It's a win against a good basketball program. However it was a very contentious game at home and with the opposition down 2 players. So no need to **** on the win like it was EKU we just struggled to beat. No need to act as though WVU did just beat a top 15 program without a handicap either. Compared to what this team is expected to be this year and what it has shown to be across the other 8 games, barely edging a depleted UConn squad at home is par for the course. This is not the 2010 team.
I would agree. This team needs an inside presence to force teams to defend the entire floor and not the 3 point line.

To change the subject a little, does anyone think if we beat Kent State Sunday that we may jump into the top 25? I know most people don’t care about rankings but I’d still like to see us get in.
Not unless a lot of teams lose in front of us. I would prefer to stay out of top 25 as the players start reading their headlines and would lose what little focus they have.

2 players down or not it was a good win and one that was needed, even if they had those 2 players it wouldn't have helped their 3 for 21 from 3.

yeah...why strive for anything! Achieve mediocrity by staying out of the picture. After all Allen 's vision for WVU sports is being ok is the goal! Wow. What a loser's attitude.

Digs like this are totally uncalled for, unnecessary, and insulting to the staff and many of our fans. Your attitude toward our staff (team, etc.??) is deplorable.
He spends majority of his time on a herd board.

Haven’t heard the word deplorable for a while. Wonder if that offends CFE like the word retard does?

All I'm saying is that it is not a disappointment like limping past a piss poor team you should easily beat by double digits and its also not like upsetting a top 10 Kansas level program either. It is not a game WVU should be super surprised or super pumped about winning nor one that WVU should be disappointed wasn't a crushing victory.

He loves numbers but certain words really bother him. “Retard” is just an example of one word that really gets under his skin.
Although not a great word to use and is demeaning he tends to over exaggerate everything. Then uses the same word himself when replying to others.

Ugly wins beat pretty losses every time, but you and I both know its not so black and white. Some wins, especially if there are more than a one off, are ugly against teams that should be easily handled it raises concerns for whether the problems are fixable before the meat of the conference schedule comes. You want to see a team easily handle a mildly depleted UConn level program at home in December if you hope the team has a chance of withstanding those 4-6 game runs against top 25 and/or tournament bound teams in January/February
