The heavyweight fight in Boise lived up to expectations with Boise State defeating Wyoming 65-62. Wyoming’s high-octane offense collided with Boise State’s stifling defense in a battle of styles. Both teams wanted to make a statement to the rest of the Mountain West that they are the team to beat as we near the last month of the regular season.
It was a low-scoring affair to start out the game as each team tried to find their rhythm. Wyoming’s Graham Ike was a presence in the paint, but Mladen Armus held his own throughout the first half.
