Re: Eustachy article alleges verbal abuse
Meh. Anyone ever read Keith Van Horn's Majerus quotes on Twitter? Every once in a while he will tweet a bunch of things Big Rick used to say in practice. Let's just say that c-word was featured frequently in the vernacular. Eustachy is an asshole, but so is Nick Saban, Bill Belichick, Coach K, etc....

Random thoughts on the CSU game
1. CSU starters outscored our starters 32-10 at halftime. 2. We finally got to see Adams and James play significant minutes together in the second half. In that time we closed the gap but it wasn't enough to get the win. 3. We only had one turnover the second half with James/Herndon/Adams as main ba...

Re: Border War Part 1- CSU @ WYO
I missed the game (looks like I didn't miss much) but why did Naughton only get 6 minutes? More of Edwards coaching by feel? Naughton didn't play much because CSU rarely plays a traditional big and he doesn't match up well against Omogbo. I haven't really liked Edwards rotations this year, but for ...

Re: I think we're too hard on Edwards
I agree that he plays bad rotations. But to be "done with him" at this point in his tenure is ridiculous. He hasn't even finished one season yet. Not to mention this is far from one of the worst seasons in recent Wyoming history. How soon people forget how bad we were under Schroyer.

I think we're too hard on Edwards
Don't get me wrong his player rotations aggravate me to no end. And I would argue that his game day coaching is holding the team back. However we're doing better than most expected and Edwards team has already out performed last years team, minus the 1.5 (1 Josh Adams/.5 Mcmanamen) best players from...

Re: Liebs playing with tenacity! The Road Warrior???
The kid plays hard I will give him that, and he can be a pest on defense. But most nights when he is afraid to shoot he is a liability on offense and it truly feels like were playing 4 on 5. He may play point guard but he rarely creates offense for himself or teammates. And while he can be a pest on...

James/Adams/Herndon/Dalton/Naughton
I would really love to see this lineup play together atleast once before the season is over. I fail to see why this lineup hasn't even been tried. When were getting destroyed on the boards it might be a good idea to put your biggest most athletic lineup in the game. It might me an mediocre 3pt shoot...

Re: LARRY SHYATT IS OUT. ALLEN EDWARDS IS IN. THAT'S A GOOD THING.
I agree with Dino that I'm not sad to see Larry Shyatt go. I also wouldn't have been sad if Larry had stayed. I liked Shyatt but there were several thing he did that I didn't agree with. Not playing freshman, no offensive rebounding and not rebounding on our free throw attempts just to name a few. W...

Re: 7.3pts 3.4reb 1.7ast/1.3to 42%3pt 80%ft
His perimeter defense sucks, and he has way too many turnovers to be a point guard. WW 7 games is a decent sample size and 1.3 turnovers a game for a sophomore pg in his first season of getting significant playing time, in my opinion is not getting too many turnovers. I think too many people just r...

Re: Josh Adams Memories
I'd say for me it was the 2014 MWC tournament when we were playing UNLV on their "home court" without Nance. I've been to the tourney every year in the 2000's and the UNLV fans are the smuggest fans in the conference. Anyway before the game and during the early stages all the UNLV fans sit...

7.3pts 3.4reb 1.7ast/1.3to 42%3pt 80%ft
Those are Lieberman's stats over the last 7 games. I just don't get all the negativity by some about Lieberman. His turnovers are significantly down, while his rebounding and 3pt shooting are significantly up. I don't think Lieberman will ever be the best player on a MWC championship caliber team, b...

Re: Shyatt's Recruits
I agree with the uneven classes. That's a big reason we struggle this year, but I'd say it's Shyatt's hatred/fear of playing freshmen that is hurting us the most. Completely agree his freshman bias is baffling at times...He continues to start Barnes but only plays him like 3 minutes a game. I see n...

Re: Shyatt's Recruits
I have no problem with Shyatt getting criticism, much of it is justified. But I was specifically referring to the criticism that "Shyatt's recruits aren't talented enough." I believe they are and just need time to develop.

Re: Shyatt's Recruits
Bottom line is that if Wyoming cannot compete with the players recruited, that is a recruiting problem. True I never said there wasn't a recruiting problem. However I believe the problem has more to do with how our classes are structured and not a talent issue that has often been discussed. We cert...

Shyatt's Recruits
There has been a lot of talk about Shyatt's recruiting and whether or not it cuts the mustard...So in his 5 years back he has recruited 2 Wyoming all-timers (Nance/Adams). The best free throw shooter in school history (Grabau). And probably a top 5 all time 3-point shooter (McManamen). While this ye...

Re: At least we have spring football to look forward to.
I think the point is that any 31 or for that matter 172 minute stretch is far too short of a sample size to base any significant conclusion. I still have some hope for Haldorson, he's 6'9 with a good stroke and decent athleticism. He needs to add some more bulk during the off season so he can be mor...

Re: lacking playing time may cause a player unhappy
I think Washington's struggles can be directly related to his limited playing time. I believe the lack of playing time he's had has added to his poor play for two reasons. First its hard to generate any rhythm in such limited playing time. And second I think his lack of playing time has hurt his con...

I go to all the games an hour early to watch pre-game warmups and believe it or not but in practice Cooke hits both three pointers and free throws at a pretty good rate. I really don't think the problem with Cooke is a skill problem, I think it's a lack of confidence. Cooke never played basketball u...
