Colorado State didn’t know what hit it Saturday, and before the Rams awoke from their afternoon slumber, they were down 14-0 to rival Wyoming just 5:40 into the game.
CSU played the Cowboys relatively even the rest of the way, but was never able to dig itself out of that early hole, losing 84-66 in front of an orange-clad crowd at Moby Arena. The loss was CSU’s third in a row, and also its fifth in a row to Wyoming, who has had the Rams’ number the last two-plus years.
Wyoming senior guard Josh Adams lit up CSU for the second time this season, nearly tying a career high with 37 points, with 18 of those coming in a first half where the Cowboys as a whole shot 52 percent from the field and connected on 8 of 18 3-pointers.
