The Wyoming Cowboys trail Hampton 34-26 at halftime Saturday night at the World Vision Challenge at the Arena-Auditorium in Laramie.
UW has never led and trailed by as many as 13.
Junior forward Djibril Thiam leads the Cowboys with 12 points.
Sophomore forward Afam Muojeke, the Cowboys’ leading scorer at 20.3 points per game, didn’t start because of a knee injury but came off the bench and played 14 minutes. However, he had a noticeable limp and wasn’t able to do much other than shoot perimeter shots. He had two points at the break on free throws.
Hampton shot 50 percent from the field, while UW hit 30.4 percent and committed 11 turnovers.
