FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 The Fresno State women’s basketball team exploded with offense in the 4th quarter, helping the Bulldogs pull away from the Wyoming Cowgirls on Saturday, 53-36.<\/p>\n
This was the 1st Mountain West conference win for Fresno State (7-6, 1-1 MW) under head coach Ryan McCarthy, who explained postgame why he wore a Christmas sweater on the bench.<\/p>\n
“All of us coaches lost a bet to Jaisa Gamble, that if she hit a three on some play, and it had to be a swish, then we would show up wearing a Christmas sweater,” McCarthy said. “I have never worn a Christmas sweater for a game in my life. But I pay my debts, so at least you know that.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Fresno State men’s basketball team lost their 2nd half lead over UNLV, dropping the Mountain West opener on the road, 84-72.<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs committed 5 of their 12 turnovers in the final 7 minutes of action. The Runnin’ Rebels outscored them 25-10 during that stretch, thanks to the turnovers and a 19-for-22 night at the free throw line (10\/13 for Fresno).<\/p>\n
The Fresno State men (6-6, 0-1 MW) will look to snap a four-game losing streak on Dec. 30, when they host Utah State at the Save Mart Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO, Calif.
