“This is the most challenging season I have ever witnessed as an athletics director,” said University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman. “Numerous injuries to key players have forced a few remaining veterans and our young players to have to shoulder the load. Our players and coaches need all the support we can give them to show how much we appreciate their efforts.
“Thanks go to Maury Brown of Cheyenne for sponsoring the 2,000 comp tickets. I also want to thank all of our fans for their support. Wednesday will be an opportunity to thank the young men in our basketball program for battling through a difficult situation. We invite all who care about UW Athletics to come join us.”
