wyoming + 8-: rare nonconference home @ home matchup four days and half a continent apart for these two teams. cowboys won the first game saturday 93-87 in laramie as two point favorites, but also controlled the pace and the endgame wyoming coach mccain has made no secret of the fact that the cowboys will force the tempo again and make the blazers adjust. even though wyoming is the visitor, with the return from laramie uab is the team that has traveled more the last few days.
uab also has a new element to deal with as cowboys get starting center daaron brown back from suspension tonight. big reason the blazers were able to stay in the game saturday was their eleven offensive rebounds, a number that is sure to shrink with brown in the game. also, uab is a terrible ft shoooting team (58%) while cowboys toss in charity points @ 79%.
finally, in these unique back to back games, coaching and the ability to make adjustments are bound to be a significant factors. in this category, have to give the cowboys and ninth year coach steve mccain the nod over first year blazer coach mike davis. davis was a pretty good recruiter at indiana but his floor coaching was sonambulistic at best and a downright detriment at its worst.
this line call for a double digit wnh for uab to cover, and with all the above gotta believe wyoming is at least in the game at the end.
