Oakland vs. West Virginia
- Thread starter wvpaper
- Start date
Not watching the game, but 20/48 from the field is so-so, but 4/17 from 3 and 7/13 from free throw lone is not great nor indicative of the great shooting Huggins was touting.
Told ya about Culver, and am glad that because Huggins said it, you finally believe it. His rebounding AND inside scoring will be missed.
Miss his rebounding more than his scoring. Hs would miss more layups and put backs than a 5th grader. His defense/rim protection was horrible. His foul shooting disgraceful. He scored points from the foul line by shooting 12 of 22. His rebounding is the biggest part being missed.
Tell me who WVU has to replace Culver's inside scoring, Allen. One of Huggins' favorite sayings is that he wants his team to be able to score it "close" to the basket. Culver was often able to do this when WVU needed a bucket. He averaged 14.3 points a game, and was first team All-Big 12. Tell me who replaces him. I'll wait.
Tell me how Culver got his points? He got his points from rebounds and put backs if he actually made them and getting to the foul line.
Cottrell 16 minutes 6 points
Carrigan 15 minutes 6 points
31 minutes 12 points 4-7 foul line. 8 rebounds. 3 blocks.
You can add Gabe if you want but he's not going to play down low often. He also score 6 points.
Case closed Rebounding is the biggest thing being missed. Defense was instantly improved as Culver had none at all.
Good thing Ohio State thumped Akron right?
Thanks for response, Allen. You just proved my point: Two or three players are needed to replace Culver's offensive production, as well as his rebounding. Your man love for every current WVU player and coach and disrespect of former WVU players and coaches cloud your judgment.
Doesn't matter how many it takes as long as the production is still there. Fouls will no longer be the issue like it was with Culver.
