A for effort
Moral victories mean very little in sports; it's still a loss whether it is by 51 points or by one point.
Wednesday night's 90-85 overtime defeat to Utah State in Logan, Utah, should count for something positive.
Despite the defeat, this was possibly the first time this season that the Cowboys showed a little moxy against a quality opponent. It was easily the first time in a while.
Winning at Utah State has not been easy as of late, and the Cowboys showed that they have the ability and the heart to win a game like this in unfriendly territory. Now, they just have to just win these type of games. Of their three losses this season, two have been winnable games.
Wednesday's tough defeat came against a very good team on the road. Much has been said of Wyoming's weak preseason schedule, but by no means can this game be lumped into that.
The non conference is built for a team to get better by conference season and now is the time for the Cowboys. Wyoming opens Mountain West Conference play Saturday at Utah.
Maybe Wednesday's effort taught the Cowboys a lesson. If they repeat this type of effort on Saturday, much will be learned.
