Luke Martinez added a 3-pointer and Francisco Cruz’s free throw with 7:14 left gave the Cowboys a 52-39 advantage.

Colorado (5-4) cut the deficit to 56-51 on Andre Roberson’s layup with 2:01 to play but could get no closer en route to its fifth straight loss to Wyoming.

The Cowboys have held all 10 of their opponents to less than 60 points this season and entered the game allowing 49.4 points per game, third in the nation.

Leonard Washington had 16 points and seven rebounds, and Martinez added 14 points, six rebounds and five steals.
