Made it safely back to Wyoming today, too.
Flghts on time, luggage intact and everything. I didn’t know United had it in them!
I did think, though:
if I had stayed in K’ville and gone to the game, and if Wyoming had won, I’d probably have a fair number of our more faithful tracking me down for a ‘conversation’.
I see what you did there.

Heating up, drops another 3 in, and Bruce Pearl calls timeout. 31-25 Wyoming.

Wyoming
Has made their last 3 3-point attempts, and is shooting 4-7 from beyond the arc. Tennessee is 1-7.
Tennessee Fans: We win at teh Internet!
Wyoming is
58% from the field, 57% from 3, and 100% from the line.
That’s pretty good.

Good News? Wyoming is turning the ball over.
They’ve turned the ball over 9 times to the Vol’s 3. Vols are in the 1-and-1 next foul, and the Vols only have 5 PFs.

LATE whistle.
Very, very late. Offensive foul on the Vols, still down 6.

Vols get a foul, but misses the front end of a 1-and-1.

So, thoughts on whether this would work
Instead of having the guy faceguard the opponent taking the ball out of bounds, he stays in the same spot but turns around and watches the players trying to get free and moves his arms accordingly. That would look weird, but might it work?
