Is beetle playing?

Is beetle playing?

He's out there during warm ups with a heavily taped wrist. Plenty of discussion on our premium board under way as well and a good time to remind all of you that if you sign up or an annual you get 50-percent off.

Seems like Ahmad really committed to getting fit. Bolden grew his hair out a bit. This team is so fun to watch. I have missed this so so much, I could cry, I swear. It's like Christmas

 

[CAJUNEER_rivals]

Looking a bit ragged. 4 start turnovers.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Looks ugly with 5 TOs in 3-4 min. Offense still looks out of sorts.

 

[CAJUNEER_rivals]

This is some ugly ball.

Defense isn't so good either. If Buffalo could hit a shot this game could get out of hand.

 

[deedoubleyou]

I guess our offensive game is heaving up 3s now.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Got a lot of work to do if this team is going to be in contention for the Big XII.

 

[Ad in Lancaster]

Hugs may have a lot of pieces this year but so far they’re not fitting together very well.

Backcourt looks slow. I would have thought Beetle would have run the offense a little more smoothly.

 

[deedoubleyou]

Esa looks like dog crap.

 

[CAJUNEER_rivals]

Beetle looking a little better.

 

[CAJUNEER_rivals]

I'm kinda impressed with Gordon.

 

[CAJUNEER_rivals]

Nice close to the half.

 

[Vernon]

Not bad at all for a team that is really feeling their way around. Glad to have this game at home where they are a bit more comfortable.

We need to tighten it up in the 2nd half and stop playing so sloppy. Beetle needs some help. I'd like to see Esa finally live up to his recruiting status. He's a senior, no reason to play so sloppy. He has 4 turnovers himself. Not good for a guy who should be a leader of the team by now

 

[deedoubleyou]

Sags is shaken up from that fall. And still nails it

That is the offense of pretty much every team now.
It creates spacing and keeps teams from using variations of the zone.

Just have to rebound on both ends and hit 35% from long distance

WV wasn't a great half court team last year.
Carter and Miles creating turnovers created easy baskets.
Don't know why wvpride was saying WV was a for sure Final 4 team.

How does Huggins keep letting one player beat him. Run Massingburg off the 3 point line. The rest of the team is 2-19 from 3. It's not rocket science. jfc

If Huggins doesn't work out we'll just hire Frank Martin.

That makes sense... They finally learned and made anyone but Massingburg shot.

 

[gamecocks247_rivals90350]

Btw I like Huggins. His style of play is fun to watch. Just didn't get the game plan once Buff got into half court offense.

 

[deedoubleyou]

Esa making turnovers look easy....

 

[deedoubleyou]

Esa wants us to lose apparently. Pretty terrible game from him. He's responsible for nearly half our turnovers.

 

[WVUFanForever]

That was what was drew up for the final shot of the game?

Common sense says take it to the hoop. I don't get it.

 

[Mntneer]

Just sit Esa's *** down for the rest of the game.

 

[Rootmaster]

wow regardless of what happens in overtime this team looks lost. at least 17 fewer shots than UB and 8 more turnovers. ugh....cant wait to hear Keaton excuses for this mess.

 

[.Bodhi.]

NIT.

edit.

If they're lucky.

 

[WVUFanForever]

We have no idea what we are doing in this overtime session...

Starting the season with a loss. Unreal.

 

[deedoubleyou]

NITx2. We are going to suck this year. A slow start is one thing, this is as pathetic as I've seen us. Esa needs benched forever. He's had one good game per year in his entire career.

Quite the OT offense we have

 

[88rocco]

Well...........this is interesting. Game one. It's a good wake up call and learning point.

Did you really think they would regroup in OT? This game was lost after buffalo cut it to 6 with under a minute to go. Picking up from last year, this team can't finish a game.

It's gonna be a loooooong season.

 

[WVUFanForever]

Team has four steals....JC had that in some games before the first TV time out.

 

[deedoubleyou]

A small moral victory scoring a point in OT. Something to build on
