The Cowboys are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games and 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games overall. The Cardinal are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games and 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The over is 3-1-1 in Cowboys last 5 overall. The over is 4-1 in Cardinal last 5 overall.
The Stanford Cardinal are the more battle tested team here, and they’re from the better conference, so they’ll likely get the edge overall. However, the Wyoming Cowboys will have the best player on the court, they’re better offensively, and they’ve been covering machines dating back to last season. Wyoming isn’t getting much respect for whatever reason. I’ll side with the Cowboys in this toss up.
