What We Know About Wyoming's 2024-25 Basketball Schedule
LARAMIE — Sundance Wicks has assembled a new staff and inked seven new faces in just two short months on the job.
Wyoming’s new men’s basketball coach has been a busy man.
Now the focus can shift to scheduling, an art that can seem downright impossible around these parts. Just ask former bench boss Jeff Linder, who often expressed his frustration about compiling the annual non-conference slate, especially securing games inside Laramie’s Arena-Auditorium.
That won’t be as big of a challenge this year thanks to the balanced schedule rolled out by the Mountain West Conference. Now all 12 member institutions will faceoff at home and away, adding an additional marquee game in Laramie.
What else do we know?
Wyoming, as of now, has six non-league home tilts already under contract, per a public records request obtained by 7220sports.com. That is highlighted by a visit from longtime rival BYU. The Cougars will pay a visit to the high plains Dec. 7, making the return trip to Laramie as part of a home-and-home series. The Cowboys lost to BYU 94-68 last December in Provo.
These two will meet again in 2025, this time in the Marriott Center.
Wicks and Co. will also take part in the Cancun Challenge, a three-game series that will begin on Maury Brown Court and culminate with two meetings inside the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya Convention Center. The Cowboys will host Southeastern Louisiana on Friday, Nov. 22. The pair of contests in Mexico will take place Nov. 26 and 27. Those opponents are to be determined.
Wyoming is also supposed to play a road game at Texas Tech this season as part of Linder’s buyout after he accepted a job as a top assistant in Lubbock. Final details have yet to be ironed out, per a source familiar with the situation.
Here’s the rest:
Saturday, Nov. 10 — Tennessee State — 1 p.m. — Laramie (UW football bye week)
Saturday, Nov. 16 — Utah Tech — TBD — Laramie (UW football plays at CSU Friday)
Friday, Nov. 22 — Southeastern Louisiana — TBD — Laramie (UW football hosts Boise State Saturday)
Tuesday, Nov. 26 — Cancun Challenge — TBD — Cancun, Mexico
Wednesday, Nov. 27 — Cancun Challenge — TBD — Cancun, Mexico
Tuesday, Dec. 3 — Portland — TBD — Laramie
Saturday, Dec. 7 — BYU — TBD — Laramie (MW football title game Friday)
Thursday, Dec. 19 — Bellarmine — TBD — Laramie
University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players
The rules are simple: What was the player’s impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.
This isn’t a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220’s Cody Tucker are Robert Gagliardi, Jared Newland, Ryan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.
We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS — only we hope this catalog is fairer.

DUBOIS, Wyo. — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department recently announced that, after consultation with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, it successfully captured and relocated an adult male grizzly bear on April 25.
A release from Game and Fish says that the grizzly was captured for cattle depredation on private land in Park County. In cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as the Shoshone National Forest, the grizzly was relocated to the Wiggins Fork drainage, approximately 19 miles south of Dubois, Wyoming.
The release notes that grizzly bears are relocated in accordance with state and federal law and regulation, and Game and Fish is required to update the public whenever a grizzly bear is relocated.
“Grizzly bear relocation is a management tool large carnivore biologists use to minimize conflicts between humans and grizzly bears,” the release states. “Bears that are considered a threat to human safety are not relocated. In some cases, a bear may be removed from the population if it cannot be relocated successfully.”
The release says that capture is necessary when other deterrents or preventative options are exhausted or unattainable. Once the animal is captured, all circumstances are taken into account when determining if the grizzly should be relocated. If relocation is deemed necessary, a site is determined by considering the age, sex and type of conflict that the bear was involved in, as well as potential human activity near the location.
“Grizzly bears are only relocated into the recovery zone or adjacent areas,” the release states. “With any relocation, Game and Fish consults with appropriate agencies to minimize the chance of future conflicts and maximize the relocated grizzly bear’s survival.”
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department continues to stress the importance of the public’s responsibility when it comes to bear management and the importance of keeping all attractants — including food, garbage, horse feed and birdseed — unavailable to bears. Reducing attractants to bears reduces human–bear conflicts and, in some cases, relocation.
