JMac carried us this game. We better have a solid home game Wednesday because this team is going to have a lot of momentum.

Not going to blame anything on the refs but wow some serious traveling going on and nothing getting called.

We get a few calls, and a couple D rebounds this game goes down to last couple possessions.

We get a few calls and we win that game going away.

I think Wyoming needs to find a coach that can teach these kids how to rebound. f-word....they just don't want the boards as bad as the opposing team. And I love Adam's athleticism, but he needs to start looking at passing the ball on those drives, instead of just lowering a shoulder and going balls out for the hoop. There's a lot to like about this team, but there's a lot of work to be done.

This game boils down to a lack of rebounding by Wyoming and turning the ball over mostly in the first half. This lack of rebounding drives me crazy. We basically let them shoot until they made it - we were mostly one and done on our shots. We could have won this game.
Possessions are very valuable. How many possessions did we give up due to lack of rebounding and turnovers?

Good things happen when we penetrate. Unfortunately they are having their way with us via their penetration.

Pretty much this. Our guards are dog poop. They don't get penetration and they allow penetration every time. It comical to try to watch Lieberman and McMannamen try to stop someone off the dribble. Anyone who actually thinks Lieberman is a good defender is insane. I like Lieberman's limited offensive game better than what he brings on defense.

Our poor rebounding starts with Lieberman, Gorski, and McMannamen letting their guys waltz into the lane. 2-3 guys help and that leaves no one to get a board. Lieberman and JMac sure as poop aren't getting that board.

We are not going to do jack poop as a program until we get some real guards (I'm not talking about James and Adams, I'm talking quick little guards that are supposed to be able to penetrate, dish and shoot).

Herndon is the worst perpetrator. I have not seen a worse rebounder for their height. Seriously how can he be such a gifted shot blocker and such a terrible rebounder?

we were saving up for two home wins come Weds and Friday....

CCU missed 38 shots

they had 18 offensive rebounds

that is nearly 50% of their misses which they ended up getting a rebound on

that is unacceptable

Yes and yes. IMO, allowing penetration is the main problem and has been all year. Defensive rebounding is second, but that item seems to be a recent development. I couldn't get video of the game, but unless the altitude is a factor, I see the Pokes going down Wed.

I think we'll get them here in Laramie. We played about as poorly as we were capable of and still were withing 5 or six with 5 min to go.

Probably because he feels the need to limp around wincing and pretend he just got shot with even the slightest contact. It might be the one thing that annoys me most about this team, win or lose.

Teams know he's soft by his body language and will attack him and jump over him. And then Herndon will just stand there with his arms over his head like he just ran a marathon.

better hit the boards much, much better, as that's all Kevin was commenting on the radio yesterday, don't think that just cuz 7220 is better, don't sleep on this team!!!! it's way cool Mar. 29 and still playing a game at the AA,,GET IT DONE POKES

[SDPokeFan]

What about that since Jan. 1, this team has given up almost 80 ppg defensively? Defense, or lack thereof, has not helped anything.

Our whole team is soft. We have no "Hankerson" or "Cooke" on this team, not even close. We look like a bunch of skinny kitty out there. Our S&C program is a GD joke.

T minus 3 hours and counting, I'm stoked can you tell!!!! Mar. 29 and UW is still playing amongst 12 D1 schools left, get it done and it'll be 10 teams left CIT tourney tonight goes to final 2

[laxwyo]

Lander is right, poor rebounding is due to the guy who should be rebounding sliding over to help because we allowed penetration.
