Stream vs Nevada?

[J-Rod]

19 wins. One more to 20, but it will be their toughest task yet.

 

[Wyo2dal]

Riley with the game saving save pretty sure that was most valuable play.

85-81. Almost pissed it away, and not sure what happened to defense, but 85 points on offense I can live with.

I'll tell you what happened on defense: Pokes (Shyatt) can't figure out how to defend a team that can get in down low..
Oh well. They're doing the best they can. They really are #8.

Down low!? Nevada was drilling 3s!!! Haha seriously?

 

[BeaverPoke]

Good 2nd half by pokes. Hopefully this game jump starts them into an offensive groove.
And hopefully NM isn't hittin 3s Thursday.
Bring on the lobos

Not sure how that is relevant to this game. UNR's front court only attempted about 12 shots between 5 guys (or 6 less than Burton attempted himself).

It's true we can't stand up against a true post presence...which has a lot to do with why we are 3-0 against Nevada,the one team in the MWC that can't hurt us down there.

Great win, plus Poke fans who made the trip get at least an extra day in Vegas, and one less day of a Laramie winter

The difference in the 2nd half was Wyoming's rebounding (especially on the offensive board) and getting the ball inside more often. Like Kevin McKinney said toward the end of the game though, "Why are we not feeding Larry - he is shooting around 90%"?

Well to beat New Mexico, we are gonna have to feed Larry and Leonard A LOT, because Alex Kirk is a beast inside.
Hopefully NM isn't hitting their 3s like Nevada was and hopefully our D down low can stop Kirk. And we gotta have some near perfect play.
I don't expect a game in the 80s though. Maybe the 60s, but probably in the 50s. Leonard better be on all game if we wanna chance.

i have a good fun feeling about this one, yes feed Larry all night, get Kirk and Barstow in Foul Trouble and we should take care of the Bozos
