Agree, Beaver. Our offense should be Larry dominating down low, Josh driving the ball finishing and creating, and Hank and Grabeu launching deadly three pointers, in that order.

And then when we need to, we need Grabau driving the ball just to get fouled, and bring Herndon and McManamen (and now Aka Gorski) to get us some points and shoot free throws when Cooke and Hank need to be off the floor.

Hankerson is pretty damn good at drilling the 3, but oddly is not very good at free throws. Not a combo you see too often.

I've always felt that Adams was the key to this team, not Nance.

Gagliardi column: UW men’s hoops should have big crowd Saturday (WyoSports.net)

New Mexico (13-6, 5-2 heading into Wednesday’s game at UNLV) has won the last three MW tourney titles and has finished no worse than second in the regular-season standings the last three years.

UW has not defeated New Mexico at home since 2011, and it has lost eight straight to the Lobos overall — including a pair of overtime games last season by a combined eight points.

Nance, UW feeling buzz as New Mexico game approaches

UW is hoping for its first home crowd of 10,000 since 2005, and possibly its first sellout since 2003. As of Thursday afternoon, around 2,500 tickets remained for the game.

Student attendance should be good as the spring semester starts Monday. Senior forward Larry Nance Jr. said the team is “starting to feel the buzz a little bit” about this game as students begin to come back to campus.

“Every time we play New Mexico it’s a big deal,” Nance said. “It will be fun to have some students at the game. We’ve had great support with he students off campus during the break. But now that they’re back it will be a whole new atmosphere with our student section.”

"We wish him the very best and thank him for his three years of service. We’re proud both Matt and Loren are scheduled to graduate this spring.”

Thanks Matt for all the time and work you put in. Good luck in the future.

 

[pokefanchaz7]

That could hurt. I know he doesn't play big minutes but there could come a game where we need a serviceable big man.

 

[fromolwyoming]

Good luck Matt! Thank you for your time here!

Quitting half way through the season. I don't quite get that

 

[wyopig]

Strange timing, but oh well. Good luck to him.

 

[ItSucksToBeACSURam]

WHAT!?!?!?! Something seems off...Why would you go through all the early season ups and downs just to leave when the games matter...Ride it out and include your name on any accolades this team earns...

The dude is married, that adds a whole other dynamic to college sports and decision making. Plus, his time has gone down significantly. This just means we may get to see a little more of Barnes. Which sounds okay to me.
