After losing the first game of the 2017 CBI Championship best-of-three series, Wyoming made an emphatic statement with two blowout wins, including Friday's 83-59 victory, to defeat Coastal Carolina for the title.
This looked like it would be a competitive game early. Coastal Carolina was trailing 20-19 nine minutes into the first half, which turned out to be Wyoming's wake-up call. The Cowboys went on a 22-4 run to take a 19-point lead into halftime.
Even though there was still 20 minutes to play, Wyoming was operating at another level than Coastal Carolina, similar to what happened in Wednesday's 81-57 rout.
