Re: Wyoming- Game Thread
My mom is listening in western SD and the radio announcers said Wyoming would host the next game Sunday at 2. Granted they may be assuming stuff but that is what the wyoming radio guys said. I hope we host but thought I'd pass it along. -

Re: Wyoming- Game Thread
As my sister from Rapid City told me after tonights game, the Cowgirls draw pretty well because there is nothing else for the cowboys to do in Wyoming.

Re: Wyoming- Game Thread
Looking on Wyoming's roster and noticed 3 players from Australia, one being Hanna Zavecz who seems to be their best player. All of them playing at the Australia Institute of Sport before coming over to the US to play college basketball. I know that program pretty well as I just got back this fall from working at the Institute for a year as a Exercise Physiologist. That program brings in the best young players (16-18 yrs old) from around Australia and grooms them for their National and Olympic Teams. Some other players that have come from the program are Luc Longely (former Chicago Bull), Andrew Bogut (Milwaukee Buck and NCAA player of the year), and Lauren Jackson (WNBA MVP a couple of years ago).Comment

Re: Wyoming- Game Thread
The biggest concern I have about the Wyoming game is Laramie itself. The city is located at an altitude of 7000 feet - with the home team VERY used to playing in the "thin" air.Comment

Re: Wyoming- Game Thread
7,362 watch Cowgirls advance in WNIT
By AUSTIN WARD
Star-Tribune staff writer Friday, March 23, 2007
LARAMIE n They’re not done yet.
And the Cowgirls said there was never a doubt.
Even if they knew it, the Cowgirls made a record-crowd of 7,362 fans at the Arena-Auditorium sweat it out, coming from behind and holding on for a thrilling 64-62 win over Oregon in the third round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament.
Wyoming advances to the quarterfinals and will host South Dakota State, a 60-53 winner over Indiana, at 2 p.m. on Sunday at the Double-A.
“We believed throughout the whole game,” UW forward Justyna Podziemska said. “We just tried to keep our intensity up.
“It was up and down and they took a lead, but we knew the game would come down to the last four minutes.”
It really boiled down to the last 20 seconds after the Cowgirls (24-9) gave away a lead they had to wrestle from the Ducks (17-14) earlier in the second half.
Oregon tied the score at 62 with a five-straight points and a 3-pointer by Taylor Lilley with 16 seconds left, but UW responded with a wild press-break that led to a wide-open game-winning lay-up by Hanna Zavecz.
“Everybody was pressing up and all of a sudden Hanna’s running free down the sideline,” UW coach Joe Legerski said. “It’s just players playing hard, both teams trying to make a play, and Hanna ended up breaking free.
“Hanna was once again a spark plug for us -- she just seems to excel in postseason play.”
The junior forward kept the Cowgirls' postseason alive with the late basket but admitted she wasn’t even sure how she got so open -- “I just ran,” she said -- for what she called the most pressure-packed layup she’s attempted.
“I was just trying to get down court,” Zavecz said. “I was open, and as soon as I got the ball I thought that I better not miss it.”
She didn’t, and the shot capped off a game-high 18 points for Zavecz and provided the winning margin. The Cowgirls forced Eleanor Haring to take an off-balance jumper at the buzzer that bounced harmlessly off the rim.
“We talk about playing 40 minutes, and you have to play 40 minutes every night,” Legerski said. “I thought we did that tonight.
“At this point right now, you just have to find ways to win to keep playing. We had to make a couple stops at the end, and give Oregon credit, they stepped up and hit two big 3-pointers that we were trying to take away. We ended up getting that one defensive stop, and we kept attacking at the end.”
The Cowgirls kept attacking and firing up 3-pointers after the Ducks opened a four-point lead in the second half n the first time UW trailed in the WNIT since the 15:53 mark of its opener against Nevada n responding with a 12-0 run behind three-straight 3-pointers by Podziemska.
“This feels good,” Zavecz said. “That was awesome.
“I don’t know how to put it into words.”
But the Cowgirls knew it all along.

Re: Wyoming- Game Thread
Also from the Casper Star Tribune:
PLAYER OF THE GAME
Justyna Podziemska
w POINTS: 14; w REBOUNDS: 8; w STEALS: 1.
w SHOOTING: 5-for-14 from the floor and 4-of-10 from 3-point range.
w BEYOND THE STATS: It wasn’t her finest performance of the WNIT, but the junior delivered when it mattered most. Hanna Zavecz led UW with 18 points, but Podziemska’s 3-point binge in the second half turned Oregon’s four-point lead into an eight-point margin in favor of the Cowgirls en route to their third-round victory.
w OREGON’s BEST: Taylor Lilley buried three big 3-pointers n including a game-tying triple with 16 seconds left n and scored 11 points for the Ducks and added a pair of assists and steals.
TURNING POINT
9:49 to play, second half
w SCORE: Oregon led 46-42.
w WHAT HAPPENED: Megan McGuffey stopped thinking. The sophomore guard finally didn’t pass up an open look, burying a 3-pointer from the right wing.
w AFTER THAT: McGuffey’s triple ignited a 12-0 run that gave the Cowgirls a 54-46 lead with six minutes left and UW held on to advance to the quarterfinals of the WNIT.
[ch65533] AND QUOTE
“It was still tied. It wasn’t like we were losing.”
UW forward Justyna Podziemska after Oregon’s Taylor Lilley buried a 3-pointer to knot the score with 16 seconds left.
FREE THROWS
n FROM THE LINE: Neither team had much success getting to the charity stripe.
In a game that can best be described as loosely officiated, Oregon and Wyoming combined for just 14 attempts from the free-throw line and 21 fouls in a contest that was physical on both ends of the floor.
“I thought the game was played very well defensively,” UW coach Joe Legerski said. “When the game’s played well defensively, there’s not a lot of people going to the free-throw line.”
The Cowgirls made six of their nine attempts from the line n where they’ve lived throughout the WNIT n while the Ducks on got to the charity stripe five times, making four.
n MORE THE MERRIER: UW fans set a Cowgirls' record with 7,362 attendees on Thursday night at the Arena-Auditorium.
Legerski said the vocal crowd was the difference down the stretch, giving the Cowgirls an edge in advancing past the third round and giving UW fans another chance to support the squad on Sunday.
“I can’t say enough about the Wyoming fans,” Legerski said. “To have that many fans here on a Thursday night is a tribute to what they bring.
“I thought that was the difference in the ballgame tonight. Their enthusiasm kept us going.”
UW announced after the game that the ticket office is once again open for business, as the Cowgirls host South Dakota State at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
n LET [ch65533]EM PLAY: Maybe the noise drowned out the whistles.
Despite an extremely physical first half, the officials called just seven fouls between the two teams, and UW shot the only two free throws of the half.
Hanna Zavecz made one of two attempts after getting fouled with 5:11 to play in the opening stanza n just the fourth foul of the game to that point -- to give the Cowgirls a 27-21 lead.
n ALL TIED UP: In a game that alternately looked like football or volleyball games, the first half had a bit of rugby flair n and not just because it featured four Australians.
The Ducks and Cowgirls had three scrums in the first seven minutes n and four total in the first half n that resulted in held balls.Comment
