The Wyoming Cowboys rallied Saturday for a 93-80 win over Dartmouth after overcoming the flu and other illnesses last week.
Even the UW announcer, Keith Kelley, was in the broadcast booth still not feeling his best. Wyoming was down by one point at the break but roared back down the stretch.

Five Cowboys finished the game in double figures, using 26 points off Dartmouth turnovers to build the lead.
Jared Harris, battling the flu that swept through the team last week, came off the bench and added 11 points in the win. Harding said the Wyoming defense creates energy, adding that he forgot he came in feeling ill.
Guard Leland Walker led the team with 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting.
(Naz) Meyer and Khaden Bennett added 14 points each. Meyer added a career-high eight rebounds and Bennett recorded a career-high five steals, the most by any Wyoming player since 2021.
Head Coach Sundance Wicks talked about the good, the bad, and the ugly but was happy overall with the win.
The 7-2 Cowboys return to action on Tuesday hosting South Dakota for a 6:30 p.m. start in the Arena-Auditorium in the final non-conference home game of the season.
Bigfoot 99 will have the coach’s show Monday evening at 6:07 with Sundance Wicks.
