That was a momentum killer. We were still down by a few points at that particular point. Conversely, because of the mistake by Carter, it completely flipped the table on us and UVA was able to run away with it. We looked lost after Javon went to the bench. I really can't blame Huggins for sitting him the rest of the half, even though I probably would've brought him back in once UVA really started pulling away. Hopefully he learns from the mistake. This team reminds me a lot of last years one. Great in the full court press and rebounding on both ends of the floor. We turn people over and convert their sloppiness into points. WVU is good, if not great, when we are in control or have a sizable lead where we can press and control the flow. Huggins system works wonders when the press is dictating the game to WVU's favor. However, once we start falling behind, all the sudden the jump shots stop seem going in, we start turning the ball over and go periods without scoring a basket. Not to mention we don't convert FT's when needed. This team just isn't built for comebacks of ten points or more. UVA knew they could double Williams and take chances when he kicked out to our guards. They knew they could force Macon baseline and get him to pick up his dribble. Once UVA figured out how to deconstruct the Huggins' press and get it to their tempo it was pretty much all she wrote. The high-low play to Gill killed us all game. It's still too early to tell with this team, but I can't really see us competing for a Big 12 title or getting past the Sweet 16 if we play the way we played tonight. I loved the first eighteen minutes, but the remaining twenty-two minutes is something I'd much rather forget about.</blockquote>
