Cowboys Ride into Fresno: A Showdown at Save Mart Center

As the Wyoming Cowboys prepare to face off against the Fresno State Bulldogs at the Save Mart Center, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent string of mixed performances. The upcoming game, scheduled for March 9th, promises to be an exciting clash in California.

In their last three games, the Cowboys have shown both resilience and areas needing improvement. Against Boise State, they fell short with 72 points to Boise's 92 despite shooting an impressive 50 percent from the field and 60 percent from two-point range. Their rebounding was a concern as they were outdone on the boards with only 19 rebounds compared to Boise State's dominant 43.


The encounter with Nevada's Wolf Pack also ended in defeat for Wyoming, scoring just 58 points against Nevada’s 76. Here too, turnovers were a problem as they gave up possession fifteen times. However, their free-throw accuracy was decent at around 68 percent.


However, it wasn't all gloom for Wyoming; there was a glimmer of hope when they secured an away victory over San Jose State with an assertive scoreline of 80-75. Their field goal percentage stood strong at approximately half of their attempts finding success and three-point shots hitting home at nearly half rate (44 percent).


As we look towards this next game in Fresno, rebounding and ball control will be critical factors that could determine whether or not Wyoming can secure a win on enemy territory. The Bulldogs will undoubtedly aim to capitalize on any Cowboy turnovers and dominate inside.


Wyoming fans should keep an eye on how well their team can protect the rim and maintain possession if they want to leave California victorious.


Be sure not to miss this intriguing matchup; catch it live on March 9th at Save Mart Center or stream via MW Network online for those who cannot make it in person.
