Why Boise State Will Win
There are few places in the country that are more difficult to scratch out a road win in than Laramie, Wyoming. On Saturday, the Cowboys host a Boise State group that is morphing into the league favorites. Boise State has won nine of its last ten games, and with a win Saturday, would move to 4-0 in league play. Wyoming’s Justin James and Boise State’s Chandler Hutchison will be one of the better individual matchups of the season. Both players are high usage offensive players who can shoot, drive, rebound, and play solid defense. It’s hard to envision this game being anything besides a one or two-possession game in the final minutes. Boise State does just enough to pick up a massive road win to keep its undefeated conference record in place.
