This feat deserves its own thread. Not only have we not won in The PIT since many many moons ago, when's the last time you saw one of our Pokes absolutely just take over down there? This might be one of the greatest individual performances by any of Pokes that I've seen play during my fandom. That's not to say he did it alone because he most certainly did not. That my friends was just pure magic! I'm glad I got to sit down and watch it.

Oh lets hear what this "ballhoggin" asshole :roll: :roll: :roll: (that was maybe the most ridiculous comment I've read on here btw..which is saying a LOT) had to say after crying for losing the last game against SJSU.

"We took a tough one at San Jose but we got a great one here at the Pit, where it's not easy to win," Adams said. "I just like the win. I don't think it can get much better regardless of whether I have 11 points like I did against UNLV or 38 like I had here, as long as I get to share it with this team."

Yep one of the GREATEST COWBOYS EVA!!! Thanks for the memories Josh can't wait to see how your fire propels this team again and again this season. Dude's looking like he's NBA bound. I hope he gets back in the dance one more time to show the nation what he's about.

Interestingly, we have had a couple of incredible individual performances in The Pit through the years.

In addition to Adams, Donta Richardson had 39 the last time we won there and Mo Alexander had 49 one time in the early 90's. That was the most I ever remember a Wyoming player scoring.

Thanks for the info Nowhere. I think I can barely remember that Donta game now that you mention it. Only some of the early 90's teams barely as a youngin barely getting into hoops. I've seen us in some all out wars down there for sure. It's been awhile since I've thought "hey we could win this" down there. I had us penciled for a loss yesterday too, but who would've guessed Adams was going into Berserker mode. The WHOLE team us awesome and Shy's older vets really helped to steady that ship. Our D was awesome!! Still Josh Adams thanks again man. You will be missed bro :king: :king: :king: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

The same thing that makes me angry at times is the same reason I love him. That last minute in San Jose by him was one of the worst collapses I have seen on offense. Then to rebound like he did vs NM is very telling on his competitiveness.

The Mo Alexander game was against New Mexico, but it was in Laramie and we lost.

Yes it was and yes we did. No defense! I was there.

I was, too. After about the middle of the 1st half, Mo would take the ball up the court and jack a long three, and he made a bunch of them. Our possessions were about 10 to 15 seconds long, it seemed. Some complained about him being selfish, but he was making the shots. They should have complained about the D.

Sounds like that CSU game about 5 years ago when our Gilmore did that and finished with around 30

I loved Mo Alexander. I remember that game as well.

Mo would pull up from about half way between the 3 point line and half court and make a lot of them. Fun guy to watch.
