Wyoming Cowgirls Set to Face Montana State Bobcats at Worthington Arena in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Wyoming Cowgirls prepare to take on the Montana State Bobcats at Worthington Arena, fans are eager for what promises to be a thrilling encounter in women's basketball. The upcoming game, scheduled for December 17th, is set against a backdrop of recent performances that give us much to consider.
The Cowgirls' last outing on December 10th at the Arena-Auditorium was a tough one. They faced off against Creighton Bluejays and were outscored 61-73. Despite showing resilience with 11 lead changes and tying the game 12 times, their shooting from beyond the arc was lackluster at just 18 percent. However, they did manage an impressive free throw percentage of roughly 79 percent and gathered a total of 40 rebounds.
Earlier in December, on the 3rd, WYO faced Oklahoma State with an outcome that didn't favor them either. Scoring only six points in the first quarter put them at an immediate disadvantage. They ended up losing with a final score of Wyoming's 62 to Oklahoma State's 78. This game highlighted some areas for improvement as they turned over the ball too often and struggled defensively.
However, it wasn't all gloom for WYO; their performance against BYU Cougars on November 29th showcased their potential when they play cohesively as a unit. The Cowgirls dominated with an impressive scoreline of Wyoming's 86 points over BYU’s 74 points. Their field goal percentage stood strong at around 53 percent and they capitalized significantly in paint scoring with an outstanding contribution of nearly half their total points coming from this area.
Looking ahead to their clash with MTST, there are key factors that could determine whether WYO can bounce back from their previous setbacks or if they will succumb once again under pressure. The Cowgirls must tighten up defensively while maintaining efficiency from free throws as demonstrated before; these aspects could be pivotal against Montana State Bobcats who will have home-court advantage.
The Bobcats themselves cannot be underestimated; any team playing before its home crowd is bound to have an extra surge of energy and motivation – something WYO must be prepared for both mentally and physically if they wish to secure victory away from home.
Fans should expect WYO’s coaching staff to have analyzed these past performances meticulously so that come game day, adjustments are made where necessary – particularly focusing on reducing turnovers which had been detrimental in prior games.
Mark your calendars: The showdown between Wyoming Cowgirls and Montana State Bobcats is set for December 17th at Worthington Arena located in Bozeman, MT starting promptly at noon local time (2 PM Eastern Time).
