LARAMIE The Wyoming Cowboys ended the regular season in style late Saturday night, shooting a season-high 55.1 percent (27-for-49) from the floor and made 10-of-20 from 3-point range on their way to an 80-69 victory over UNLV.
Both teams shot the ball well on the night as UNLV hit 54 percent (27-for-50) of its shots, but went just 3-of-13 (23 percent) from 3-point range.
UNLV led only once in the game, at 3-2 just over a minute into the game, and committed 17 turnovers, leading to 16 Cowboy points.
LOGAN, Utah With 14:20 left in the second half,
Neemias Queta put his back to the basket and dribbled the ball three times with his left hand.
It was all a set up.
His head cocked to the right, it appeared the 7-footer was blanketed by
Graham Ike and looking for a teammate to cut through the lane for a pass. That wasn t it at all.
Watch this:
That sweet power move gave the Aggies a seven-point lead. It got even worse for the visitors, as Utah State pulled away for the 72-59 victory, keeping its NCAA Tournament dreams alive.
