WVSPORTS.COM West Virginia must learn, adjust after disappointing defeat

Ok. Sounds simple, but it is. How do they "solve" the issues?
1. Shoot better
2. REBOUND
3. Don't have stupid turnovers that lead directly to points
4. REBOUND
5. REBOUND
6. REBOUND
It's not like the matchup 2-3 zone was some wrinkle just introduced in to basketball. We appeared to not have a clue on how to get the ball in the scoring spots. Why was that? Why were we not prepared for that? Everyone knows that it's going to be 3-1 on Jesse Edwards, leaving TWO of our players open to take jumpers (as the other teams are praying they would take them). That's really what we should figure out........how to SHOOT better. Sometimes it's simply getting different players.....something we don't have right now.

What I saw in the game and also saw against Missouri State with the offense, when the players make cuts and set picks, need to be crisper and more athletic. They are just "running" the offense versus executing. It is execution that gets open shots. But improvement on defense and rebounding is needed big time. Crash the boards. When you have position, block out putting your butt on your guy. Basics
No movement, pulling up their dribble for no reason and no one wants to shoot until it's the worst possible time.
Don't forget, possibly the two worst turnovers last night was when we had a guy going 1 on 4 and dribbled in to a turnover both times.
Are you under the impression that you're funny or clever? There's a reason no one likes you. Good lord man, grow up.
