It was his third surgery on the knee in the last three years. Muojeke averaged 2.2 points and 1.3 rebounds in seven minutes per game. He posted a season-high nine points versus Maryland Eastern Shore on Nov. 26 in a season-high 13 minutes of action.
2010-11: Muojeke began the 2010-11 season on the path to recovery from a torn patellar tendon in his left knee, an injury that ended his sophomore season prematurely. After spending the summer of 2010 rehabbing, he was healthy enough to begin his junior season with his teammates. He played in nine of Wyoming's first 10 games and contributed in each of those games. He then missed three consecutive games leading up to the Christmas break to give his knee some extra rest. He returned for the final non-conference game of the season as well as UW's first MW game at Colorado State on Jan. 4. After knocking down three three pointers in the first half, his knee swelled. That was the last game he would play all season as it was discovered he tore the meniscus in his left knee and had to undergo surgery. Prior to the injury, Muojeke played in 11 games with four starts. He averaged 7.7 points and 2.4 rebounds a game. He had three double-figure scoring games--14 vs. Kean (Nov.13), 14 at South Dakota (Dec. 1) and 10 vs. Indiana State (Dec. 4). 2009-10: Muojeke was enjoying a very good sophomore season, ranking second in the MW in scoring with 17.9 points per game, until the Cowboys traveled to BYU on Jan. 20. Just eight minutes into the game, Muojeke ruptured the patellar tendon in his left knee. He had surgery on the knee on Jan. 27 and missed the final 12 games of the season. Muojeke's season came to an end with him averaging 16.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.4 assists per game. He scored in double figures in 13 of 16 games and reached at least 15 points in all 13 of those games. He scored a season-best 30 points in UW's win over San Diego State, missing his career high by just one point. In that game, he helped the Cowboys come back from a 17-point deficit by scoring 12 points in the final 5:11 of the game. His best shooting game of the season came against South Dakota, as he hit a career high five three pointers. He had a career high five steals against Adams State. Muojeke reached the 500-point plateau for his young career against Boise State. He reached 500 points in just 36 games and ended his sophomore season with 723 career points. Those 723 points are the sixth most in Wyoming history by a player following their sophomore year and the 10th most by a player during their first two years at UW. Prior to his season-ending injury, Muojeke missed three games early in the season with a sore knee--vs. Monmouth, Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount. Those were the first missed games of his career. 2008-09: Muojeke had a tremendous freshman season, which was highlighted by his selection as the MW's Freshman of the Year (which was voted on by the league's head coaches and media members). He was also selected as an Honorable Mention All-Freshman by Collegehoops.net, becoming one of only 34 freshman in the nation to be recognized. Finally, he was named an All-Freshman by Rivals.com for all conferences outside the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big XII, Pac 10 and SEC. Muojeke was the top freshman in the MWC in both scoring and rebounding, averaging 13.8 points and 5.3 rebounds a game. Those were the 12th and 10th best overall averages in the MWC. By scoring 454 points on the season, Muojeke turned in the best scoring season by a freshman in MWC history. He broke his teammate Brandon Ewing's record of 420 points, which was set during the 2005-06 season. Muojeke's 175 rebounds were the seventh most by a freshman in MWC history. Muojeke's rebounding drastically improved over the final 14 games of the season, as he pulled down 98 rebounds for an average of 7.0 per game during that stretch. In UW's previous 19 games, Muojeke had 77 rebounds for an average of 4.1 per game. In the Cowboys' home win over Air Force, Muojeke recorded his first career double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. In UW's home win over Colorado State, Muojeke had the second best scoring performance of his career with 25. He also blocked a career high two shots. He set the tone for his spectacular freshman season right out of the blocks, as he scored a career high 31 points in UW's season opening win over Cal State Bakersfield, which was his first career college game. Those 31 points against CSUB tie for the 15th best individual scoring performance in Arena-Auditorium history. In the game, he made 15 free-throws, which are the fourth most in a single game in Arena-Auditorium history and a tie for the ninth most in school history. Those free throws also set an MWC record for most free throws made by a freshman. On the season, Muojeke played in all 33 games and started 31. He scored in double figures 22 times. 2007-08: Muojeke redshirted.
