Published Jan 11, 2011

The Horned Frogs will look to end their four-game losing streak against conference opponent Wyoming(8-8, 1-1 MWC) at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

Although Wyoming is entering the game on a high, the Frogs(9-8, 0-2 Mountain West Conference) are determined to make their way back into the win column.
