Last season, previous Wyoming basketball head coach Jeff Linder exhaustingly lamented the lack of attendance and support for his team that ended the season 15-17. In fourteen home games last season, the Cowboys only drew an average of 3,937 fans to an arena that can seat over 11,000.
This year’s new head man, Sundance Wicks, famous for his catchphrase “bring your own juice,” knows the importance of filling out the 11,612 seats surrounding Maury Brown court at the Arena-Auditorium. Wicks especially wants to see the student section filled out, even designating the lower bleachers of the student section the “juicebox” when he invited students via email to a pep rally to kick off the 2024-2025 season with an opportunity to meet and interact with a new-look Cowboy basketball squad that features 11 new faces and only five returning players from a year ago.
