“It’s better than being 200. I’ll take 12. It’s a credit to our players. It’s hard to schedule at Wyoming. You’re not going to get Arizona to come play at Wyoming. You’re not going to get Washington to come play at Wyoming. As much as people think that should happen, that will not happen.” - Jeff Linder on his team’s rank of number 12 in the NET rankings.

 

 

“I think Oregon State has some talent. They’re just trying to find themselves right now. It’s our first time being on the road. We played one game basically in the last two weeks. So maybe it took us a little bit to get our feet underneath us, but I’m really proud of how our bench came in and changed the game, pressuring defensively and making some things happen.” - Tommy Lloyd on his team’s win against Oregon State.
