Thinking back to the days of FENNIS DEMBO THE DAZZLING DUDE and BENNY DEES AND THE DOME OF DOOM, maybe the current team should have a nickname ... THE DALTON GANG.

Hey! What about Justin? Maybe Jesse was one of his ancestors. Don't want to dare slight that lineage.

Personally, I'd go with "Strawberry Jam and the Gliders". U could switch out Gliders for travellers. Dalton is definitely Strawberry Jam though.

...except we need to reserve the Dunktown moniker for a team that, you know, actually dunks a ball now-and-then.

As good as this team looks, I think we really caught lightning in a bottle with Josh Adams, Larry Nance, and Derek Cooke all on the same team when it comes to sheer athletic ability.

It was definitely a product of Shatts offense as well. As old school as papa shy was that man loved slamming the ball down his opponents throat.

As mentioned earlier though definitely helps when 3 of best dunkers in program history are on the same squad. Just great memories indeed.

Agreed. A near complete 180 in terms of offense with Edwards. A better nickname now that I think about it would be Tray Town or 3 town....Tray Town has a better ring to it.

You know the team is deep when you can rest both JJ and the Ginger Avenger at the same time and still cruise into the final.
Wyoming Cowboy basketball:

National Champions 1943.

Helm's foundation National Champions 1934.

NCAA tournament MVP and two time College Basketball Player of the Year Kenny Sailors, who is credited with inventing the jump shot.

Do you remember Cowboy Basketball?

I do.

I'm still waiting for Momeka to release the Cooke authority dunks. He has the frame and size he just hasn't let that authority take over yet but he will.
