A Renewed Push for the Arena‑Auditorium
Wyoming’s basketball program is entering a pivotal phase as head coach Sundance Wicks seeks to restore the Arena‑Auditorium’s reputation as a daunting venue for opponents. After a breakthrough 2025‑26 campaign that saw the Cowboys finish inside the Top‑100 of the KenPom and Net rankings and secure a spot in the NIT, the team is banking on continuity and experience.
The core of that success returns intact. The Cowboys will field the same Core 4 — Naz Meyer, Gavin Gores, Khaden Bennett and Uriyah Rojas — who together accounted for half of the team’s offensive production last season. Adding big man Neil Summers, who completed a redshirt year, bolsters the frontcourt depth.
Equally important is the stability of the coaching staff. Wyoming has retained its entire bench, a decision highlighted by Senior Associate AD for Development Derek Gossler, who praised the staff’s community involvement and commitment to fan engagement.
Season ticket renewals for the 2026‑27 campaign are now open, offering a range of affordable options designed to make Cowboy basketball one of the most cost‑effective values in the Mountain West and nationally. New pricing tiers include reductions in 15 sections, with the revenue reinvested into student‑athlete resources and enhancements to the fan experience.
Ticket benefits include guaranteed seating for every home game, an exclusive rewards program and priority access to tournaments. Fans who attend at least 80 percent of home contests can lock in a 20 percent discount on men’s basketball tickets for the following season, encouraging consistent attendance while rewarding loyalty.
Purchasing tickets is flexible: supporters can order online, via email, by phone, or in person at the University of Wyoming Athletics Ticket Office, ensuring easy access for the growing fan base across Laramie and beyond.
