GAME THREAD West Virginia basketball vs. Missouri
- Thread starter Keenan Cummings
- Start date
Every Missouri weakness plays to the strength of WVU. Every strength of Missouri and WVU is equal to or slightly behind. With exception of foul shooting.
Keep TO's to a minimum of 12
Stay out of foul trouble
Play the defense you know how to play. Limit 3's and FG%.
Rebound
This game will be won by 25
Mountaineers greatest strength lies in the front court, an area which West Virginia is deep and which Missouri is thin.
Tigers' big man Jeremiah Tilmon Jr. (foot) will be inactive for a sixth straight game
Missouri is coming in pretty confident they will hit their 3's and win this game.
Play poorly and Missouri stays in it with a chance to win it.
They may have hit 54 consecutive free throws in the last 2 games but they still lost those games.

I'll be in Charleston today my daughter has a performance at the civic center for the wv state all star high school choir, so if I'm quiet it's not because ego maniac lefty finally made a shot, its because I have something better to do. I know him making a shot a month and putting my name in your texts and thread titles is more important to you pathetic losers in life than all the stuff he does to cripple this team so dont think for a second that he isnt still an overrated 3rd rate player, I'm just busy. Here's to hoping he finally doesnt hurt the team and we start having some 2-0 not 1-1 weeks, or he just gets hurt and goes away
The top 3 point shooter for WVU is hitting 40.5%. The second best is at 37.3% with the third best at 33.3%. The team is at 30.7%. Question; is the player shooting the best, is that someone who can not shoot?
Wishing injury on a player...if the mods needed reason 100 to ban this poster. That he's been allowed to dedicate every post to trashing a WVU player just shows how lax the running of this board really is.
Deuce with the assist! He is actually passing and looks like he is actually trying to run some offense.
McBride in the game. In three possessions he gets a defensive rebound, an assist and a drive to the basket(left handed) for two. Just padding his stats I guess
Here we go again. This is a worthless piece of crap poster. You are useless. Get a life. Go get treatment! You have McBride derangement syndrome. You are stupid, make terrible post and are a loser. Please leave the WVU planet and go find your life at marshall. You are useless. Give nothing to this board and need to leave!
Laying on the floor after getting SMOKED by one dribble on defense, ANY other player is pulled from the game IMMEDIATELY and screamed at. Yeah no favoritism. Also he plays 60 percent of minutes at PG, and our biggest issue is turnovers. Hmmmm. Yeah let's just ignore that too
Yeah cause its not real. 3 open 3s and 3 easy drives to the basket that the big men had to bail him out on, like always. I'd rather look like anything than to be so f'n stupid I cant even understand what is blatantly obviously happening on the court. 80 pound head, 50 pound stupid looking hair, 800 pound ego, zero talent
This team reminds me of the UVA team 2 years ago when they lost as a #1 seed. That team couldn't shoot either. However, the next year was awesome!
Our Saturday afternoon offense is back.
Turnover, missed layup, missed free throw, contested shot, turnover, nobody moves, turnover,

Wow. Reading our play by play goes like this:
Rebound missed three point jumper fouls rebound turnover foul rebound missed three point jumper rebound turnover foul rebound missed layup foul rebound turnover rebound missed jumper rebound turnover foul ...
And I am NOT kidding. HOW are we winning???

When you have a team staggering and behind 12 you put your foot on their throat! Need better penetration passes. Huggins at halftime should crank them up to open up the gap again. Hopefully. Missouri missed 2 free throws in a row for the first time in forever! Hard to see free throws when you're dealing with Pitbull Defense. Huggins Heroes need to turn it up another notch in the 2nd half. And they will!
8 turnovers are to high for a half. Missouri has 6.
Jumped out 20-6 and hit cruise control because this young team thought it would be a blowout after that. Missouri hit 3 of their last 4 3's or they would only 14 total points for the half with 8 from the foul line.
Hope the officials find their whistles in 2nd half and calls some fouls on Missouri. Letting one team hack and not the other is pure BS.

Yeah, because WVU has been an excellent 2nd half team in recent years....
Looks good right now. I am thinking we put too much on a bunch of kids who are learning how to play together. I am guessing most of yunz are grownups and maybe have been around for awhile. Why not let them play basketball, learn and grow as a team and see where it goes at the end of the year. This is a team full of Freshmen and Sophomores. Plus transfers and a lot of new players and you are going to get times like this. Enjoy the process as they grow. Let them without being jerks about it. I venture to say a team of players from this board would get smoked by the walkons, let alone our top 12.
"Transition defense on ONE possession" and sit forever. McBride is the worst defender in the history of this program and NOTHING. Nope, no bias or unequal treatment, and people wonder why our entire roster gets overhauled every 3 years with nothing to do with graduation
you are an idiot. You embarrass yourself every time you post. You should feel sorry for yourself how stupid you sound.
Ya, but he screwed up on a fast break therefore he is garbage. I'm going to dedicate all my posts to calling out Sherman on his screw ups and will even make up some that I'll just throw out as generalities like "he can't do x" or "he never can do y" I'll also ignore all the good things he does, especially if flies in the face of the things I assert are terrible about him. I'll be sure to call anyone a moron or troll if they disagree.
Its garbage time, this is when scrubs like McBride and walk ons come in and pad their stats with rebounds and pretend like they're actually contributing members of the team when they're really not, get oscar out of their. My God mcbride already got 3 open layups in garbage time to "win the game by himself" dont get actual real players hurt
