I said this during the Texas game. We will not win another game in the regular season. We will be in the NIT. Which is better than last year, but a disappointment for this year. This team should be in the BIg Dance.
NIT...NIT...NIT....
- Thread starter WVU_98_rivals
- Start date
+1
The primitive offense they run and general lack of enthusiasm/fun being had by the players (looks on their faces) leads me to believe that they will lose to Iowa State, Baylor, their first-round opponent in the B12 Tourney and whoever they play in the NIT. If I had to substitute one of those games for a win, maybe the first round NIT team could be overwhelmed by playing in the Coliseum (if we are at home) but the way things are going, I doubt it. I fully expect 3-4 players who have eligibility next year to not be here so if you're looking for a reason to be optimistic, we'll be able to claim we are one of the youngest teams in the country. As the kids say, epic fail.
Or a play in team?
Doesn't matter what seed we get or NIT it's a first round loss.
100% chance of making the tournament regardless of the last two games.
Teams finishing the season horrible and still making a run isn't uncommon.
Just matters what buttons Huggins is pushing.
That team showed a lot of fight today.
I don't care what anyone says. They didn't throw in the towel.
I'll take your invitation. Let's attempt to discuss in a civil manner.
But now that you jigged, let's summarize.
15 wins last year - 3.87 mill
19 wins this season - 3.87 mill
You seem to "fancy yourself" as the "righteous protector" of this site, but you probably provide more damage
to WVU by not having "the guts"
to address the truth.
But we all see it,
nothing "we say here" can change the obvious.
Drive on, bro
Lov doesn't make us STUPID, or does it?.

For those who don't know how weak the bubble is this year....

Big 12
Locks: Baylor, Kansas, West Virginia
Should be in
Texas Tech Red Raiders
Suddenly Texas Tech has lost two straight, and this formerly formidable offense is no longer scoring points. The Red Raiders’ projected seed has dropped to a spot on the No. 8 line as Chris Beard’s men have put just 109 points on the board over 130 possessions in losses at Oklahoma and at home against Texas. In those 80 minutes, Texas Tech converted less than 38% of its 2-point attempts, and Red Raider second chances became vanishingly rare. A visit to Baylor is next on the agenda, and that doesn’t seem likely to cure what ails a struggling offense.
Work to do
Oklahoma Sooners
Lon Kruger’s team has effectively turned its profile around over the past two games. With wins at home over Texas Tech and on the road at West Virginia, the Sooners have gone from a team that was trending its way out of the tournament field to one that, at 18-11, looks to be in good shape. Oklahoma was projected as a No. 11 seed in advance of its game against the Mountaineers, and the team’s top-50 NET ranking will now climb a bit higher. The Sooners will host Texas and then close the season at TCU, and OU is entering that closing stretch in far better shape than the Watch could have imagined just a week ago.
Texas Longhorns
Texas is not in the projected field yet, but no team — not UCLA, not Providence, not Arizona State, no team — has recorded a more dramatic and, yes, surprising rise to bubble status than the Longhorns. Shaka Smart is down to a handful of healthy players, and starters Jericho Sims and Jase Febres are still sidelined with injuries, none of which has prevented UT from winning four in a row and capping off that run with a profile-altering 68-58 victory at Texas Tech. The win in Lubbock, which will improve a NET ranking that was in the 60s, takes its place alongside ones at Purdue and at home against West Virginia as the highlights of an 18-11 season so far. With games at Oklahoma and at home against Oklahoma State remaining, Texas is on the cusp of playing its way into the field.

That is today. Wait until we lose the next 2 plus lose in the 1st round of the B12 tourney. We will be OUT!
I hope we can win the next 2 and i will be watching. However, it isnt5 going to be easy

WVU WILL be in March Madness.
Have you checked the records of the top 25 teams. There's ONE HUNRED AND FORTY THREE LOSSES among the top 25 in the coaches poll! That's an average of about SIX LOSSES per team among the best 25 teams in the country! So should 20 of the top 25 teams' fans demand that their coaches be fired? Get real! I am as unhappy and dismayed as you are at WVU falling off the cliff and losing 6 of 7 games. But it's not a rarity this season. Not when the 25 best teams have lost 143 times!!! That's why this may be the zaniest March Madness ever. And that a team like my alma mater is as likely to win it all as any of the top 25 teams that have lost 143 times already. So what makes you think those top 25 teams won't lose again in March Madness? I support my alma mater, my family and my country through thick and thin. Loyalty is at the core of my being. I don't jump on and off the bandwagon. They need me more when the going is rough than when the sailing is smooth. So does your family, your team and your country. People who prefer a thumbs-up over a middle finger, statistics show, lead longer and happier lives. It takes a better person to support their team during losing stretches than it does to support their team during winning stretches. Which are you?

I am posting this as a serious question so please consider it and reply with candor. At what point (if ever) would you stop supporting Coach Huggins? Would it take another DUI? Maybe if he had a serious heart attack? Maybe if next year's squad again misses the tournament? Maybe if we have a significant number of kids transfer out? I ask because there are many (and I believe you to be one) people here that will go down with the U.S.S. Huggy Bear and if that is the case, I should treat your posts a little differently knowing that.
Maybe CBI or whatever? Huggs is needed for his name to recruits, but hes about 3 years, most definitely this past offseason late on hiring a younger assistant, an offensive mind that understands shooting, or at least today's game and that it is not 1980s or early 90s in the big east where the team that can bench the most wins. Somebody to teach what he cant, and offset the way he treats his players and plays favorites, and that he would actually listen to, like some guys you see coach K have, except he treats his players better. Which that person probably doesnt even exist.
Another lame reply from a fan of a team that will be paying to play again. Huggins is here until 2022, WVU is in dance. Next dumbass reply from a turd coming soon.
They are. Just like WVU being 50 to start the season does not mean they didn't utterly screw the proverbial pooch by going 5-8 the last 13 games after going 14-2 to start the season. Currently they are not playing better than last years squad, but they have had a better season. Unfortunately it is far more surprising that they've collapsed so much and not really improved one iota in terms of backcourt play since the OOC schedule than that they are having a better year than last season. The OOC is supposed to be where things are worked out before the conference slate, yet these guys overall look terrible compared to then.

I'm quivering
about the penalty for taking truth.
I nervous.
Ps...I confounded on which is worse;
watching West Virginia Virginia basketball or bantering with Mr Allen
(was going to say Ms Allen, but did not
on the concern that someone's ego is fragile)

I'll support whomever is coaching the Mountaineers (unless it is that dumbass Dakich or however you spell his name).
With that being said, when this team loses their next 3 games, we will not be in the BIg Dance.
No team that isn't .500 in their conference doesn't deserve to be in unless they win their conference tourney.

The Herd will not be paying to play. Eers will be dancing but not at a lofty level.
So the herd is not going anywhere this year. Did they go broke last year in the CTI? It takes $100,000 or 10,000 miles to get college basketball's fourth-best trophy.
Thing is WVU fans know where we stand. We don't accept it unlike little brother.
Sorry All, you all waste to much time
talking on the Thundering Herd.
(Constantly shooting low).
Back to subject at hand,
losing (especially embarrassing losses) is not entertainment.
Huggins is not paid what he's paid to be a basketball coach. He's paid to entertain.
So how'd that pay to play turn out last year for the neers? Didn't they get boatraced by some Charleston team by about 40 at home.
Well, he's not coaching and it certainly isn't entertaining. He ought to give about $2M back.
You should slip mofo dong a little deeper in the throat so you don't have to worry about typing ignorant replies.
?Is "Teddy" your 1st name?
I thought "you are"
Polishing free throws at Nebraska?
How'd that happen?
