The Boise State men's basketball team had no answers in an 87-61 loss Saturday at Wyoming.

The Broncos (2-2 overall) turned the ball over 23 times against the Cowboys' press.

And when Boise State did get into its offense, it couldn't capitalize. Coach Greg Graham's team went only 2-of-20 from 3-point range and shot 35.7 percent from the field overall.

"We couldn't make a lot of shots and we had way too many turnovers," Graham said. "Hopefully it's a wakeup call for our guys. I thought we'd play better, and I think we're a better team than we showed tonight."

La'Shard Anderson led Boise State with 19 points, while Reggie Arnold scored a career-high 17. BSU had two starters who didn't make a field goal - Paul Noonan (0-of-5 from the field, 2 points) and Anthony Thomas (0-of-3, zero).

Wyoming placed four players in double figures - Djibil Thiam (19) Afam Muojeke (18), Adam Waddell (16) and Desmar Jackson (11).

Ike Okoye, who was playing in Laramie, Wyo., for the first time since transferring from Wyoming, finished with eight points and a team-high seven rebounds.

Kurt Cunningham had three of BSU's season-low nine assists.

The Broncos return to action Tuesday at Eastern Washington and play their first home game Saturday against North Texas.
