Into third place in the conference with their win and the Boise loss.

Beat SDSU and they won’t be any lower than this going into the conference tournament.

to back games. Those are the only seeds determined so far.

Sometimes I wonder what Josh Allen is thinking. This is perplexing to me. He might regret this decision at some point.

This ain’t it.

UW at Washiington State on November 30, 2024. Here is to a bolstered MWC conference in future years and seeing Or State and Wazzu in Laramie every other year plus maybe a couplie other national brands and not UTEP, New Mex State etc, but

I was very optimistic several months ago. I see things differently now and the PAC 2 is sitting back and looking at all options. I hope the merger straight up or reversed happens, but right now OSU and WAZZU are looking at their options--rebuilding the PAC12 and once Florida State moves things will unravel further. Clemson follows and possibly 2 other ACC teams go other places as well.

The PAC 2 merges with the remaining ACC and forms basically a coast to coast conference which Stanford and Cal will appreciate as would SMU. They fill in the middle with Tulane and a couple Texas Schools along with Memphis and then wait a few more years and raid MWC with Boise State, SDSU, CSU and Fresno State. Probably AFA as well--here is hoping that UW kicks butt the next couple of years and possibly UW comes in to firm up the Denver market with AFA. This new CCC conference--coast to coast.

Like I said--I hope I am wrong, but lets see.

The new PAC 12-(2) Commish states as much at the new conference on Thursday..."“The football agreement ( with the MWC) was critical in advancing those goals for us,” she continued. “I would say in terms of the future, … our obligation to our programs and our student athletes is to remain open-minded to all options. We really do feel that there are going to be a lot of different options on the table that we need to consider and pursue.”

12 of 16 from the 3 point line in the first half.

Wow!

on 287! 287 strikes again! God bless their families!!

Newton and Foster's return gives the depth a boost, especially in reducing minutes of the starting perimeter players.

This list below can certainly change in the coming weeks. But as of right now, looks like the Cowboys have their scholarship limit nearly filled. Again, this could change in the coming weeks. Not set in stone by any stretch.

For the first time ever, the MW champion will likely be in the playoffs. Love this for the MW and UW! Can't wait!

Never was a big fan. Even when he had the hype I questioned it. I don't like his basketball and his whines he plays with refs, players and fans. He can bring players in but can't utilize them and keep them. A coach should never get kicked out of a game the middle of the first half. IMO the coach is the most important asset to the team. If he isn't coaching something wrong.

96 could be the new 68. Participation trophies for everyone! Sad thing is Wyoming would still miss the Big Dance this year.

Attendance numbers arent great already, so why double down and make the regular season even more irrelevant? Why have a regular season at all? Just draw up a tourney with everyone and play it out? Madness.

Cowgirls lose 58-59. Ustowska taking the final shot? Ezell also put in Savic at the 3 min mark & couldn’t get Fertig back in the game for another 2 min. That hurt.
