Opening Tip
• Northern Colorado will have been on for a week and a half when they step onto the court on Saturday, taking the week off for finals.
• UNC made easy work of Northern New Mexico their last time out winning 92-47.Â
• The Bears have a two-game win streak at Wyoming heading into Saturday night's game. UNC became only the third program to win two straight non-conference games at Arena-Auditorium.
• Wyoming comes into the game on a four-game losing streak.Â
Last Time Out
Northern Colorado made it rain from behind the arc against Northern New Mexico making 19 3-pointers on their way to a 92-47 win. Trent Harris led the team with 24 points including making seven shots from downtown.Â
Scouting the Cowboys
Wyoming comes in looking to snap a four-game losing streak, last winning on November 21 against Louisiana. The Cowboys are struggling to score this season averaging just 57.7 points per game, having broke 60 points only three times.
While the offense is struggling, Wyoming's defense is helping keep them in the game limiting opponents to 64.4 points per game.Â
Guard Hunter Maldonado is the only UW player averaging double-figures scoring with his 17.1 points per game. He also leads the team in rebounds (5.9) and assists (3.4).
History Against Wyoming
UNC and Wyoming are long time foes dating back to 1908. While Wyoming holds the overall edge, Northern Colorado has the upper hand recently winning each of the past two games. Since UNC became a Division I program the two programs have met 10 times with Wyoming winning seven of those 10 games.Â
On This Date
December 14 hasn't been the best day for Northern Colorado to play on with a 4-9 record. The last time they played on the date was in 2011 when they lost at home to Denver 71-65. The last win on the date came before anyone on the roster was born in 1991 against Cal State-Los Angeles.Â
What's Ahead?
UNC hosts Denver on Tuesday, December 17 inside Bank of Colorado Arena. Tip-off between the Bears and Pioneers is set for 7 pm.Â
Tickets for the Denver game and all UNC men's basketball games can be purchased at UNCBears.com/Tickets, by calling 970-351-4849 or visiting the UNC Box Office located inside the Campus Commons.Â
