The Wyoming Cowboys are one of the hottest mid-major teams in the country, and are 7-1 in Mountain West play this season. They avenged their only loss of the year when they took down Boise State, 72-65, in their last game out.

They have another tough test in front of them tonight when they hit the road to face the Fresno State Bulldogs, who are 6-3 in conference play and are coming off a big 73-56 win against Nevada. This is the first of two meeting between these teams this season.

Wyoming vs. Fresno State Prediction and Pick

I've been riding the Wyoming train lately, and I'm not ready to jump off it yet.

Fresno State has a slight defensive advantage, ranking 22nd in defensive efficiency compared to Wyoming at 92nd, but the Cowboys can attack the Bulldogs on the perimeter. Wyoming is a solid three-point shooting team, hitting at 34.5% from beyond the arc this season. Now they face a Fresno State team who struggles defending the three. 35.7% of points scored against the Bulldogs this season come from three-point land, which ranks 304th in the country.

Wyoming, as a whole, is the better team offensively. The Cowboys rank 22nd in effective field goal percentage, while the Bulldogs rank 112th.

I lean towards Wyoming as a road underdog in this one.

LEAN: Wyoming +2.5 (-110)
