Fresno State Bulldogs at Wyoming Cowboys ATS Odds
Both teams lost in their last game. The Cowboys got blown out by the Boise State Broncos, 77-52, while the Bulldogs were beaten by the Colorado State Rams, 74-65.
Fresno State held Colorado State to an offensive rebounding percentage of 20.0 (below the 26.2 mark opponents have averaged against Fresno State this season) while Wyoming did a terrific job of making free throws (16-21; 76.2 percent). Hunter Thompson had a good outing for Wyoming with 19 points. Meanwhile, Fresno State was led by Deshon Taylor, who finished with 24 points, seven assists and six rebounds.
This was a highly contested series last year. Each won one of the two games played against each other last season. In the last game, the Cowboys won 78-68. Getting to the free throw line was one of Wyoming’s biggest advantages. They had 25 free throw attempts, while Fresno State had just 14. This will be the first contest of the year between these two teams.
The ineffective offense of Wyoming (334th in the nation with an offensive efficiency of 93.3) will go head-to-head against the stingy defense of Fresno State (46th in the country with a defensive efficiency of 95.5). The Bulldogs should have the advantage on that end of the court.
