BUZZER BEATER (CBI Style): Wyoming Shoots Down Lehigh

Lehigh may have been the darlings of last year's NCAA Tournament upsetting Duke in the second round.  This year the Mountain Hawks were one and done in the CBI.

Nathan Sobey's corner three as time expired was a winner for Wyoming.





"We wanted the other guards to spot up in the corners and Nate (Sobey) was able to knock it down.
It’s nice to have a shot fall like that for us at the end." Wyoming head coach Larry Shyatt said.

Sobey finished with 12 points.  The Cowboys were led by Luke Martinez with 25 points, Larry Nance, Jr. added 21 for Wyoming.

The Pokes move on to the quarterfinal round of the CBI to face the winner of the Western Michigan/North Dakota State game.

ICYMI: Wyoming Head Coach suspeneded for going off on AIr Force Coach

It's probably not a good idea to go off on a profanity laden tirade against the Coach of a military academy during Military Appreciation night.

Yet that is what University of Wyoming head coach Dave Christensen did Thursday night after his team was beaten by Air Force.

What made it worse....it was caught on video.

And for that reason, Christensen earned a suspension for his next game.

Nobody is exactly sure what set him off at the end of a hard-fought 28-27 loss by the Cowboys but it's abundantly clear, he ain't happy.

What we found humorous in a story on the Cheyenne Tribune website quoting assistant coach Pete Kaligis. Kaligis told the paper "The program Christensen installed is a well-oiled machine. It rolls"

The Cowboys are 1-6 this season.

The University's Athletic Director said he's not decided on Christensen's future...yet. But this probably isn't a good omen. The school has invested quite a bit of money in the coach, hoping he turn around the Cowboy program.

And while yeah, sure, he was ticked because he thought Air Force coach Troy Calhoun had one of his players fake an injury to buy time, it's still in no way shape or form an excuse for what happened.
