Last season, the Wyoming Cowboys demonstrated remarkable accuracy from the free-throw line and within two-point range, boasting a perfect conversion rate. Their true shooting percentage also reflected efficiency in scoring when considering both field goals and free throws. On average, they scored 69 points per game while assisting on 11 baskets and pulling down just over 29 rebounds.


Defensively, they were disciplined yet aggressive, committing an average of nearly 16 personal fouls per game while managing to block over two shots and steal almost five possessions from their opponents each outing. However, ball security was an area that required attention as they averaged over 11 turnovers per game.

The team's ability to make close-range shots was evident with more than 15 two-pointers made per game on average; however, there is room for improvement beyond the arc as three-pointers only accounted for about eight of their total field goals made.


As we look ahead to this matchup, it's crucial for Wyoming fans to consider how these statistics might translate into strategies against Fresno State Bulldogs. The venue could play a significant role in this encounter; playing away from home always presents unique challenges that test a team's adaptability and composure under pressure.
