GAME THREAD West Virginia vs UCF men's basketball

[Vernon]

WVU (18-12, 9-10) will host UCF (16-14, 7-12) on Saturday. The tip is set for 5:00 PM ET and the game will be on ESPN+.

 

[WVUALLEN]

WVU can finish no higher than 7 seed and no lower than 10 seed. But first they must win Saturday to even have a chance at a bye.

 

[locustwv]

This one scares me. I know everyone thinks we are locked in but I still think we need this one to be sure. This would be a bad loss at home.

 

[WVUBRU]

UCF has been playing much better recently. I'm concerned we may lay an egg as there is too much attention into to dance versus one game at a time.

 

[Vernon]

 

[WVUALLEN]

Not concerned at all. And beleive we win by 7.

UCF 2-7 on the road and haven't won a road game since Jan. 14th

They are 3-2 in their last 5 but all 3 wins at home.

WVU is 5-4 at home and haven't lost at home since BYU.

WVU also 3-2 in their last 5 games 2-0 at home 1-2 on road.

But then again we know how to lose and give games away we should win.

4 3's

 

[WVUALLEN]

About time they called that push off

 

[WVUALLEN]

Just keep it up for 40 minutes

 

[WVUALLEN]

Do we not have anyone who can inbound the pass.

 

[WVUALLEN]

That is a crap call.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Tenner getting better.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Small is abusing UCF.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Can't tell me that wasn't a foul on Small dunk..

2 of them look like Kipp

 

[WVUALLEN]

Let's play 40 minutes.

2 of them look like Kipp

Yes

 

[WVUALLEN]

Their going to start calling a tighter game. It's been real chippy.

 

[WVUALLEN]

UCF is not interested in defense at all.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Harris has Hall all out of sorts.

 

[locustwv]

UCF is not interested in defense at all.

Hope they stay that way!!!

 

[MountaineerWV]

2 of them look like Kipp

Which two? :joy: :joy: :joy: :joy: (just kidding)

 

[WVUALLEN]

Andre needs to go straight up and not bend over him.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Hope we don't end this half like the last few. Finish it out stay way ahead.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Yesufu has missed 3 wide open shots.

 

[locustwv]

Let’s get a basket right here before half!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

Up 22 and held a team that averages 80 plus a game to 25 points.

Need to keep the hot defense and hot shooting from Small and Hansberry cause UCF could flip this quickly especially if Hall starts scoring.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

KSU has lost and TCU on the ropes late against Colorado. Finish this game and we get a Big 12 bye and 8th seed minimum.

[WVUALLEN]

Seen this movie before. Stay awake guys. Don't let them creep back in it and stay alive.

Yes, horrible start

 

[WVUALLEN]

The scoring title is also on the line this evening.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Quick 3 second call and also only the 2nd one I've seen all year.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Hall has been lowering his shoulder into defenders all day. Time to call the foul.
