GAME THREAD WVU vs. TCU

[Keenan Cummings]

Game should tip at 2 p.m. and West Virginia will be without sophomore forward Esa Ahmad due to back issues.

 

[Vernon]

WVU starters: Carter, Miles, Adrian, Phillip, and Macon. Miles starts in place of the injured Esa Ahmad for the second straight game. Ahmad did not travel with the team.

Frustrating game, it's so obvious we are much better but we keep allowing them back in when we build a cushion

The annual Huggins Fade usually happens over the final dozen or so games of a season. It happened in the final 4 minutes of a half today. Very, very poor execution on offense. Zero movement. Nobody willing to take a charge on defense when TCU drives it.

We led this game 18-9.....then TCU closed the half on a 21-9 run.

I will never understand this team.

Adrian needs to get his head out of his a$$!!!!!

West. Good gravy, what's slam

This team is too inconsistent to go too far in the post season.

They wont go far if they cannot hit their foul shots.

We Dax playing hard or at least defending again, we'll be fine

 

[xWVU2010x]

As usual putrid late game execution

 

[xWVU2010x]

Thank you refs and thank you for what was probably the worst wide open game winning shot attempt ever

 

[wvpaper]

Something new for this team. A liw energy win.

Looked like both teams were sapped at the end

They gave tcu a bullshot call on the posession before.

Yep, makeup call

Higgins is awful.

WV tried to give this one away. Here's what I saw. WV shooters were not squared up to the basket yet continued to fire away. What's up with that? Don't tell me it was TCU defense. WV played in the panic mode the entire game. My suggestion is to start Lamont West.

Yep, makeup call

Makeup call or not it's extremely rare for any team, let alone a road team, to get a call like that with game on the line. I'll take it happily, how many times have we been on the short end of the referee spectrum?

We haven't beaten anyone playing like that all year. It's a good sign

I agree with that, it was also the biggest game of probably anyone on TCU's career so you know we got everyone's best effort
