Game tips off at 7 p.m. Wednesday night and will be televised by ESPN+. This is a big one, so thought I'd open it early for discussion.
GAME THREAD West Virginia basketball vs. Baylor
- Thread starter Keenan Cummings
- Start date
My God! Can we not make a shot! Our defense is pathetic. No hustle. Just play the game and stop the antics!

I thought I would pre-post my comments in case I was not able to watch the game.

Does anyone know if Kedrian has been cleared to play or is he still on concussion protocol?
This team is lost. Players. Coaches. Everything. We put the ball in hands of guys on the offensive side that shouldn't have it in those spots on the court. We run a slow pace offensive set, force up shot, go play defense.
That’s the biggest difference I’ve seen since starting conference play. We can’t hit open shots and aren’t moving the ball like we were in out of conference games.
So, Baylor playing zone. And coaches have Stevenson on bench? Smart move.
0-10 from 3-point so far. And many of them uncontested.

This team has fallen on hard times. Can't shoot recently. Haven't been able to rebound all year. And have turned it over all year.
We can't hit anything open. We have struggled to score our 23 points
And Baylor has been in serious foul trouble all game, but we can't take advantage at all.

What burns me about Bridges is how WVU game him a scholarship when others weren't really looking, he started and played 2 full seasons, and left for a conference rival. Homegrown kid doing that burns me up.
Great. Two 3's in final minute.........good grief. We couldn't take advantage of the foul situation. Couldn't hit our open looks. And they are over 50% from 3-point land and falling out of bounds.
Yeah that was crap to leave for a rival. Bridges just isnt a hard worker, the way it looks. His game doesnt improve year to year and he has a slacker demeanor. Going to Baylor doesnt seem to have helped him at all. The only thing that can help him is himself. He would have to take on the Jevon Carter mentality, which is rare.
46.2% from 3 and 44% overall,
Keyonte George will be a top 5 pick in NBA lottery.
WVU is 1-12 from 3. If they don't start hitting those they can forget winning.
Miss first TEN 3’s, down only 6 at halftime. Amazing!
Great improvement in passing to Mountaineer standing 2 feet from basket. 8 or 10 points that way.
Encouraging even though WVU never led.
Plus 3 Bears have 2 fouls, Thamba 3 fouls. Might come into play in 2nd half.
Bridges 4 points, on pace to almost his season scoring average.
Tre has 6 to lead WVU.
Free throws even match, 6-8 WVU and 5-7 Baylor, 75% WV & 71.4% Baylor.
Concentrate on more passes to Mountaineer under basket instead of popping 3’s. Baylor made 6 of 13, WVU ONE of 12. Can’t win that contest.

With the way Tre Mitchell rebounds the ball, why haven't we experimented with a small lineup? No true "Big" in there.
In 2nd half, we took first lead and 10 seconds lost it. Then took lead by 1, and lost it in 10 seconds again. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Baylor's 3 guards have accounted for most of their points. Just like the scouting reports said. And we couldn't stop that from happening.
Their 53% FT shooter has made 5 of 6 tonight. Our 85% FT shooter missed 5 straight. And our backup PG has missed several as well.
