The Wyoming Cowboys and the Colorado State Rams meet in college basketball action from the Moby Arena on Wednesday night.
The Wyoming Cowboys will look to build on a 75-67 win over Air Force in their last game. Graham Ike leads the Cowboys in scoring and rebounding with 21.1 PPG along with 9.4 RPG while Hunter Maldonado has 19.6 PPG with 5.4 RPG and a team-high 6.3 APG as well this season. Drake Jeffries has 10.3 PPG with 5.3 RPG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for Wyoming up to this point in the season while Xavier DuSell and Jeremiah Oden each have 8 PPG as well. As a team, Wyoming is averaging 75.7 PPG on 47.9% shooting from the field, 34.8% from three and 72.7% from the foul line while allowing 65.9 PPG on 41.7% shooting from the field and 29.6% from three this season.
The Colorado State Rams will try to bounce back from a 72-51 loss to UNLV last time out. David Roddy leads the Rams in scoring and rebounding with 19.4 PPG and 7.5 RPG while Isaiah Stevens has 15.2 PPG and a team-high 4.9 APG this season. John Tonje has 10.2 PPG and 3 RPG as well to finish off the scoring in double figures for Colorado State so far this season. As a team, Colorado State is averaging 76.1 PPG on 49% shooting from the field, 36.5% from three and 78.8% from the foul line while allowing 67.2 PPG on 42.7% shooting from the field and 33.6% from three this season.
Wyoming is 28-10 ATS in their last 38 road games and 20-9-2 ATS in their last 31 games overall while the under is 6-0 in their last 6 road games against a team with a winning home record. Colorado State is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games and 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss while the under is 13-5 in their last 18 games overall.
I get the case to be made for Colorado State being favored at home, but we’re getting points with arguably the team to beat in the Mountain West in Wyoming. Colorado State’s been vulnerable and did not look good whatsoever against UNLV last time out. I’ll gladly take the points with Wyoming here.
