Wyoming vs the other SDSU game thread

[joshvanklomp]

This should be a pretty convincing win, at least I hope so. The Jacks are 1-2 in the first year under former Iowa State assistant TJ Otzelberger. That one win came Wednesday at home against Division II Wayne State (Neb.) by just 8 points (Wayne went 5-24 last year). They shot a season-best 42.6 percent in the win.

They are bigger than Montana. Best player is a 6-9 245 lb sophomore from Nebraska. So that will be something to watch. But I like our odds of our perimeter game over theirs.

IS Daum on this team or South Dakota?

Why do they suck this year? Weren't they a tourney team last year?

They lost quite a few players, kind of like us last year after our NCAA tourney year. Instead of Josh Adams, they have Mike Daum and he is very good (very different player obviously at 6'9" 245, but still).

They are also adjusting to a new coaching staff and style of play. I think they are better than they have shown, but the Pokes should be favored.

Daum is the best player I referred to in my first post.

64% win probability and a 4.3-point favorite. Numbers comparable to the Montana return trip or when we host Fresno.
