Freshman Arthur Bouedo (2) from Aix en Provence France, freshman A.J. Davis (51) from Columbus Ohio, junior Ryan Demody (5) from Loveland Colorado, junior Mahmoud Diakite (32) from Paris France, senior Brandon Ewing (23) from Chicago Illinois, senior Tyson Johnson (21) from Long Island New York, sophomore Mikhail Linskens (13) from Bredene Belgium, sophomore JayDee Luster (1) from San Diego California, freshman Afam Muojeke (11) from Jamaica Queens New York, senior Sean Ogirri (0) from Denver Colorado, sophomore Boubacar Sylla (33) from Paris France, freshman Galand Thaxton (12) from Laramie Wyoming, sophomore Djibril Thiam (25) from Dakar Senegal and freshman Adam Waddell (15) from Cody Wyoming.



For the 2008-2009 season, Luster and Sylla will sit out the entire season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules. Fortunately both are sophomores and have next year ahead of them. Thiam has had to sit out only the fall 2008 season for the same reason. From the sides, all three can get a firsthand look at coaches in action with the team. Head coach Heath Schroyer, assistant coach Fred Langley, assistant coach Shaun Vandiver, assistant coach Anthony Stewart and director of basketball operations Scott Willard.

The balance of the season presents opportunities for the Cowboys to show off their stuff against San Diego State on February 14, UNLV on February 18, TCU on February 21, Colorado State on February 25, Air Force on February 28, BYU on March 4 and New Mexico on March 7. With a majority of wins, the remaining games should prove to be interesting.

Wyoming's last game against the Utes was close but no cigar, but with Ewing's 18 points and Ogirri's 17 they fight on. This was their first loss at home in 11 games and as of Feb 7, 2009. They now tie with Colorado State in win-losses at in the Mountain West Conference in 7th standing with a 14-9 overall standing.

Their home, the Arena-Auditorium, built in 1982, sits at an elevated 7,220 feet and stands as one of the finest facilities in the region. This towering Arena known as the "Dome of Doom" by visiting teams seats well over 15,000 fans and was built specifically for their games. First ever played game was February 20, 1982 where the Cowboys rode over the Air Force 59-29 while being looked on by 15,004 screaming fans during that season's final home game. They've hosted the Western Athletic Conference Basketball Championship Tournaments for two years, in 1986 and in 1991.

Since the early 1920s the team's bucking horse and cowboy logo has represented the team and the university. It is a silhouette of a world famous horse, Steamboat and his rider Guy Holt. This horse, born 1901 was known as one of the greatest bucking horses. This team's logo also closely resembles the logo used on the state automobile license which was patterned from another famous bucking bronco, Deadman. These logos are very distinctive, well known throughout the nation and are deeply rooted in Wyoming's rich traditions and history.
