Why Wyoming Will Win
Cincinnati will present Wyoming’s toughest matchup all season. The Bearcats are physical, play tenacious defense (#2 in adjusted defense efficiency) and are experienced. Assuming Justin James is good to go after receiving stitches after a shot to the mouth in Tuesday’s win over Louisiana-Lafayette, the Cowboys will try to lean on its top scorers in James and Hayden Dalton to attack the Cincy defense. Points will be hard to come by on Wednesday, so any opportunity that Alan Herndon and Dalton can get down low for easy baskets will be huge. A quick start and strong finish is imperative for Wyoming if it wants to pull the upset.
