The Saint Mary’s Gaels are the more talented team and should be favored, but the Wyoming Cowboys are a scrappy bunch that can score the ball and do just enough to hang around. While piling up the losses lately, Wyoming has had a lot of its games come down to the wire and a bounce here or there and it’s sitting in a different position. Neutral court, I’ll take a shot with the underdog.
