Wyoming @ Utah State - January 10

The hits just keep on coming. Down 5 scholarship players. I have never seen so many injuries on one team in my life.
Concussion and illness are surely not on the training staff I would imagine. The rest? I don't know.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 9:45 am Does the training staff get a big fat F or is it something Linder is doing? I know Linder's practices involve a ton of live scrimmaging. Are the guys being overworked and is this leading to injuries?
And I love how it takes a national guy like Rothstien to report this, not, you know, our local beat writers.
If we had Reynolds and Wenzel, I would say yes. But I don't think so without them. MAybe our PAC-12 transfer will have breakout gamesOrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 10:53 am We are 10.5 point dogs. Can we even keep it that close?
Max was awful against SDSU. Worse than awful. Whatever worse than awful is - that is what Max was. The others? Kyman? Yow. He was a ghost during the SDSU game, except for when he playing like garbage. Anderson was ok, but is way too loose with the ball.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 11:05 amIf we had Reynolds and Wenzel, I would say yes. But I don't think so without them.

Max still played defense 1000x better than Hunter Thompson ever could.LawPoke wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 11:41 amMax was awful against SDSU. Worse than awful.

If we are going to stay within 20, I think X, Hunter and Oden have to step forward and be counted. Those guys know what it takes. Will they? The jury is about to start deliberating.
100% agree. Thompson shouldn't be a measuring stick for anything in our program. Anderson does show potential. His ball handling and decision-making will get better - and a lot of guards struggle against SDSU.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 12:08 pmMax still played defense 1000x better than Hunter Thompson ever could.LawPoke wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 11:41 am

Anderson is a great athlete and rebounder. He's been showing flashes of decent offense.
I disagree. I didn't see Max guarding a post player except on the rare switch. I'm not defending Thompson as an excellent post defender, but Max isn't a post defender at all. He did have a couple of good defensive plays as an off-ball defender. JO did most of the work guarding their posts.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 12:08 pmMax still played defense 1000x better than Hunter Thompson ever could.LawPoke wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 11:41 am

Compared to the athletic size and speed of SDSU - weight room gets a big fat F, no question. And agree, our local media (Wyoming) is not even mediocre. They don't report poop.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 9:45 am Does the training staff get a big fat F or is it something Linder is doing?

They have more injuries than the football team. I don’t even see how it’s possible for a basketball team to have so many injuries. And Foster should just call it a career that guy is always hurt.
At this point I would be surprised if he didn't do just that.

I just hope they can field a team for a whole game.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 9:05 pmTalich gets some PT.Itsux2beaewe wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 9:02 pm So if you have 6 players and a couple foul out - what happens?
