Wyoming Cowboys Set to Defend Home Court Against Air Force Falcons in Arena-Auditorium Showdown

The Cowboys have had a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against Nevada's Wolf Pack, they struggled, scoring only 58 points and succumbing to a 76-point onslaught from the opposition. Their field goal percentage was just 42 percent and three-point attempts were even less successful at 26 percent. This loss highlighted areas where improvement is needed, particularly in offensive consistency and ball handling, as evidenced by their low assists-to-turnover ratio of 0.6.


However, not all recent performances have been lackluster for Wyoming. They managed an impressive win over San Jose State's Spartans with an 80-point finish and a more robust shooting accuracy — hitting 52 percent from the field and an excellent free-throw percentage at around 80 percent. Their three-point shooting also saw a significant uptick at approximately 44 percent.


The last home game for Wyoming against Utah State's Aggies showed resilience despite falling short by eight points in an intense matchup that ended with a scoreline of 76-84. The Cowboys showcased improved ball distribution with assists on thirteen occasions but will need to tighten up defensively after allowing the Aggies to shoot over half their attempts successfully.


With these trends in mind, it is clear that consistency is key for Wyoming as they face off against Air Force Falcons on home turf. Fans can expect a determined effort from the Cowboys as they look to capitalize on strong shooting performances while addressing weaknesses seen in past games.


For those looking forward to catching this encounter live, tune into MW Network online on March 5th at precisely half-past six in the evening Mountain Time Zone (18:30 MT). The Arena-Auditorium will be buzzing with anticipation as fans rally behind Wyoming hoping for victory within these familiar walls.
