LARAMIE, Wyo. — Wyoming has hired former Cowboys basketball assistant Sundance Wicks away from Green Bay to fill its head coaching vacancy.

“You cannot put into words what it means for a kid from the country roads outside of Gillette to represent the state of Wyoming and the Cowboys as their new head basketball coach,” Wicks said in a statement. Wicks had inherited a Green Bay program that went 3-29 the year before his arrival. The 15-win improvement from 3-29 to 18-14 represented the ninth-biggest turnaround in NCAA Division I history.UConn back at No. 1 in AP Top 25 ahead of repeat bid in March Madness; Houston, Purdue, Iowa St next“If there is one thing, I learned growing up in Wyoming, it’s that when you honor the brown and gold, you are honoring so much more than just the University of Wyoming,” Wicks said.
