Watch Riff Raff's cousin. Have to give him credit because he could be one if the best actors I have ever seen on the basketball court
Routinely steals point by his dramatics.

But McClung can't mess with Culver

Have to get Santos Silva in foul trouble. WVU has a big advantage on the inside.

Should be a good game. Expect both teams to come out in shoulder pads and helmets.

WVU wins by 8. Culver goes 16 / 14 and Mcbride scores 26. ( I pray anyway)

Coming February is an unheard of gauntlet.

H- #15 Kansas - Feb 6
A - #10 Texas Tech - Feb 9
H- # 24 Oklahoma - Feb 13
H - #2 Baylor - Feb 15
A -#2 Baylor - Feb 18
A - #5 Texas - Feb 20

6 games in 14 days against nationally ranked teams.

Toughest stretch in WVU history. Covid - 19 kicks our *** again.

Must win those home games to stay alive for the dance. Going 3-3 would be a huge task. Going 0-6 is a real possibility and kiss any tourney thoughts good bye.

Oh and we must not forget the SEC match up vs Florida next after this one. Florida is coming in hot with a win over #6 Tennessee by 26 points and a road win @ Georgia.

I think WVU wins tonight for sure, and should split the 6 game stretch. Florida is a game they should win, unless it's down in Gainesville. Kansas is less than impressive, and Baylor can be beaten if they play well and make shots.

WVU goes 0-6 they can still make the tournament

These games are about seeds

TCU, Oklahoma State, Iowa State and K State are about making the tournament.
Have to go 8-0 against them

Big win for a team trying to find a new identity. 62 percent from 3 was it? And McCabe played pretty well. I will eat crow on that one. Only 1 really dumb turnover and not as big a defensive liability tonight. So kudos to him. Actually kind of cool for them.

I didn't watch the game due to work, but if you'd have told me TTU would hold the edge on TO, Free Throws, and offensive boards by 2 to 12, 83.3 to 63.2, and 11 to 5 respectively ... I'd say WVU lost handily. Especially w/ WVU only having one more rebound. Looks like the Mountaineers shot uncharacteristicly well this outing and I'll take it.

WVU shooting is night and day better since Oscar abandoned his teammates. The lanes are now open and improved the shooting. We have no rim protector which causes us to get straight line driven to death.
