Wyoming minus-3 vs. Marshall: $440 to win $400
The Cowboys and Thundering Herd are meeting in the Global Sports Classic at Cox Pavilion. The other semifinal game is Grand Canyon vs. Houston, so I’m guessing some (or all of the) good seats are still available.
I generally don’t trust Wyoming away from home, especially with how one-dimensional it is this season, but I think that one dimension is going to have a big game tonight. Senior guard Josh Adams dominates the ball like few players in basketball, controlling 35.2 percent of Wyoming’s possessions and taking 34.2 percent of its shots when he’s on the floor. Those figures rank seventh and 14th in the country, respectively.
So, basically, if Adams struggles, so do the Cowboys. Good thing that won’t be an issue tonight against a defense that gives up a high 3-point percentage and a lot of second-chance opportunities.
