Haley, Culver, McCabe and Matthews with nice starts. Harler is working hard with not much to show for it. Knapper two turnovers and two missed shots in about a minute of play. West needs to step it up a little.
McCabe has been sitting on the bench with two fouls.
Knapper has been on the court during the run

Scoring is not everything.
I liked WV with Haley running the point with West and Knapper on the wings
That is how they developed a huge lead.
McCabe did score points but the offense was not as fluid with him on the ball.
Knapper had a better +/- than McCabe today.
McCabe doesn't deserve the credit some of you are giving him.
Haley is the best player and is the reason why WV turned the season around.
Between McCabe and Knapper.
Matters what Huggins wants to do.
Think Knapper is very much a Bolden type of player at his peak.
Good defense and a streaky shooter.
Nah. I’m a WVU fan. I’m just pointing out our guard points since someone brought it up.
Are you kidding me? What game were you watching? McCabe had 18 pts on 5-6 from the 3 point line, 3-4 FT, 2 reb, 5 asst. against 2 turnovers. Knapper had 3 points on 1-4 shooting, 1 asst. and 1 turnover. Seriously?
If you watched the game....
You would know WV went up on Iowa St by 21 with McCabe on the bench.
McCabe on the bench from the 11 minute mark to the end of the half.
The lead grew from 6 to 21.
With McCabe on the court in the second half the lead shrunk.
Without McCabe the offense looked more fluid.
McCabe is a good player but with running the point I don't see the spacing.
Three of the starters played within their game and created points. Two didn't and tried to do things they simply cannot do on offense. Their defense was their only redemption. What they do well, they also did. Therefore a win.
Stop it. For the love of God, stop it. McCabe has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt who the PG is for this team.
I liked how Haley responded when McCabe was called for his 2nd foul.
He took over. Scored probably half his points in that 8:30 minute stretch.
I don't think anyone on here, nor Huggs, gives a rat's a$$ what you see or don't see. Fact is that you have screwed up the scoring numbers really bad. Knapper had nothing, absolutely NOTHING to do with that run. Haley was running the point.
Knapper has a lot of potential, but shouldn't a point guard have more than 1 assist? Maybe Haley deserves some credit, his night wasn't too shabby. 28 points on 13-20, 7 reb and 3 assists. He did have 4 turnovers against 3 steals and one block. Everyone can improve. McCabe needs to work on his defense. As always, JMHO
I know Haley was running the point...
I mentioned that previously.
As great as McCabe has been I think he dominates the ball way too much and takes away from Haley's game.
Without McCabe WV still wins beats Iowa St
Without Haley I don't know.
Knapper during the run did nothing he made a 3 pointer at the 2 minute mark and that was it. McCabe was only out 2 minutes and returned completing the run.
Yeah those 18 McCabe points and 5 assist didn't mean a thing in a 15 point win.
I would like to see the entire team work on their transition defense. It is horrific.
Basketball is a hard game to determine success by just looking at the stats because there is only one ball and 5 players....
Someone can score 20 points a game but could be hurting their team because the ball does not move and the offense becomes stagnant.
Huggins knows basketball a lot more than me plus he has a style he wants to play.
My point is when McCabe went off the court WV's offense looked better for that stretch.
The lead jumped by 15 points and they went into halftime up by 21.
Haley made better choices with the ball.
Rewatch the game from the point McCabe was benched with his 2nd foul until the end of the half.
If you watched the game you would know Knapper was only in 2 to 3 minutes.
12:35 Brandon Knapper missed Three Point Jumper. 18 - 18
11:59 Brandon Knapper missed Three Point Jumper. 18 - 18
11:44 Brandon Knapper Turnover. 18 - 18
11:19 Brandon Knapper missed Jumper. 20 - 18
Knapper out McCabe back in.
Lead was 18 when Knapper finally returns
2:08 Brandon Knapper made Three Point Jumper. Assisted by Chase Harler. 30 - 48
1:04 Foul on Brandon Knapper. 33 - 51
Knapper is a decent backup for about 8 to 10 minutes of play.
