Colorado State unable to pick up win in overtime
LARAMIE, Wyo. – Rivalry games produce great atmospheres and sometimes unseen moments. Saturday was one of those as Colorado State fell to Wyoming 79-76 in overtime.
A series of unfortunate events let the game reach the extra five-minute period as CSU went ahead by 11 with 1:11 remaining. Four made Wyoming baskets, three free throws and two offensive rebounds plus a CSU turnover and a pair of missed free throws helped the Cowboys force overtime.
It was a Mason Walters layup as time expired that forced the overtime.
In the extra period, CSU built a four-point lead, but again was unable to close as Wyoming finished with a 9-2 run.
Colorado State had built its lead in the second half thanks to its defense holding Wyoming without a made field goal for 8:23 as they only scored five points in that span.
