The elephant in the Wyoming game
Even though 3-point shooting is the elephant in the room for the first 4 conference games, there is another one in specifically the Wyoming game.
Wyoming has two players who are able (and were allowed) to back their defender down until they had a layup.
USU has no players that were able (or allowed) to stop that strategy.
In 2016, an emphasis was (supposed to be) made on players - offensively and defensively - not being allowed to "displace" their opponent.
Wyoming took advantage of that lack of enforcement last night. Probably close to half of their points came as a direct result of using that strategy.

Re: The elephant in the Wyoming game
Yup. Blatant disregard for the rules. The reason for Odom’s emotional outburst resulting in his T, IMO.
