Men's basketball: Wyoming’s style befuddles Lobos

Sophomore guard/forward Sam Logwood stands on the sideline and waits to put the ball in play Saturday, Jan. 16, 2016 at WisePies Arena. The Lobos lost to Wyoming 70-68.

Slow tempo? What slow tempo?

Wyoming head coach Larry Shyatt posed that question after the Cowboys’ 70-68 victory over New Mexico Saturday at WisePies Arena.

Over the years, Shyatt’s Wyoming squads have developed the reputation that they slow down the game, exhaust the shot clock and frustrate offensive-minded opponents with ugly play. Yet Shyatt’s best player this year, guard Josh Adams, torched the Lobos for a career-high 38 points.
