Copy-paste for the remainder of the season.

I think we get this one.

 

[wvpaper]

any new players available?

 

[Vernon]

WVU's starters for today are Edwards, Harris, Slazinski, Naveh and Johnson.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

I think these guys need to play more basketball tag.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Looking like bad times right now.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Akok scares me. I know he’s been cleared. But he doesn’t look right.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Akok scares me. I know he’s been cleared. But he doesn’t look right.

He goes 110% when he’s on the court. He would have been disruptive on those Press Virginia teams

 

[WVUALLEN]

Looks fine to me. He actually plays defense unlike the others.

Not talking about his effort or play. He gets winded after just a few trips up and down the court.

Nothing to see here. Season was over a long time ago.

Down 2 at half!! We will pull it off. Then we get Krissa back next weekend.

Could be because he hasn't played since the scrimmage game. Just guessing.

I have seen nothing that says we will win this game. I hope we do but I haven't seen it.

We are only down 2. I think we win. We will see.

Good start to 2nd half.

Akok! He looks great

I know it is. But I guess, to me, it's different because of his episode. I know the doctors know more than I do, and he's cleared every test or he wouldn't be out there, but I can't help but remember Hank Gathers.

It doesn't seem to be bothering him at the moment.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Another 4+ minute scoring drought.

For them too. Both teams went cold.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Amazing isn't it. It's like Huggins never left. Takes us forever to figure out if your shots not falling go to Edwards then out. Usually our droughts begin when Harris enters the game.

I don't understand why we don't use Kobe on post ups against smaller PG's trying to guard him, especially when we are in scoring droughts. Around the rim, he may be our best finisher.

I have no idea. Perhaps they will when Kriisa comes back.

 

[MountaineerWV]

So....the other team is TRYING to foul, and we throw it away?

 

[deedoubleyou]

We got this.....lets go!

 

[locustwv]

WIN!!

 

[deedoubleyou]

Those kids are getting better. Akok is good and adds a lot on the court. The more he plays the better we will be. Getting our PG back will be huge. Good job!

Beat the team that just beat Villanova. Hello final four

Good to see these hard working kids get a win

Still don't feel confident even after this win.

Wilson did finally have a good game his first since the 2nd game of season. One more without Kriisa.

Villanova powerhouse 6-4.

Villanova powerhouse 6-4.

A Villanova team that hasn't been the same since Wright stepped down. But that was expected.

I think he's now eligible. Wasn't this his last game to sit out?

It was Drexel. Not the 76'ers.

Yes your right this was 9th game.

I don’t think anyone is anticipating a big year lol.

But the poster is correct, lots of options open up with another ball handler.
