Bring on Wyoming. Larry Nance Jr cleared to play after an ACL tear in February. "The 6-foot-8 Nance has been named the Mountain West’s Preseason Player of the Year this year amid high expectations after his return. Wyoming also has high hopes of their own as a team, as they return four starters, including an experienced backcourt in senior guard Riley Grabau, junior guard Josh Adams. With Nance in the lineup, Wyoming was 17-9 last season before going 1-6 down the stretch without him. Adding Nance for the full season gives the Cowboys high aspirations for this season and they should contend for a postseason spot." collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/21/larry-nance-jr-cleared-to-play-for-wyoming/related/ |

Seven months ago Larry had some strong feelings on the topic of POY:
"Bairstow deserved POY... Everyone knows that"

Nance is good but X Thames was POY no question. NM had Kirk and Kendall williams helping him get points and opportunities. X was by himself.
Actually Nance made a ridiculous comment. Kevin Durant also made a ridiculous comment calling Kawhi's game simply a product of a "system".

I hope Winston gets POY and Nance comes in second after that ridiculous comment

Nance is a good player. I still remember that dunk over I think it was Tapley. Has above the rim ability like his daddy.

Really excellent player. Enjoyed watching him last season. Brings some much-needed punch to the MWC lineup.

With him Wyoming is very tough. A lot of other Wyoming players stepped up without him late last year. Now that he is back that experience will help make Wyoming a very good team. Our game at Wyoming will be one of the toughest we play this year. They play well at home and 7K+ has always been tough on the Aztecs. Although when we have won, we have had depth.
Wyoming's biggest problem last year was rebounding. They were last in the MWC in both offensive and defensive rebounding percentages by a wide margin. To be a really good they must find a way to rebound better.
When Nance was injured, Wyoming was 8-5 in the MWC. They were done playing UNLV, UNM, and SDSU. Both their games against New Mexico went to OT. If they won those 2 games, which wouldn't take much, they would have been 10-3 and in second place.

Wyoming could very easily take 2nd place in the conference this year.

Nance is a hell of a player.....but I wouldn't say he's a hell of a tweeter. Lobo fans think he's classy though, so...........

Nance is a hell of a player.....but I wouldn't say he's a hell of a tweeter. Lobo fans think he's classy though, so........... He lost to Bairstow twice and Cam had very good games both time. He beat Thames once and Thames had a very bad game. So maybe his vision of the two players is skewed by those experiences. |

I hope Winston gets POY and Nance comes in second after that ridiculous comment I hope Winston or The Pope dunks on him. Man that would be great to see. |

I hope they come in last place. Can't stand those needy f'ers coming in here wanting attention from daddy. I'm ready for some basketball, steamroll the goats and the desert clowns. We run this conference. |
