Nevada falls 77-67 to Wyoming behind late Cowboys run

A late run from the Wyoming Cowboys fueled their 77-67 road win over the Nevada Wolf Pack on Monday, now moving to 13-2 to equal their best 15-game start since 2014-15 (when they also started 13-2; they ended 25-10).

Nevada trailed by just two with 8:12 remaining. The game subsequently slipped away from the Wolf Pack, who were playing the final of its three-games-in-six-days stretch after its originally-scheduled contest against the Pokes was postponed on Jan. 4.

Wyoming opened the flood gates with an 11-1 run — spearheaded by forwards Hunter Thompson and Graham Ike — to go up 12 with 4:30 remaining.
