Wyoming vs Colorado State Prediction

This is going to be an absolute battle in the Mountain West.

The Wyoming Cowboys are shooting an effective field goal percentage of 54.3 percent while only turning the ball over 16.3 percent of the time. While the Cowboys don't earn a whole lot of offensive rebounds, they make up for it by getting to the line at one of the highest rates in college basketball.

Wyoming is also shooting 57.4 percent from inside the arc and 33.1 percent from deep. The Cowboys still have plenty of capable shooters and blend in around the two stars of the team including Graham Ike and Hunter Maldonado.

Colorado State, on the other hand, should be able to hold Wyoming off the offensive glass but haven't defended at the highest level this season. Opponents are shooting a 50.1 percent effective field goal percentage against the Rams and are hitting 33.4 percent from deep along with 50 percent from inside the arc.

However, offensively, the Rams have been elite. Colorado State is shooting an effective field goal percentage of 55.8 percent while only turning the ball over 14.6 percent of the time. Like Wyoming, offensive rebounds will be hard to come by, but the Rams are still shooting 36.4 percent from deep and 56.5 percent from inside the arc.

Plus, when Colorado State gets to the line, the Rams are nearly automatic, hitting 78.8 percent of foul shots.

Still, Wyoming has held opponents to just 29.4 percent from deep and 49.3 percent from inside, while limiting foul shots and dominating the defensive glass.

The first game went to overtime between these two teams. You'd like to think that this game will be close too. So I'll take Wyoming +6 here.
