Wyoming Cowboys Lock Horns with Boise State Broncos at Arena-Auditorium

As the Wyoming Cowboys prepare to host the Boise State Broncos, fans are eager to see if their team can turn around recent trends and secure a victory on their home court. The upcoming clash will take place at the Arena-Auditorium, a venue where the Cowboys have had mixed results.

Looking back at their last three games, the Cowboys' performance has been inconsistent. In their most recent game against New Mexico's Lobos, they fell short despite a strong second-half surge, scoring 48 points compared to 25 in the first half. However, they were outrebounded by a significant margin of 51 to 35 and shot only 23 percent from beyond the arc.


In an away game against UNLV's Runnin' Rebels, Wyoming struggled offensively with just 48 points and an assist-turnover ratio of merely 0.75. Their shooting from distance was particularly concerning as they made only four out of twenty-five attempts from three-point range.

However, there is a silver lining when looking at their performance against Air Force's Falcons where they notched up an impressive win with high shooting percentages across the board – including an outstanding 63 percent from three-point land – and maintained a solid assist-turnover ratio of two.


The upcoming game presents another opportunity for Wyoming to capitalize on its strengths while addressing weaknesses shown in previous outings. Rebounding has been one area requiring attention; consistently securing more boards could prove pivotal in controlling the game's pace and limiting opponents' second-chance points.

Fans can expect a battle as both teams vie for dominance on February 25th at Arena-Auditorium in Laramie. With tip-off scheduled for Mountain Time Zone residents at half-past six in the evening local time (00:30 UTC), supporters should mark their calendars for what promises to be an engaging contest broadcasted over MW Network online platforms.
