Wyoming over UNI
- Thread starter wyohawk
- Start date
UNI will have to shoot a good pct. Wyoming will try to slow the game to a crawl. Could come down to the last couple minutes.
Not even trying to be. I'm a Wyoming alum and have watched several games this year. They are slow, methodical, and efficient when at full strength (as seen in the MWC tourney). I think they have a clear athletic advantage across the board over UNI (which I know hasn't always stopped the panthers before) and Larry Nance is as good a stretch post player as they will have faced this year. Absolutely terrible matchup for UNI.
However, Wyoming is EXTREMELY shallow and if starters get in foul trouble or injured, it's goodnight.

Seth on CBS disagrees. He picked UNI as one of his teams in the FINAL FOUR. I guess that means he thinks the Panthers can get by Wyoming.
If this game is first to 40 what happens if UNI plays Virginia? First to 30?

Heard Wyoming coach Larry Shyatt at a clinic last spring. I was really impressed. Old school, no nonsense, all about defense. A quote I remember: "I can smell when there is no edge in the gym. And the players will learn fast to get one."
This might be the best defensive matchup of the tourney. Wyoming is playing great ball and will make UNI earn every point. On the other hand, UNI is going to make them earn every point, too. Taking the Panthers in a close one.

Wyoming made a run they just did not have the horses to stay with the Panthers. Nance went a little beast mode in the 2nd half; however, he did not make Tuttle look silly. Tuttle does so much more than just score.

Tuttle was a bit off but he is a great player. An off game is 14 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and having the offense run through him. He should have had 20. He was a bit off in finishing but he always impresses me with how well he uses angles to score inside. I still think UNI should have been a 4 seed. They are a very good team.
Hayden do you have some numbers for the lottery? Great prediction. The best part of the prediction was the Washpun aspect. Washpun was really clutch in turning back the Cowboys run.
Another good win for the Panthers -- I love it when everyone talks about how slow UNI plays. 71 against a good defensive team today -- the Panthers are efficient. They know what works for them and they run their offense to exploit the mismatches and double teams. Can't wait to see their next game and how they handle the pressure, especially if Louisville is their opponent.
