Fan support for basketball has to get better

Appears weekday evening games are bad for students.

I appreciated the comment about doing well vs the teams in our tax bracket.

NIL budget is around 300k. Goal is to get it to 800k.

She missed approx 1/3 of the season due to injury, which has flared back up. Unfortunate for them. She averages approx 17 pts per game. They have three other players that average in the 11 pt range. She only had 8pts vs NDSU. They only played 8 vs NDSU. I can't seem 'em only playing 7. Not at this elevation.

Run 'em!

Article talking about how it works for them.


This from Pitino:

“When I first started in this profession, it was about facilities, and then it was about nutrition, can we build all this up, housing — it kind of changes every couple of years,” Pitino said. “The biggest thing about NIL is if you don’t have it, you have no chance. Is it the end all, be all? No, but if you don’t catch up and compete, it’s going to be very, very difficult for you. It’s like everything in this profession, it’s always going to be an arms race. And everybody is, I think, understanding it a little bit better now than when it first started.”

The Cowboys will practice 15 times in the spring including the annual spring game on Saturday, April 27 at 1 p.m. at Cheyenne East High School.

CBS goons picking chalk on the selection show. I cant imagine chalk with this field. MWC well represented in the play in games but favorable seeding for SDSU. I am just hoping for a good showing and at least 2 Sweet 16 teams. Other than SDSU, MWC seems to find ways to choke.

Win going away 84-52...

Next up Minnesota....

go Pokes

I’m hearing she has asked the Big 12 assignor to take over scheduling of Mens MWC games. She is unhappy with first year assignor John Higgins because he did not assign any women to the MWC mens tournament. SMH!!!

If anyone can figure a defensive scheme vs Edey, it's Few. I imagine there will be a lot of double teams, forcing others to beat you.

Go Zags!

Monday night at 6:30 against Minnesota.

Go Cowgirls!!

The best NCAA tournament game I ever watched in person was in 1988 in Salt Lake City.

The Cowboys played a hell of a game and got beat 119-115 by LMU.

It was a sad drive back to Wyoming, but also what an experience.

Hope we can get back to this level of basketball in my lifetime.

So SDSU asks the conference not to schedule them a lower seed MWC team late, so it doesn't affect their metrics! Then they play two cupcakes that don't count against their metrics. This is why they don't come to UW, but that's changing ASStecs!!!

Dickerson's in the 1,000 pt club

One tournament win since 1987.

Three tournament wins in 36 years.

Watching the tournament this weekend really brought this home. A long succession of half-assed administrations have pissed away half a lifetime.

I've had it. Unforgivable!

All this BB talk without the Cowboys being involved is boring. Can we talk about football. Read Cody’s article about how well liked Coach is by the players and how he has opened up 2 Spring practices to the public. Breath of fresh air. I think the in house hire was good. If Coach can keep the Cowboy Tough attitude and add a modern offense to the playbook we are going to be good. I would think in today’s world having a coach the players not only respect but like personally is very important. We didn’t lose much in the Port Hole after Saw was named coach. Can’t wait for that first game. I think we are going to be good. This is the year of a MWC Championship.

Good luck to him

they and Boise
