Luke Martinez added 15 points and Adam Waddell contributed 14 for Wyoming (18-5, 4-3 Mountain West), which won for the fourth time in six games and had its coach beaming afterward.
“There can’t be a coach anywhere that is prouder of how their team has played this season than I am of this group of guys,” said Larry Shyatt. “They executed all the keys that we talked about leading up to this game, and they played with such great energy tonight.”
