Sigh………

Been that way all year. We can't score at the basket in traffic. We also have a terrible transition defense...primarily due to lack of effort.

In my opinion, UW basketball would be well served to start investing more into the development of Wyoming high school basketball. They could start by putting on free coaches clinics for high school basketball coaches across the state. They could also significantly expand their camp program and put o...

The talent gap between Utah State and Wyoming was immense. Linder has to find a way to attract (and retain) better talent in Laramie. The only teams in the MWC we will be able to hang with this year are Air Force, Fresno State, and San Jose State. Everyone else is way better than Wyoming - I just c...

I've had the opportunity to speak with several people who have coached with Linder at his previous stops before he arrived at UW. Every single one of them have only had very positive things to say about his coaching ability. More than one of them used the term "basketball genius" to descri...

As much as I hate to say it, BYU has a really good basketball team this year. Their player spacing/positioning and off the ball movement was outstanding. It also helps that they shoot the ball well.

I don’t believe it is. A defender has to touch it first, not just an eligible receiver.

Only watched the majority of the second half but thought Walters looked pretty good for his first game back. He was a little rusty, but I thought he looked good with his back against the basket down low.

The defense has looked very bad for the past few weeks. Poor individual defense coupled with what looks like a complete misunderstanding of how to play team defense. Our defensive rotations are late 80% of the time. Sometimes, the rotations don't even happen at all. We were never going to be a defen...

Griffin and Manyawu have been fantastic. Griffin is a solid all-around player who should be in the all-conference discussion if he stays healthy. Manyawu is still a little raw, but his ceiling is very high. His hands are amazing - he saves us 2-3 turnovers every game with his ability to bring in les...

Should not have taken that long to pull away from a D2 team. The team has looked a little off the past couple of weeks. Hopefully they can get the ship pointed in the right direction before conference play starts.

Several good quarterbacks already in the portal. Does Bohl chase one or put his eggs in the Svoboda basket? Should be interesting. My hope is that he sticks with Svoboda. I was very impressed with him this season. He made a couple deep out throws in the Texas game that were professional level throw...

We do not finish well at the rim. We often avoid contact = no fouls being drawn and a lot of missed acrobatic layups.

Although the MWC doesn't specify, I would bet this list was compiled by the AD's from each MWC school. That explains the recency bias to the list because most of them weren't around to remember Bouknight, Bramlet, etc. I would also love to see Tom Burman's list. I wonder if he would be willing to re...

Brett Smith was a better college QB than either of them

There is definitely an argument for that. My opinion may be clouded some - I was in high school when Casey Bramlet was the QB and I have fond memories of that time.

I looked at the MWC website and it says selections were made by the "Mountain West 25th Season Committee". It says that committee is made up of "members" from all 11 full-time institutions, but does not list any names. I would not have put Josh Allen on that list. Josh has a lot ...

Brian Hill did not make this list?

Outside of Pumphrey, he is the best RB the MWC has ever had. He was definitely better than Ajayi, Brad Roberts, and Staley. I would love to hear the justification for leaving Brian Hill off this list.

I would give him C+ for performance and a A for effort. I am convinced he was injured for much of the season but Bohl was too stubborn to tell him to sit except against Texas who Bohl knew Wyoming's offensive line would have its hands full. This sounds about right. I think his best quality was his ...

This would basically result in five non-conference games for MWC teams in 2024.

I hope the MWC tries to include direct compensation from WSU or OSU for MWC teams that are forced to go play them on the road.

I am hearing Wyoming is getting strong consideration from the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth. Opponent would most likely be Kansas. I would think they would want Air Force instead of Wyoming You may end up being correct. However, Air Force played in the Armed Forces bowl last year and the game was...
