Re: Wyoming Basketball in Advanced Stats

While the numbers predicted that we should have probably swept Air Force, I am relieved that we are starting to score again and pick up a win. It was nice to see some scoring from multiple players again. Williams and Maldonado (and I will throw in Marble too) are players that I think will be able to...

Re: Boise Game

Anyone that thought this team was going to be better than 7th or 8th in the conference was wearing their brown and gold glasses. The teams played pre-conference were not good (argument could be made that Oregon State is decent), those teams are a combined 18-49. Don't get me wrong, I'm stoked that ...

Re: Boise Game

I'm going to be honest, but I am starting to get worried that maybe this isn't the new and improved Cowboys team that we thought it would be before the break. Not because of poor interior defense and rebounding, because advanced stats show that we haven't really been that much worse in those areas s...

Re: Wyoming Basketball in Advanced Stats

A lot has changed since I started this post, and it hasn't been very pretty. I think the main narrative has been that big guys who can score and rebound have been killing us in our games vs Fresno State and Boise State. Expect that story to come up again and again when we play San Diego State, Color...

Re: Wyoming fills the Lamont scholarship with Terrin Dickey...

Did anyone notice he's 6'7" and his highlight video has no dunks on it? That means, he's probably not done getting taller, and he has incredible upside if he hits the weights. I'm not sure how him not having dunks on his highlight reel means he isn't done getting taller. To me it means that ma...

Re: Wyoming Basketball in Advanced Stats

Interesting stats... The defensive numbers confirm what I've been seeing (they are really bad at it). I'll be pleasantly surprised if this squad finishes above .500 in conference play. I expect them to win a few surprise games when they get hot but lose a lot more when the shots aren't falling and ...

Re: Wyoming Basketball in Advanced Stats

Drew Lamont just simply didn't get enough playing time to discern a lot of meaning from advanced stats. They actually look good, but are super inflated in some areas. He was actually 3rd on the team in win shares/40 minutes (about Marcus Bailey and Josh Adams level) and first in offensive rating(com...

Re: Wyoming Basketball in Advanced Stats

Hate to be a wet blanket, but so far, we've only beaten one team with a winning record (Oregon State at 4-3). Even our home loss to what some called a "good" Texas Southern team looks worse as they are currently 2-4. Conference play will show what this team is really made of, especially o...

Re: Wyoming Basketball in Advanced Stats

Cool stuff. Thanks for posting. I'm wondering about Maldonado on offense. How is he rated? His shooting percentages are not that great this year. Sort of inefficient as you could imagine. He is dead last on the team in effective FG % and his offensive rating is low but it isn't all bad for him. For...

Wyoming Basketball in Advanced Stats

Due to the big break between games, I was looking at our team through advanced stats. Here are some tidbits -Offensively, we are 26th in the nation in points per game. If we finish the year there, that would be a higher rank than many great Cowboy teams of the past, including the Davis/Bailey teams,...

Re: 2017-2018 Statistical Analysis

Here are a couple of stats the I find interesting. Some are obvious, some just don't tell the whole story, but here they go. - Herndon has a the highest offensive rating on the team with Dalton a close second and just barely behind him for third is . . .Moemeka. All three have much higher offensive ...

Re: Northern Colorado

I honestly didn't mind the lack of three point attempts, our offense wasn't great but should've been enough to win. Obviously the defense let too many guys drive by them for easy buckets, but I gotta give respect where respect is due for their guy Spaite (sp?). On a side note, would it kill us to ev...

Re: Reasons why I think Josh Plays in this game if healthy

I don't know that this game is any more meaningless than any other Wyoming game. It's not like any of our games have CFB playoff implications. Besides I don't think it is really comparable to the Pro Bowl. None of those players sign contracts to the NFC or AFC pro bowl teams. Now sure, maybe you cou...

If he really isn't fully healthy, then sure I understand not playing, but if you are looking to play in the NFL but don't want to play in a bowl game because you might get hurt is both cowardly and selfish in my honest opinion. Come on, do NFL players whose teams are out of the playoffs hunt just si...

Re: Allen: Stay, NFL, or P5 Team?

There are many reasons for Josh to not play the bowl game, but may I present two reasons that hopefully don't make me too much of a Homer: 1.) The thing that his detractors point out is that he struggled against quality opponents. We probably won't be drawing an opponent from a P5 conference, but if...

Re: UW @ Iowa

It was a frustrating game to watch for many reasons, but here are my thoughts. The play calling wasn't great but I think it was only a small contributor to our poor offensive performance. The lack of experience in the skill positions was glaring and magnified against a very strong defense. Whenever ...

Re: Will we actually fire someone before it's too late?

Well I don't think we will fire anyone in season. On a quick side note, I do think Bohl was a good hire and I don't really think he should be fired, but I do think that Bohl is a sort of unusual choice for Wyoming from a purely stylistic point of view. His style isn't all that unlike Iowa, who relie...

Re: Progress?

Well, I guess it depends on how you define progress. The talent I think is ahead of what it was a year or even two years ago. Talent alone doesn't win games though. Play calling was pretty original. Execution wasn't there (there is really no excuse for procedure penalty at the goalline and block FG)...

Re: MW Tourney Semi Final- Wyoming vs Boise State

I don't care if some of their guys haven't made a single 3 this season, we need to defend the arc. I'd rather see them drive into Nance, Cooke, and whoever else is playing help D in the post than making 3's. We do have the size and speed advantage. Nance needs to play smarter, but he has picked it u...
