Can the Wyoming Cowgirls be this Saturday's breakthrough team to win a Mountain West conference game that it is not supposed to win?
They'll get that chance at 11 a.m. when they take on TCU in a game that will be broadcast on The Mountain Sports Network.

Carlson is first in blocks, third in scoring and 12th in rebounding while being ranked fourth in field goal percentage and free throw percentage in the Mountain West Conference. Vandiver ranks among the Top 15 in points, rebounds, steals, field goal percentage, three-point field goal percentage and minutes played while Langford is 12th in assists and 14th in scoring.
The Lady Frogs are 18-5 overall and 8-2 in the MWC, while being ranked 24th in the Associated Press poll. They earned a 105-96 four overtime victory over Utah on Wednesday night.
