Wyoming opened the game with a 49-28 first‑half lead, hitting seven three‑pointers and keeping Nevada off the board for the first three minutes of the second half. Nevada’s offense stalled early, with only a floater by Corey Camper Jr. breaking a three‑minute drought.
Wyoming’s offense was efficient, shooting 42% from the field and 33% from beyond the arc, while Nevada shot 6‑11 from the free‑throw line. Elijah Price led Nevada with 20 points on 6‑8 shooting, but the Cowboys’ depth and early momentum proved decisive.
