GAME THREAD WVU vs. TCU
- Thread starter Keenan Cummings
- Start date
More bricks from Dax. Stupid passes. Giving up easy second chance buckets. This is not Mountaineer basketball
Teams that win their big boy cinference and run deep into the NCAA tournament do. This is an obstacle, but one that a good team can overcome rather than getting embarassed
Huggs has some work to do. I know sometimes the shots just don't fall, but the stupid play, missing defensive assignments, letting them easily get offensive boards are things that shouldn't happen no matter what the talent on the floor
Everyone on this board needs to accept that we are not winning the Big XII. We are not at that level, much better teams have tried and failed, KU will win the Big XII going away again. We can still make the Final Four and potentially win the whole thing, a OAD tournament is easier than beating a better team over an 18 game balanced schedule.
Take a look at Huggs teams at WVU the last few years. When We Lose, it is usually the same story, 7-9 minutes without a hoop. When are we ever going to get a outside shooter.
If you're Huggs, you really have to question the value of playing Esa. The numbers don't lie. When he's on the court, we're just not as good. And Dax? Same player that came here 4 years ago. Plays decent D and rebounds fairly well. But for most part he's only good when we don't need him to be (in a runaway win). But, if tight game and need a bucket, he's not a good alternative.
Because the thread went quiet....and if you think I'm rooting against WVU, then you're about as smart as Schumer is.
Had nothing to do with us winning by 30+ points and you having nothing to complain about?
Hate seeing our shooting go stone cold like that. We've lost 3 of the last 4. Not a good trend.
Nope, but, if it makes you happier to believe that then please go ahead and do so. After all who am I to get in the way of your mental masturbatory material.
Sure am glad that Huggins is running this team and not you. Sounds like you considered this a loss from the start and that's not a winning mentality. I can understand seeing the difficulties and realizing that odds are not in your favor, but you still try. Sure its tough, sure you cannot win them all, but you can control how you play. No matter the talent, playing hard and smart is something that any team can do with the right coaching. This game was not just missing shots it was stupid, careless play on both ends of the court. Sure WVU may still have lost without that, but they probably would not have been embarassed.
It doesnt matter what I think, I dont coach the team or play on the team. But yes, this loss was very predictable on two days rest. I dont have to go out and "try" to win the game.
This team is good but is missing an insider that can be trusted with the ball. Big men that can post up inside, take the pass and score.........over the defender .......... are few and far between. WV needs this type of player in order to go deep into March Madness. Konate is good but when he gets two fouls early in the game.............WV is toast. Konate is the teams best player. Warez
