Boise State hurt the Cowboys with offensive rebounds in the second half Tuesday night as the Broncos extended their winning streak over Wyoming to eight with a 72-62 victory.
Wyoming got off to a fast start, but the Broncos went on a 9-0 run at the end of the first frame to take a two point, 32-30, lead into the locker room at the break. Boise State started the second half with a 10-3 run and kept Wyoming at bay the rest of the night.
Sophomore guard Demarion Dennis led the Cowboys with 16 points.
