With 6 (now 5, but really 4.5) seniors, we shouldn't be surprised to be in the upper 1/4th of the standings. It will be fun to watch the 4.5 carry this team - as they should - the last 4 games of the season, and take us into the MWC tourney with a huge chip, on a mission to win it all. No reason for it to end any other way. This is they year, this is the one we have been waiting for, right? GO POKES!

Love it.
We have 3 guys in their 3rd year starting, including maybe the most athletic guard in the MWC, a hard working but quiet FT and 3-point shooter, and truly an elite, all-around potential NBA player who is the best player in the conference.
We have a guy in his first year starting who spent 2 seasons at an SEC school and in his 3rd year in the program (redshirt transfer, 6th man, starter). He is paying his own way. He works for this. This is what he loves and is truly a Wyoming Cowboy. He has found a home, it wasn't easy, but he did it.
We have a kid who didn't play basketball until his freshman year at a juco. The kid came to Laramie as an athletic big man who has since been coached up and climbed his way into an above average MWC player.
PS... Cooke and Sellers BOTH played 1 year at a juco before coming to Wyoming. Same class. Look at where Cooke is. Look at where Sellers is.
HARD WORK!!!
We have a bench full of future starters.
This team is special. 4 games left in the regular season. Only a 5th (although more than that is likely, I know) is guaranteed.
Enjoy every last game, because Nance and Grabau and Hankerson and Cooke and Bentz have put a LOT into this program and built it to where it is now.
GO POKES!!!
