Wyoming Cowboys Struggle Against Boise State
The University of Wyoming Cowboys faced a challenging game against Boise State, leading 14-11 before experiencing a significant downturn, resulting in a 27-4 scoring run by the Broncos. This led to a 38-18 halftime deficit, ultimately culminating in an 81-65 defeat for Wyoming, marking their fourth consecutive loss and fifth in six games. The Cowboys' record now stands at 11-8 overall and 2-6 in the Mountain West Conference.
Head coach Sundance Wicks noted the stark contrast between the two halves, emphasizing the need for players to take open shots rather than hesitating. Leland Walker emerged as the standout player for Wyoming, scoring a career-high 31 points despite the team's overall shooting struggles, including a mere 23-of-51 from the field and no successful three-pointers in the first half.
Looking ahead, Wyoming will host San Jose State in what Wicks described as a crucial game for both teams. The Cowboys aim to regroup and improve their performance as they continue their season.
