Univ. of WY Men’s Basketball Team To Scrimmage In Sheridan

The Wyoming Cowboy basketball team will hit the road for a pair of intra-squad scrimmages, with the Pokes heading to Sheridan on Saturday, October 2nd and Cheyenne on Saturday, October 9th.

Wyoming will also host a scrimmage in the Arena-Auditorium prior to the Cowboy football team’s contest against Fresno State, with a time that is to be determined on October 16th.
 
The events are free and open to the public and will also feature autographs with Cowboy players and coaches following the scrimmage.

Wyoming’s stop in Sheridan will take place at 2 p.m. on October 2nd inside the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome.

The Cowboys will then head to Storey Gymnasium the following Saturday, October 9 at 2 p.m.
 
“We are looking forward to making a tour of the State of Wyoming and letting people get a sneak peek of Cowboy basketball,” UW head coach Jeff Linder said. “We will make this an annual tradition and will visit different parts of the state each season.”
 
The Cowboys return nine letter-winners and three starters from a team that led the Mountain West in points per game and three-pointers per game.

Wyoming finished the season with a 14-11 record in Linder’s first season with the Brown and Gold.

Wyoming closed last season winning four of their last six games including taking San Diego State, who ranked No. 19 in the nation, to wire in the quarterfinals of the MW Tournament.
