Wyom/UW
- Thread starter walleyek
- Start date
No idea... I cant find any news on injuries or suspensions ( didn't try THAT hard) If washington is gettin points maybe more then 3.. hop on it. Wymoning has played no one and there only competition was Coll of Charleston and they lost. Wyoming is 0-3 ATS and only have wins over Denver,Alasaka Anchorage, and Loy Marymount. Washington is 1-2 ATS 0-3 SU but have played MUCH MUCH tuffer teams. Tough loss to Montana St, blown out at UNLV and lost a close game to the Zags in OT. I'de say Washington probably will be laying 3 or 4? And at that line I'de pass. IF they are gettin points I like washington (but I doubt they will get points at home)
couple of players for wyoming ??(in bold below)
====
LARAMIE ? David Adams played for its biggest rival. Ryan Wildenborg grew up 30 minutes from the middle of campus.
Both University of Wyoming men?s basketball players have ties to the University of Washington and the surrounding area.
They grew up near Seattle ? Adams in Tacoma and Wildenborg in Kirkland. Adams played for Washington State his freshman and sophomore seasons; Washington heavily recruited Wildenborg out of high school.
Neither ended up at Washington. Adams played two seasons at Washington State; Wildenborg went to Minnesota. Both transferred to UW last season.
They say they don?t hold any grudges, but they would like to play well in front of family and friends when UW plays Washington at 8 p.m. today at Bank of America Arena in Seattle.
?It will be nice having family and friends who can come and watch me play,? said Wildenborg, a 6-foot-10 junior center. ?Some of them haven?t seen me play since high school.?
For Adams, tonight?s game will be a reunion of sorts.
?It?s not the Washington State-Washington rivalry, it?s more the Tacoma boys versus the Tacoma boys rivalry because Washington has a few people who were in my high school league,? said Adams, a junior guard.
Washington junior guards Curtis Allen, a starter, and C.J. Massingale are both from Tacoma. Adams also knows a couple other Washington players from the Seattle area.
Wildenborg and Adams, who both come off the bench for UW, may play a large role in this game.
UW senior center Uche Nsonwu-Amadi?s sprained right knee is still sore, and he is questionable for tonight. That could mean more playing time for Wildenborg, who is averaging only four minutes per game.
Adams is coming off his best game for UW in its 72-65 victory over Loyola-Marymount in the fourth-place game at the Great Alaska Shootout last Saturday. He scored a career-high seven points in the Cowboys? victory.
?It would be nice to play well in front of my family,? he said. ?I?m not worrying about that too much; I?m worried about winning.?
A win for UW (3-1) over a Pac-10 Conference school on the road would look good in the eyes of the NCAA Tournament committee. A loss to winless Washington (0-3) and UW could be off the national map for a long while.
Former Washington player Lorenzo Romar is in his first season as the school?s coach. The Huskies started slow with a three-point home loss to Montana State and a 21-point blowout loss at UNLV.
But Monday the Huskies lost 95-89 in overtime at national power Gonzaga. So the potential is there for the Huskies to break out and play well.
Junior forward Doug Wrenn is considered one of the best players in the West, and sophomore guard Will Conroy scored 32 points against Gonzaga.
?Wrenn is going to play in the NBA, and he?s definitely a great player,? UW coach Steve McClain said. ?Allen is very talented, quick and can really shoot the 3-pointer.
?So many people are paying attention to Wrenn and Allen that they were ignoring Conroy, but he?s averaging 19 points a game. They?re definitely a talented team. They have all the things they need to be good.?
n Free throws: UW senior forward Marc Bailey (ankle and illness) is expected to start tonight. ? Washington will play at UW next season to complete a home-and-home series. ? Washington leads the series 10-3, but the teams haven?t played since Dec. 29, 1978. ? UW was ranked 40th in this week?s AP poll and got just one vote in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll. ? Bailey is 14 points shy of 1,300 in his career. ? The NCAA still has not notified UW about junior forward Mory Correa. He missed the first four games while serving a suspension for playing on a pro team this summer in Europe where some players were paid.

Just who is UW here? Kinda funny when Wyoming plays Washington they refer to one as "UW".
FWIW, Washington has had some problems with fouling this season. In their last 2 games, their opponent has gone to the line 82 times.
