The Wyoming Cowboys dominated the court, leaving the South Dakota State Jackrabbits in the dust with an 87-72 victory. But here's where it gets controversial: the Cowboys' early lead was largely due to their exceptional shooting accuracy, with a 9-of-10 start from the field. This performance set the tone for the rest of the game, as Wyoming maintained a double-digit lead for most of the first half. However, the Jackrabbits managed to narrow the gap, cutting the lead to single digits just before halftime. The second half saw the Cowboys pull away again, with a strong performance from Nasir (Naz) Meyer, who led the team with 25 points and 10 rebounds. But this is the part most people miss: while the Cowboys' shooting accuracy was impressive, their dominance on the glass was even more striking, with a 38-21 advantage in rebounds. This allowed them to control the pace of the game and maintain their lead. The Cowboys' unselfish play and strong guard performance put pressure on the Jackrabbits early on, and their ability to respond to the Jackrabbits' runs was key to their victory. As the Cowboys head into conference play, they'll be looking to build on this strong start and prove they can win on the road. So, what do you think?
