The Wyoming Cowboys came out hot on Saturday night inside the Arena Auditorium in a 68-57 buzzer-to-buzzer Border War win over CSU.
Junior guard Khaden Bennet started the game with back-to-back three-point buckets and the Cowboys never trailed. Bennet finished the night with a double-double in front of nearly 6,400 Wyoming fans.
Cowboys Head Coach Sundance Wicks described the Wyoming home crowd as inspiring.
Bennet opened the game with three three-point shots in the first four minutes. #3 recorded a season-high 22 points and tied a season-high with 10 rebounds for Wyoming’s first double-double of the season. He also hit a career-high six three-pointers tying a season best for a Cowboy. He also added three steals in the contest.
Coach Wicks summed it up this way:
Bennet, whose dad was inside the Arena Auditorium Saturday night described his night as being in a Zen-like bubble—in the zone all night long.
The Pokes return to action on Tuesday with a trip to San Diego State in a contest slated for a 9 p.m. Mountain Time start.
Leland Walker added 10 points and a team-high four helpers. Adam Harakow added nine points and five rebounds.
