Ike, Maldonado lead Wyoming past Nevada 74-61

Mere days after suffering one of its most painful losses of the season, the Wyoming Cowboys earned the 74-61 win over the Nevada Wolf Pack behind the dominance of its two-headed monster in Graham Ike and Hunter Maldonado on Saturday evening inside Arena Auditorium in Laramie, Wyo.

Ike, in contention for Mountain West player of the Year, and Maldonado accounted for 60.8 percent (45 points) of Wyoming’s scoring production. Ike tallied a team-high 23 points and grabbed 15 rebounds — three shy of tying a season high, earning his 12th double-double of the season — shooting 8-of-15 from the floor and 7-of-10 from the charity stripe.
