GAME THREAD West Virginia basketball vs. Kansas
- Thread starter Keenan Cummings
- Start date
Since it's on ESPN+, which I get but can't record, I'll be at a birthday party for a 100-year-old Lion Queen (as in Monongah High Lions) an hour from my home instead. Maybe I'll get back for a happy finish after bowing to the Queen, 90-year-old Lions King that I am. Same high school that includes Nick Saban and WVU Medicine CEO Dr. Edmonds as graduates! Priorities! As much as I love WVU, I never miss a chance for a reunion with Monongah Lions. Did that with Amelia Shenasky Zentz till she passed away ... at the age of 102!!! We Lions are a hardy stock!
It's called "on demand". Once the game is over on ESPN+, you can watch it "On-Demand".
Damn Stevenson is way off so far. Hope he gets it together. We need shooters to step up in this game. Knock one down
If WVU played such cool, controlled basketball that it is against Kansas it would be 2-0 in Big 12. Stick with it, guys!
I was across the river from you in Glasgow. Went to DuPont in the coach Tom Bossie days.
Stevenson cannot hit anything. There has to be someone on the bench who could at least make 1 more shot that him.
Down 20 with Stevenson cold as ice. Too bad. I was hoping we would give a better showing. Maybe we will go on a streak soon...
If that is the case, we are in for a rough Big12. Better than last year, but still not as good as even Deuce's last season where we got bounced in the round of 32. Bubble or just barely above that is the way we're headed after this and the previous 2 games with a floor that could be uglier.
I don't see us winning a game again this year if they don't start hitting shots. Missed a lot of open and easy shots.
This sounds right. I had us at 5 more wins after the K State debacle. Different players, same team as last year.
See!? I said we should have been beating those early season teams so badly at least a family member of the opposing team dies of shame. Could've prevented this whole slide.
For the second year in a row we refuse to run offense. Pass, hold the ball for 4 seconds while looking around, panic, throw up poor shot or throw pass that puts a teammate in a bad spot. Repeat.
Early in the year we were running good down the floor team. Fast break easy baskets. For some reason we stopped doing that.
Back about 8-10 years ago, Huggs made a comment about scoring. I'm paraphrasing, but he said something like "if we shoot more shots and have more possessions than the other team, we will score more even if we shoot a lower percentage". Well, for some reason, we have gone away from that philosophy. But back then, we did have some "dudes" that would get their hands dirty and get some offensive rebounds and steals on defense, creating more possessions and shots. This team doesn't have that.
