GAME THREAD West Virginia basketball vs. Portland State

[Keenan Cummings]

Game tips-off at 9 p.m. on ESPN News.

 

[WVUALLEN]

At least they don't have a 7'4 behemoth.

 

[GoWVU]

Stevenson was helped straight to the locker room with that injury. Appeared to be the left leg, which I believe was the same one that had an issue last night

 

[GoWVU]

Stevenson back in now, wonder if he has an ongoing cramping/hydration problem

 

[locustwv]

Who do we play if we win?

Old nemesis Florida

Old nemesis Florida

I looked it up but thanks

 

[MountaineerWV]

Why do we continue having these offensive woes? It is simply amazing.

 

[MountaineerWV]

They are about 90 seconds away from being right back in this thing because we can't stop the dribble penetration without fouling and we cannot run any sign of an offensive set unless it's a fast break.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Why is Stevenson on the bench?

 

[MountaineerWV]

Waste of a scholarship on one of our starting post players. Brings nothing to the table.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Amazes me how we have forgotten how to rebound.

 

[GoWVU]

Why is Stevenson on the bench?

Could be trying to manage his leg problem for the long haul with the big lead

 

[locustwv]

5-1

 

[locustwv]

What time is game on Sunday?

 

[GoWVU]

What time is game on Sunday?

Either 530 Pacific or 8 Pacific they say

He got up on that block pretty well, so I'd say he was just fine.

Hopefully it’s 5:30 pacific

Hard to get offensive rebounds when you shoot 65%.

Who said offensive rebounds? Most of the game their tallest guy on the court was 6'5" and we had Wague or Bell Jr. out there and all we could do it tap it around. Those guys have to grab the rebounds.

Thanks for proving my point for me. A +3 margin when our height was in our favor.

Doesn't matter the the height. It's all position when it comes to rebounding. Work on their positioning on rebounds and there is no problems. That 3+ can turn into 9 points.

Check the games were Bell and Wague are not in foul trouble and you'll see a big difference.

I like the team and they're better than last year and will not finish 9th or 10th in conference. JB teams won games without rebounding.

We got out rebounded 30-27. Just saying.

We won by 18 and shot 60%. Just saying

Yep. But Huggs has been harping on our lack of rebounding and we got out rebounded by a much smaller team, again. I'm grateful we won. We shot well. But we will not successful in the Big 12 if we don't fix this problem.
