The Cowboys got off to a slow start before building a solid 9 point lead at the half. It’s a lead they wouldn’t relinquish, but it did dip as low as 4 before the Cowboys reasserted control and finished strong against a short-handed Wildcats team.
As the title says, taking care of business is the best way to describe this game. The Wildcats had 8 players available to play this game, and only 6 of those were scholarship players. Add that to a Wildcat squad that already has struggled to a 5-7 (1-3) record coming into the day, and really the Cowboys just did what they needed to do.
