Saturday’s trip to Laramie for the Utah State women’s basketball team didn’t end all that well for the Aggies.
A failure to execute on both sides of the court especially on the defensive end where the team gave up 17 three-pointers resulted in an ugly 79-42 defeat at the hands of Wyoming in the final game of the weekend series. It’s the ninth straight loss for the 4-13 Aggies, who had a promising start to their campaign.
The physical tenacity necessary to slow down the hot-handed Cowgirls was lacking all game long. The Aggie defenders were continually impeded by screens set at the high post to open up shooters and failed to play tight on-ball defense. Both issues resulted in open shots for UW, which took full advantage, shooting 17-32 (53.1 percent) from beyond the arc.
