For most of the game, we dominated. End of story.

Let's get another but it will be tougher and a much tougher environment.

3-2 on the road.

TCU is a beatable team as they currently sit at 10-10 (3-6). Losing to Colorado at home so far 1st half in an empty frog house.

Quit looking at stats and records. All games are winnable and equally able to lose. Quit over reacting play by play. Game is played on the court for 40 minutes. We are not a great team but we are dangerous if we play smart with intensity. Even though some blowhards don't believe in depth and legs getting tired this time of the year, it is true. Look at all the upsets yesterday.

Just be a supporter and enjoy this team even though they are very imperfect.

Yep KState followed up their defeat of us by whipping Iowa St on their home court. Anything can happen. I like what Yesufu is bringing to the team.

I'm a fan. I like looking at stats and opponents abilities. I don't need your opinion on what fans should do or not do.

Didn't those teams that got upset have really deep benches?

It's all about putting the ball through the hoop and playing defense.

Kansas won a national title having just 7 players.

Take your own blow hard advice and shove it.

Hope he continues to do so. Would be a huge plus.

Edit: Texas Tech beat Houston.

This is a WVU fan board. As I understand, all are welcome but one should refrain from personal attacks. Unfortunately, that isn't today's society especially on the internet and I understand that fact but won't contribute to that behavior.

Stats are very interesting but with all analytics, are only useful if used correctly as it is information only otherwise. As mentioned, this is a fan board not a betting site. Individuals should be here supporting the same team. Using stats to make a definitive stance for the future only leads to a false and skeptical perspective which is what I am talking about. Stats should be used in order to handicap teams in order to set a baseline for individuals or a game line for a team versus an opponent as it is reflective of history. But it is not a predictor in a live on court game. That is played on the court and many intangibles are injected that will decide the outcome. The point is enjoy the good as it is often opposite of past history of a statistic. The result will be part of any given stat but as one can tell, it is flawed as a predictor by itself.

Glad that you are open for others to provide their opinions, while giving us your own wisdom. :joy:

*** hat. 😁

Opinions are one thing telling a fan how they should act, cheer and support is another. I have the ability to do both. It's called keyboard and the internet.

Aw shucks darn. You and your intelligence can get annoying. I'll support and cheer the way I want.
