Wolf Pack at Lawlor Events Center?
As the Wyoming Cowboys prepare to face off against the Nevada Wolf Pack at Lawlor Events Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The upcoming clash, scheduled for February 21st, promises to be a thrilling encounter in Reno.
Analyzing past games reveals a mixed bag for the Cowboys. In their last game against UTEP Miners, they put up a valiant effort but fell short with 67 points compared to UTEP's 78. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, an impressive free throw percentage of 88 and securing 35 rebounds. However, turnovers were an issue as they recorded 16 in total which translated into only nine points off turnovers.
In contrast, during their semifinal game against South Dakota State Jackrabbits, the Cowboys emerged victorious with a score of 78-65. They showcased balanced offensive firepower with a field goal percentage of 51 and converted half of their three-point attempts. Their rebounding was dominant as well with a total of 43 rebounds and an assist-to-turnover ratio that improved to 0.85.
However, consistency remains elusive as evidenced by another loss against Weber State Wildcats where they scored less (71) while allowing more points (84). Although they maintained strong two-point (54 percent) and free throw percentages (80 percent), turnovers continued to plague them with ten recorded.
The venue could play a significant role in this matchup; playing away from home always presents additional challenges such as unfamiliarity with the court and crowd influence favoring Nevada.
Fans can catch all the action on CBS Sports Network channel 221 or attend in person at Lawlor Events Center on February 21st at what is sure to be an exciting contest between these two teams.
