Wyoming notes
Posted: Mon Dec 09, 2013 1:16 pmIt is still eleven days until the Wyoming game but here are few notes on UW. Most previews have them picked middle of the pack in a pretty good MWC. They've started the season 7-2 with loses at Ohio St by 15 and at Colorado by 5. All seven wins are all against cupcakes.
Larry Nance Jr. is Wyoming's best player and just like his dad he's long and athletic. He's averaging 13 pts and 9 boards this year. Their two other leading scorers are guards, Riley Grabau and Josh Adams. Grabau is an absolute assassin from long distance, 63% (27 of 43). If he's shooting it's usually a 3. Adams is a slasher and can finish strong at the rim.
Derek Cook Jr. is their big in the middle. Likely matched up with Moreira. He is very efficient from the field with a 71% FG %, averaging 8 pts and 8 boards a game.
Overall we will need to defend the 3 as they shoot a lot of them (16 a game) and shoot them well at 41%. They've averaged 4,700 in attendance for their five home games all against small schools. I expect a nice crowd even with school on break.
