It looked like the Fresno State men’s basketball team was losing Wednesday’s game at the Save Mart Center after Wyoming came back from a double-digit deficit. The Cowboys were up by two in the final two minutes.
But when Bulldog guard Jemarl Baker subbed in, he backed down a Cowboy defender in the paint for an easy bucket to tie the game. Although Wyoming responded with another layup to regain the lead, Baker hit a crucial 3-pointer to get the Bulldogs ahead in the final minute of the game.
Fresno State fans cheered because they knew it was over by that point as the ‘Dogs walked away with a 58-53 victory over the Cowboys in the Mountain West Conference play opener.
