Wyoming 79, Colorado State 76 (OT)

Sam Griffin scored 24 points to lead the host Cowboys (11-9, 4-3 Mountain West), who trailed by 11 points with 1:11 remaining in regulation.

Isaiah Stevens finished with 17 points and nine assists, Patrick Cartier added 19 points and Nique Clifford added 13 points and 12 rebounds to lead Colorado State (15-5, 3-4).

“Well, I’m not sure what to say. Speechless. I’m not sure what happened,” Wyoming head coach Jeff Linder said. “Looking up in the stands when you’re down 11 with 1:11 left, which I can’t blame the people for starting to turn and leave. Obviously, they missed probably the most special ending in the Border War rivalry.”

Wyoming, which failed to hit a field goal over an eightminute span, rallied late and cut its deficit to 65-63. Walters missed the second of two free throws and the rebound went out of bounds off Colorado State’s Josiah Strong with 1.8 seconds left. Walters scored in the paint at the buzzer to force OT.
