Team #123 - Wyoming

On Saturday, December 17th, 2022, I saw my 123rd Division One College Basketball teams. On this occasion, I saw the Wyoming Cowboys take on the Dayton Flyers. Wyoming is the 2nd team that I have seen out of the Mountain West. Wyoming has a 5-5 record on the year. They most recently played Louisiana Tech and they won 92-65. The leading scorer for the Cowboys is Hunter Maldonado and he is averaging 13.6 PPG. Dayton has a 6-5 record on the year. The 6-5 record is certainly a disappointing start to the season for the Flyers. Dayton was ranked as high as #21 earlier in the year but injuries have hurt the Flyers early in the year. The Flyers most recently played UNC Asheville and they won 79-56. The leading scorer for the Flyers is potential NBA prospect Daron Holmes II. The 6'10" center is average 16.6 PPG this season. I have seen Dayton twice before. These were at the 2015 NCAA Tournament in Columbus, OH. To this day I have no idea why Dayton was playing as an 11 seed in Ohio. Poor Providence. 

This game reminded me how much I hate Dayton. Dayton would dominate this game from start to finish. At the half the Flyers would be up 35-21. DaRon Holmes was the best player on the floor by a long shot and had 24 points. The Flyer would win 66-49.
