What’s colder than this board? The Pokes shooting. What a terrible half. Rebels not much better so Wyo still in the game.

Watching on tv.....just nothing but empty seats and Wyo. with another uninspiring performance. Can Linder make it to next year? I thought it was a foregone conclusion that he would but I'm starting to wonder.

I really thought we’d see another Cardiac Cowboy win in regulation. Ugh.

I guess I don’t understand the rules of a charge. Looked to me Manyawu had position there late in the game.

Agree. I’ve come to the conclusion that I really must not understand the rules.

It certainly had more drama at the end. But I'd argue the 1st half might have been the worst half of bb we've played
this year. Turnovers, missing wide open shots and not even getting 20 points in the first half. If Vegas hadn't been so inept, we'd have
been down by double digits.

Better effort. Can’t recall the last time Wyoming lost 4 straight home conference games. Might have been Schroyer years. We should beat Air Force in the final home game next week.

Never mind. We had a much worse home losing streak in Edwards’ last year. Don’t know how I forgot that year so quickly.

I was impressed by the change from the Boise State game. I think we've pulled some upsets, so teams take us seriously. We just need to grow the young players and bulk up and compete.

A total of 3 players who will theoretically be returning next year entered the game (Manyawu, Powell, Combs). One starter (Powell).

Don't worry, Linder will go down Chadron State and recruit some graduate seniors.

The roster has 10 undergrads. Admittedly, most don't see time this year.

Correct. My biggest concern is that our roster has no rhyme or reason. It feels and is patchwork and a mishmash of what we could desperately cobble together.

I actually think Manyawu and Combs are good gets. The problem is that they are prime targets for transfer. Powell is not good. He has not progressed at all.
