So what's everybody's take on this one???
-Do we have a big crowd(8k or more)
-Do we win big or do we struggle?
-Does Larry dominate? Does Josh and Riley shoot well this game
-Does DC and Herndon break out for a change and help be a factor in this one? Hank needs to shoot it well to open up the zone
Just some thoughts I had, anymore feel free to add

I think we get this one after a close 1st half, kinda like a feel out period and we pull away late
UW-64 Nev-57
 
Nevada is so hard to predict.

Won 2
Lost 8
Won 4
Lost 5 in a row now ?????

They have beaten decent teams like UNLV.

-Do we have a big crowd(8k or more) - School is officially back now. No excuses students. Get your #$%# to the game.
-Do we win big or do we struggle? - We really haven't won "big" all year. History and statistically, I say it is within 6-8 points.
-Does Larry dominate? Business as usual. Unless our outside shooting % picks up, he won't get enough touches. -Does Josh and Riley shoot well this game? I think Grabau is catching his stride. Him and Adams will play good.
-Does DC and Herndon break out for a change and help be a factor in this one? Hank needs to shoot it well to open up the zone. No.

I think a lot of our problems are shot selection. I bet 1 in 5 possessions are a poor quality shots with less than :4 on the clock. I just want to see our team start shooting when open. Our offense is so stagnant right now.
 
yeah having to rush shots due you only having 5 second or less is quite a problem one that you really shouldn't put yourself into, but it is what it is
 
DC -- Season appears over for him as a factor. If he can't get dunks, he sort of gives up.
Hank -- In a funk. Down. Maybe game next week. Not Saturday.
Josh -- Will force shots because of poor showing @ USU. Will try too hard.
Riley -- Will stay cool. Good for 12 pts.
Larry -- Is pissed. Will put on some heat in offense and defense.
Herndon -- Needs to bang the boards more - screw the fouls.

Answer -- Gorski needs free reign. Let him shoot if open. Same with Mac.
 
I think we come out energized and make Nevada play our style, and it will be a close game in the first half, and depending on how the final 2 minutes of the first half play out, we could be tied or up 6 or so at halftime. I think the second half we pull away, regardless of how the first half was played.

Pokes win by 10. 58 to 48. Good play by Larry, Josh, and Hankerson. And great defense all around.
 
Sometimes Larry needs to step up and be the team leader and run the show on the floor, take the bull by the horns!!

Are we at the point in the season now where every coach has observed what every other team can do and it now becomes more a battle of coaches than players? I'm not positing that it is totally between the coaches, but that coaches now play a bigger role. This idea is just something that popped into mind. I could be FOS.

Last game I don't remember much but against UNM I thought he played great defense. It didn't show up in the boxscore but he was a factor I thought. and the game before at Fresno he had a double double. So I thin kDC has plenty left to contribute. The others like Hank has been in a slump the last couple games he will snap out of it eventually maybe tomorrow maybe Wednesday, same with Josh but sooner I think. I bet he is pissed from tuesday and is going to go off tomorrow.
 
Three of us geezers are coming from Cheyenne. Folks in Laramie and the students need to show up big, but I don't count on em. Adams, Cooke and LNJ go big as well as the best freethrow player in the nation. WYO wins big!

I think to a point you are right. I also think that we are at the point of the season where the pretenders go away and the contenders, including late season pushers come alive.

Teams like Fresno that have proven they were bad in OOC play, then "surprised" some teams with their style of play (similar to Wyo, SDSU, NM), are likely going to fall back in the standings.
Boise who got a little surprised at the beginning of MWC play (started 0-3) has now won 5 games. We will find out shortly which streak was the fluke, the 3 game losing streak or the 5 game winning streak?

The teams with the best coaches have an advantage (Fisher, Shyatt, Morrill). And teams with the best players also have another advantage (Nance, Greenwood, Shepherd).

But when it comes down to it, the teams the make the final push to the MWC title are going to be the teams that kick ass in the next 5 or 6 games. We are 8 of 18 in. Give us 3 weeks, where teams are playing eachother for the second time, where coaches figure out ways to exploit and hide weaknesses, and the teams "surprising" other teams fall out of the race.

I think these next 5 or 6 games show that Wyoming, SDSU, and CSU are the class of the MWC. With New Mexico, Utah State, and Boise State being in that second tier.
With that said, the final few games (obviously) will be the ones that give the seperation between Wyo-CSU-SDSU.

It's not who wins, it's who survives. Teams with the best home court advantages, best coaches, and best players will be in contention.
 
The stupid game on root is going to overtime. This sucks... Nothing good better happen during the first 5 minutes.

Can someone there deflate some game balls and delay the tip off
