Denver

Wyoming will be tough for anyone to beat in Laramie this year because of the faster style, with all of the subs, Sonny is playing.

Their only loss was because they missed so many free throws to a decent Sam Houston team on the road. If they hit their free throws better they would be undefeated still.

Team is going to be a lot better than most thought, that’s for sure. Beat Denver worse than Arizona did. Not saying they are Arizona by any stretch of the imagination but the point is they are blowing teams out by big margins that good teams blow out.

Have a decent chance to finish a lot higher in the conference than many expected I would say.

Sonny doing a great job with this many new guys.

Like that the bench gets almost as many points as the starters.

65% FT on the season so far needs improvement.

I’m feeling something different watching this team. I know it’s the OOC portion of the schedule and at times hard to decipher exactly where we are at. The first time I felt a Wyoming team would be much improved was when Charles Bradley took the floor. I’ve seen the beginnings of something a few times and this team has my interest.

Texas Tech will definitely indicate if this team is a pretender or if it is developing into a competitor. No predictions that this is a top half MWC team by any means but feeling better about being very tough in Laramie and good enough to get some road wins to compete for the middle of the conference. Only USU has looked really strong this year so far.

The depth is great. Have never really seen depth like this at UW and the ability to run. I am liking Sundance more and more. I think he was the right hire.

Time will tell. Conference is just around the corner and that’s what it’s all about. Need to show the MWC we are back to being a factor.
 
They will get beat by Tech soundly on the road, but again a couple of good neutral court games against teams with better metrics (NET, KenPom etc) would be really interesting. We have strategically avoided scheduling those type of games.

Very good win tonight!

I am not sure how DU beat CSU though. They are not a very good basketball team this year.

The box score says DU shot over 50% and almost 48% from 3. It looks like csu was playing lazy and committed too many turnovers getting behind early and let DU stay close the entire game.

Been watching both Nevada play Washington and UNLV play Rutgers this afternoon.

I don’t see anything that screams we can’t hang with either of those teams.
 
I only watched the second half of the UW/Denver game. It was already over by that point. I was trying to remember the last UW game that was basically over at halftime? This is a fun team to watch. Their free throw shooting is driving me crazy but I have to have something to bitch about. 🤣

I don’t think I would say the game was over by halftime. We were up 10. We put it away in the first 5 minutes of the second half when we opened with a 13-2 run.
