12-0 tonight fellas! We are so very close to running the tables OOC.
I think the Pokes play extremely well tonight. Not a 28 point win again, but still something that sends a message to the Top 25 voters.

Also, I was looking through some box scores and stats. Josh Adams is only averaging 5.5 points a game, yet on our two hardest games and biggest tests all season, CU & Illinois St. he had 12 & 15 points in each game. Is he going to be our x-factor this season? We know what we are getting out of the 3L's (Leonard Larry and Luke) and Gilmore is capable of going off big time, but I'm interested in why Adams goes for big points in the games we need him most.

And I still wanna know if Adams is going to take Grabaus starting spot once he is healthy. I know a lot of people are going to say no we need Adams off the bench (which is something I am fine with, as him and Cooke will be a huge boost) but it is hard to say no to Adams when he is just looking the all around better player IMO.

But like I said I do like the thought of a slower more controlled game with Grabau in (plus it's not like we go from scoring 80ppg to 50ppg with grabau) and then getting a huge spark with adams running the floor crazy fast against other teams back-ups.

Thank God I am not coach shyatt or I would end up making the wrong decision lol
 
I think its kinda a toss up between riley and josh at this point.

this week i saw an interview with nance, don't remember if it was video or article, but nance said the point of our offense if to force opposing defense's to defend for 20+ seconds per possession. he said most offense's put up a shot in the 10-15 second range per trip. he also said that it wears a defense down, forces mistakes, and makes for easier buckets as the game goes on.

so looking at riley and josh, obviously health is the primary concern. grabua has a better skill set "right now" for running a half court offense... but after last game's rusty performance, expect to see josh getting the most minutes.

i've seen improvement from josh over the past 5 games with controlling the half court offense, additionally he adds a dimension to forcing turn-overs into fast break points.

both can play and play well. they can give breathers to each other.

I don't think it matters who starts at this point. And letting one play an entire game over the other would be a negative to the others confidence and experience level.

I cheer for both, whenever they hit the floor. having both players healthy and ready to back each other up heading into conference will pay off.
 
So based off current stats and projections.

People definitely aren't buying into the program yet and they pretty much assume we will lose more conference games than we win so I really hope we have some solid conference play and come up with some solid wins.
 
The question of who starts is pretty irrelevant. It's who logs more minutes. I imagine coach shyatt will base his decision on feel and how each player is playing.
 
I want you to all take a look at the Wyoming stream quality and where it is now vs what it was just a few months ago.

For those curious I'm broadcasting that at 1280x720 which is a 16:9 resolution, I have considered dropping it further which would increase the quality on a smaller screen but create more pixelation on a larger screen.

Cowboys up 12-6 team playing really solid right now, A lot of great assists Adams is really on fire!
 
The stream quality is primary-source originated. I'm watching through the gowyogo portal and it's a complete upgrade from the last game. Sharp and smooth.
 
My audio and video are perfect.

Also, I am happy to see grabau back out there. But I think when it's all said and done that Adams could be a top 10 or better player ever at UW. IF he stays all 4 years.
