Cowboys Fall to UCSB
The University of Wyoming men’s basketball team lost to the University of California Santa Barbara 76 – 66 this past Tuesday at the Arena Auditorium in Laramie.
Senior Justin James led the Cowboys with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Sophomore Hunter Maldonado had 12 points and red shirt freshman Hunter Thompson had 10.
“I thought the guys played gritty,” UW head coach Allen Edwards said. “We had opportunities, but at the point where we had just a one-point deficit and we missed a free throw to tie it, after that we started gambling rather than continuing to play solid.”
