Cow­boys nar­rowly edge out Loy­ola Marymount

The Wyoming Cow­boys (3−4) faced the Loy­ola Mary­mount Lions (3−5) Sat­ur­day night in the Arena Audi­to­rium. Both teams had lost two out of their last three games and both teams were hun­gry for a much-needed victory.

The Cow­boys won their last game, against Pep­per­dine, in over­time 86–82 last Sun­day. The Lions also won their last game 91–72 against Acad­emy of Art Uni­ver­sity on Wednes­day. Wyoming started the game look­ing a lit­tle lethar­gic with­out their lead­ing scorer, Afam Muo­jeke, who may return next week.

In the open­ing min­utes, the Pokes shot errat­i­cally and were utterly dom­i­nated on the boards. Some­how, the Cow­boys big men were dom­i­nated by smaller Lions play­ers in the paint. The Cow­boys did much bet­ter at the line then they had ear­lier in the sea­son which was the rea­son they stayed in the game despite a poor shoot­ing per­cent­age from the floor. Wyoming slowly started to pull away from Loy­ola Mary­mount after a severe tongue-lashing from Coach Schroyer dur­ing a time­out inside the four minute mark. After Schroyer got his big men fired up, they finally started to rebound and pull away from Loy­ola Mary­mount before half­time. … Con­tinue Reading
