Falcons end Cowboys season

UW-Air Force game statistics

UW postgame quotes

A rough season came to another disappointing end for the Wyoming Cowboys, as Air Force rolled to a 59-40 win Wednesday in the opening round of the Mountain West Conference tournament at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

The ninth-seeded Falcons (10-20) will face top-seeded and eighth-ranked New Mexico (28-3) on Thursday.

Air Force, which built a 32-21 halftime lead and never trailed in the second half, was led by Grant Parker's 15 points and Michael Lyons' 11.

The eighth-seeded Cowboys (10-21), who got 18 points from freshman Desmar Jackson and 12 from sophomore Adam Waddell, cut their deficit to 47-40 on Waddell's basket with 5 1/2 minutes left. But the Falcons responded with a bucket by Parker and a three-point play by Todd Fletcher that ignited a 12-0 run to end it.
