The Wyoming Cowboys (3-4) host the Loyola Marymount Lions (3-5) tonight at 7pm MST. The Pokes should well rested after having five days off after playing four games in five days. The Cowboys dropped three of those four games with the only win coming over the Pepperdine Waves on Sunday.
The Cowboys have struggled of offense without F Afam Muojeke the teams leading scorer (17 pts) who has been out with a knee injury. Muojeke is likely to miss tonight's game as well. G A.J. Davis has stepped up nicely for the Pokes putting up 20, 18 and 19 points in three of the last four games.
Loyola Marmount is led by 6-7 sophomore Drew Vinney and his 18.6 points a game. The Oregon transfer has been shooting lights out so far this season and is hitting 54% of his 3pt shots. 6-10 Edgar Garibay pulls down over 6 rebounds a game in 23 minutes but has struggled with foul trouble.
The Lions and Cowboys have both faced Boise State this season. The Cowboys won 87-61 while the Lions lost 87-90 in their season opener.
