GAME THREAD Official Game Thread - WVU vs. Kansas

[Keenan Cummings]

We'll tip off at 7 p.m. West Virginia will be looking to win at Kansas for the first time and take a major step in the Big 12 Conference lead.

 

[Orlaco]

As usual I'm checking into this thread as a good luck charm. .....although tonight may be beyond my mystical powers.

 

[wvpaper]

It will be tough to replace Holton in this game.

 

[WVU_98_rivals]

Let's Gooooooooo Mountaineers!!!!!!!

 

[Orlaco]

Their crowd, as usual, is awesome.

So far our pressure is crap because they are pushing hard.

Dick V is annoying...again, as usual.

 

[skygusty_rivals]

Need some ball movement.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Kansas trying real hard to not be out muscled or hustled this game. Offense is stiff and motionless.

 

[Orlaco]

So we can make a three....

We're actually doing better than I expected. We'll most likely lose (like everyone does there) but a good showing would be nice.

 

[wvpaper]

kansas played very hard. wvu pretty much rested everyone. we got a shot in the 2nd half

 

[VaultHunter]

No rhythm for WVU getting out rebounded and sloppy play but only down 7. We can get all those things cleaned up and still take control of this game. Let's Go Mountaineers![WVU]

 

[Atreides]

As long as its single digits a run is possible. Think this is a dream matchup and game for the conference. God forbid Kansas doesn't finish in first...oh the humanity! i know we can beat anyone...hope the players remember that.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Williams really struggling

 

[wvpaper]

Holton absence really shows up against these athletic front lines. He is devastating against KU in the press too.

 

[steeleer]

We need our full court press with Holton. This version just doesn't cut it.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

KU not feeding us TOs or foul line trips and offense is inconsistent. Not going to win if we can't get at least one of those going. 2 point deficit just ballooned to 10 because of us going cold.

 

[WVU_98_rivals]

Those fouls we were getting at the beginning of the second half suddenly disappeared! We have to keep driving to the basket. We are not a good outside shooting team.

 

[Orlaco]

Huggs needs to reel in Williams thinking he has a go for any outside shot.


...giving away chances for pot-luck (no Holton ref intended).

 

[TexasforevEER]

WV in Kansas playing without heart tonight. Should make plans to talk with the Wizard. The scarecrow, tin man and the lion..................they all have problems. Gotta hit the front end of those one and ones. They don't show up in stats so bad but..............we all know what missing them leads to. Turn out the lights when you leave.

 

[wvpaper]

well played game. we got killed on the boards. if we play them again this year it will be different, assuming holton does come back

 

[79eer]

Kansas played a pretty good game, and knocked down some big 3's. Really don't think Huggins can be all that upset. Kansas probably beats just about anybody the way they played tonight. Put it in the rear view and move on.

 

[Darth_VadEER]

Some shots weren't falling but that's basketball. I thought our effort was there.

I think we have a good shot if we play them again in the Big 12 tournament, unfortunately it will be another home game for them, so we'll have our work cut out for us.
