Today in MWC Hoops - 1/17/22 - WYO@Nevada, UNLV@Sparty - WHO YA’ GOT?

The "Maldonado point guard experience" is pretty cool until we're trying to hold onto a lead in the last 3 minutes. This team needs a Riley Grabau type to help close things out

[misplacedcowboy]

Jeffries has improved so much athletically from last year. Has become a really good rebounder and defender instead of just a shooter who camped in the corner

If any combo of Thompson, DuSell, or Jeffries can get hot from three, the inside-out game with Maldo and Ike is nearly impossible to guard. 

Biggest threat is Ike getting in regular foul trouble.

You have to be able to guard them 1 on 1. If not, you're flecked.

It’s fine. Nevada is horrific this season. 

[Swoll Cracker]

Wyoming +115 Moneyline. 
 

CHA-CHING.

Pokes we’re good tonight. And Nevada continues to disappoint in a bigly manner.

Haven't watched too many Pack games this year, but every time I see myself thinking they'll get things together by next game. That roster is too good to just be average this far into the year.

Border wars are gonna be electric. Should be close to sell-outs depending on weather

[Reverend]

This Nevada team is the most disappointing men's basketball team I can remember.

Wyoming should be a lockin for the tournament

Kentucky and Duke last season would say otherwise

Some of Nevada’s players are turnips.  Really dumb. That Hymes three-ball in the second half is Nevada in a nutshell. And helping on Maldonado on the perimeter and leaving Jeffries open in the first half was really dumb. Maldonado a 30% shooter and Jeffries a 50% shooter.

Rams will start coming close to selling out now that the students are back. The crowds have been running about 5k without student and 7k+ with the students. Moby capacity is down to 8k after they added the silly beer porch.

They were terrible tonight. Wyoming didn't even play great, and won easily on the road.

Linder is really good at getting decent players in a favorable position

Cambridge looked really off tonight. If Wyoming is hot from 3 look out. One thing is for certain about Wyoming, no way to make those colors look good.

Wyoming wore poop brown but Nevada was the team that looked like shit tonight

I don’t think they’ll be putting anything together. This is not a good team.

[gold-n-brown]

At the risk of repeating myself, we are number one and number two.

Great win in the road POKES when we didn't play great and were down a couple players!

Alford did a good job finding turnips in the portal.

Yeah. This. Blackshear and Baker don’t really serve any purpose. His freshmen recruits haven’t panned out at all, either. Nobody on this team, including Sherfield, seems to make anyone else better.
