Wyoming Cowgirls Set to Battle Fresno State Bulldogs at Save Mart Center
As the Wyoming Cowgirls prepare to face off against the Fresno State Bulldogs at the Save Mart Center, fans are eager for insights into how their team might perform. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 27th, promises to be a challenging contest for the Cowgirls.
Looking back at recent performances, there's a mix of concern and optimism in the air. On December 22nd, Wyoming faced a tough loss against Eastern Washington Eagles with a score of 43-62. Despite shooting 50 percent from two-point range and grabbing 31 rebounds, turnovers were their Achilles' heel; they gave up possession an alarming 20 times which translated into just six points off turnovers compared to Eastern Washington's dominant 23.
However, redemption came swiftly on December 21st when they hosted Wright State Raiders and emerged victorious with an impressive scoreline of 71-61. Their field goal percentage was stellar at approximately 53 percent and they dominated inside with an astounding total of 42 points in paint. Moreover, their rebounding was formidable as they collected a total of 45 rebounds – showing clear signs that when they control the boards and maintain possession, they can dominate games.
The Cowgirls' resilience was further tested on December 17th against Montana State Bobcats where despite falling short by nine points (55-64), there were positive takeaways. They managed to improve their three-point shooting to roughly a respectable rate of around32 percent while also maintaining strong defensive pressure with ten steals.
The key takeaway from these past games is consistency – both in terms of reducing turnovers and maintaining defensive intensity throughout all four quarters. The Cowgirls have shown that when these elements align, they're capable of overpowering opponents through sheer determination and teamwork.
Against Fresno State Bulldogs who will have home-court advantage this time around, it's crucial for WYO to focus on ball security while exploiting any weaknesses in FRES's defense especially within the paint where WYO has proven strength. Fans should expect an intense battle where every possession will count; if WYO can keep turnovers low while maximizing scoring opportunities particularly from close range shots which have been effective for them recently - victory is certainly within reach.
