FRESNO, Calif. — Fresno State will face Wyoming on Tuesday night in its final home game of the season. It is the second straight year that the Bulldogs will host the Cowboys in its final home contest.
Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. PT at the Save Mart Center and will stream on the Mountain West Network with Paul Loeffler, Marc Q. Jones and Taylor Martinez on the call.
QUICK LOOK
The two sides went to overtime earlier this year in Laramie with the Cowboys winning 83-72.
The Bulldogs are coming off their fifth straight single-digit defeat at home. Three of those have come against team's within two games of the conference lead.
Five of the Bulldogs' seven home games in 2025 have been a one possession game with under two minutes to go in regulation.
Three of the Bulldogs' last four games overall have seen low-scoring affairs with games going down to wire. Regulation scores were 52-51 with UNLV, 61-61 at Air Force and 66-61 with Boise State.
Last time out, Fresno State used its 10th different starting lineup of the season.
Coming off the majority of the season, Brian Amuneke and Jasir Tremble have relished the opportunity to start in recent weeks. Amuneke has averaged 17.5 points per game in his last two while Tremble is at 17.0.
Since back-to-back games with a point, Tremble has averaged 11.2 points during his past six games which includes a pair of 19-point games, his season high.
With a 17-point game on Saturday against Boise State, his seventh double-figure game this season, Amuneke was selected Mountain West Freshman of the Week on Monday.
Fresno State is the only team in the MW with two freshmen averaging at least 6.0 points per game in conference play. Elijah Price is second at 10.4 ppg while Brian Amuneke is third at 9.5 ppg.
Amuneke has recorded seven double-figure games in his last 11 appearances.
Grabbing his seventh double-double of the year on Feb. 15, Elijah Price broke the program's Division I record for most double-doubles in a season by a freshman which was previously held by Paul George (2008-09). He has since recorded his eighth which is tied for the second-most by a freshman in the country this year.
The redshirt freshman also ranks third in the country among freshmen in rebounding (7.9 rpg) and in offensive rebounds (3.03).
BY THE NUMBERS
4.4 - Games have been close at the Save Mart Center in 2025. While 0-5 in their last five home games, the Bulldogs' margin of defeat has been just 4.4 points per game.
8 - Redshirt freshman Elijah Price has totaled seven double-doubles this year. It is the most by a Bulldog freshman, surpassing Paul George who had six during the 2008-09 season.
34.5 - With both making their second and third starts in the past 10 days, the duo of Brian Amuneke and Jasir Tremble have combined to average 34.5 points per game in the last two contests.
WHO'S STARTING TONIGHT?
Lineup changes have been something Fresno State has become all too accustomed to this season. With the Bulldogs' most recent adjustment on March 1, the team has deployed 10 different starting lineups.
Two different lineups were used for seven games each while the other eight have been used between 1-4 games each.
YOUTH ON THE RISE
By moving Brian Amuneke into the starting five on Feb. 22, Fresno State has played its last two games with two freshmen, one redshirt, and one true. In conference play, Elijah Price is averaging 10.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. Those numbers rank 26th, third, fourth and seventh in the league. While Amuneke has not made the starts that Price has, the 18-year-old has blossomed in conference play where he is averaging 9.5 points per game, which ranks 34th in league play. Amuneke is also shooting 44.3% from outside (27-of-61), the ninth-highest clip in the conference. Only three of the nine players ahead of him have more than 20 attempts.
Price and Amuneke are the only freshman teammates to average more than six points in Mountain West games.
