Wyoming is back and is going to...be better than last year.  The pundits have W.Y.O. as anywhere from 2nd to 6th place in the Mountain West, but frankly I am ready to see what happens.

I already vote Larry Nance, Jr. as the national player of the year.

Last year was supposed to be a disaster but turned out to be glorious.  This year is supposed to be glorious so...

The only thing I know for certain is Rick Barnes offense will be as horrible as ever.

Wyoming's coach was a Barnes assistant back in the day.  Wyoming doesn't do offense that well either.

I used to prefer defensive roundball.  John Beilein has cured me of that.  Dunno if Michigan can reload a third time, though.  The team could be great, but could be meh.  For the third straight year, it is younger than the team before it.

Wyoming starts off the season with a win against mighty Northern Colorado 78-70.  If they keep this up and score more points than their opponents then Wyoming will win out the rest of the season.

I still prefer good defence that turns into great transition offence.  But I have to admit watching Michigan play has been a fun ride the last few years.  Looking forward to seeing how they look this year.

Wright state starts off 2-0. They'll blow the Horizon league though.

UK has a pretty good team.  They might be able to put together a respectable season this year.

:lol:

#1 Sean Miller is off the bench all the way out to the 3 point line, where an official has to see him.

#2 it is 4-0 and less than 3 minutes into a game against UC Irvine

What a douche

Miller is a bit of a spaz at times. And I bet the official did NOT see him, in fact. Why would the center official be looking there - there aren't any players there, and he has an active matchup in the post.

Did you see Hollis-Jefferson dunk over their 7'6" center?

Unless his peripheral vision wasn't working, he had to notice a dude in a suit to his left.

Not really. He has the ball in his area of the court, and the active match up is in his primary coverage area. And there aren't any players out there, so you pretty much are focused on what is happening right there.

Miller is on and off the court rather quickly. I am rather certain the official didn't see him, in fact. His head never moves.

The opposite side official might have seen him looking through the play.

But this is one of those weird things that should never happen, hence the mechanics don't have any means of catching it - the entire point of mechanics is to try to ensure that the officials are NOT looking at parts of the court that don't matter.

He might have seen something out of his peripheral, but he isn't going to take his eyes of the play.
