CHD Scout's pre-game prediction had Wyoming winning by 5.2 points, and while the margin was slightly larger than expected, the outcome was spot on. The actual score of 68-57 was a far cry from the predicted 77-72, but the end result was the same: a Wyoming victory.

This upset win has real consequences for both teams' tournament chances. For Wyoming, the victory marks a crucial Q3 win, which will undoubtedly boost their resume. On the other hand, Colorado State suffers a Q2 loss, which may hurt their chances of making a deep postseason run.
