Associated Press
GREELEY, Colo. -- Devon Beitzel scored 20 points as Northern Colorado defeated Wyoming for the first time in 73 years, winning 67-53 on Tuesday night.
Chris Kaba added 15 points and eight rebounds for Northern Colorado (1-0). The Bears, coming off their best record in school history at 25-8, had lost 20 consecutive games to Wyoming.
Francisco Cruz had 13 points for Wyoming (1-1), which last lost to the Bears in 1937.
The Cowboys, who still lead the series 49-17, didn't make a field goal until Djibril Thiam's rebound basket nearly eight minutes into the game. Wyoming managed only eight field goals and 35 percent shooting in the first half.

Buzzcut was terrible as usual, though not the worst ref on the court.
We were up 20-2 when Wyo got their first field goal and 31-4 at one point before Buzzcut and crew got about 3 of our key guys in foul trouble.

Weber, It reached to 31-4 at one point, just absolutely astonishing to watch that happen to a big school like Wyoming--regardless of what their record was last year-- that's a team that plans to win a good amount of ball games in a quietly good conference in the Mountain West.
We all knew Coach Hill was a great recruiter. But we wanted to see his ability with gameday coaching or the "X's and O's". And for tonight, he drew up a masterful game plan. Coming into the game tonight, we knew that Wyoming had the distinct height advantage, and the ability to dominate the Bears on the glass and in the paint. So what did Hill do? He ran a 2-3 zone, limiting the Coyotes starting frontcourt of M'Baye (6'9) and Thiam (6'10) to just a combined 10 points on 4-14 shooting and just 8 boards. By running the 2-3 zone, you are forcing them to shoot beyond the arc, and the Cowboys finished last in the MWC last season in three-point percentage. As a result, the Cowboys ended the night putting up 23 threes, and making just six of them. They also had nearly 15 turnovers in the first half, and that was because they would try to force passes into the paint to their big guys, and our quick, athletic defenders would knock it away.
Now, the second half was a different story, we let the boys from Laramie get back into it a little bit. Partly due to some foul trouble, but also because we started to force shots offensively--whether it was in the paint or launching unnecessary three's-- in one stretch, UNC shot a horrifying 3-for-27. And defensively, stopped boxing out a little bit, and let the Cowboys get boards and putbacks. But, it was good to see the team step up after the Cowboys were making that run that had Butler-Hancock have a little bit of an uneasy feeling.
All in all, a great win. This team is a little shorthanded with injuries to Unruh and Svihovec (I somehow spelled that right, I checked it), but they got big time minutes from all of the 8 guys who played a considerable amount of time. Up next is another early test for this team. Not only with Arizona, but Santa Clara, Valparaiso and a TBD all coming during the span of a week.
I think it's always fun when our team plays one of the "big boys" like Arizona. NO ONE believes they can win, so they have nothing to lose. Plus, it will be a bigger atmosphere, which can be nothing but a good experience for the players and coaching staff.
Sure, Arizona probably has the edge in just about every phase of this game on paper. But if we see a Northern Colorado team like the one we saw in the first half tonight--a team that has efficient offensive possessions where they work to find the open man, a team that brings the intensity on defense-- you could see a ball game. Do I think Northern Colorado has a chance to win on Sunday? Yes. Yes, I do.

Wyo is lucky Bietzel was off at times. He could of easily had 35 points !! Wyo fans are still in shock. They are ready to fire their coach and burn down their gym
