AKRON, Ohio (AP) - Uche Nsonwu-Amadi scored 16 points and Ugo Udezue added 14 points and 11 rebounds as Wyoming beat Akron 81-73 Saturday. Marcus Bailey scored 12, Chris McMillian 11 and Josh Davis 10 for Wyoming (8-2), which used a 19-4 run late in the first half to break the game open. Bailey had seven points and Nsonwu-Amadi and McFall scored five each during the 5:01 surge, which put the Cowboys ahead 40-22 with 2:38 remaining. Nsonwu-Amadi started the run with a dunk and followed a turnover with a three-point play. McFall scored on a 3-pointer and a layup and Bailey hit two free throws, a layup and a 3.
