Has anybody heard if Beetle is going to be available?

Just saw an article that he is likely out for the rest of the season. :frown:

This team is way more likeable now. They play more as a team. It's great to see.

Most likely out for the season per Huggs

We are going to be back to being the **** next year, especially with Oscar coming in.

Harler=Turn over machine.....

 

[VaDave]

And Haley... misses free throw.... again

 

[WVUALLEN]

McCabe is starting to turn it all around.

 

[deedoubleyou]

Horton scores. There is a TV somewhere in Fairmont that is now in need of being wiped clean and disinfected. .

 

[WVUALLEN]

Horton chunks up a quick 3 and misses the back board and nearly shoots it to the 3rd row. Then watches his man fly by and score. He could be the next Harler.

What are you smoking? Harler is in the bottom of the list for TO's on the team.

Haley is 3-4 FT today.

 

[WVUALLEN]

McCabe proving Pride doesn't know squat. Speed and defense is in his game.

5-12 / 2-6 / 9 assist / 12 points

 

[WVex-pat in GA]

Just in case you didn't know, Cowboys DT Irving faces suspension and the 49ers place franchise tag on Kicker Gould.

WtF is up with the ticker?

Win or lose this kid has come a long way in a short period of time.

McCabe and Culver are putting up some epic numbers tonight. This game should've been over in reg. These refs are pathetic. I dont like the B12

If Knapper played last 2 games he lights up scoreboard and we win both. McCabe got major minutes without having to share. Let Knapper play 2 in a row against Baylor, TCU without sharing minutes and he would score 30 each game.

Knapper in 3 overtime’s would score 40 points. McCabe found some confidence getting all those reps and minutes. He got more comfortable. If anything Knapper and Beetle have pushed Beetle out.

Remember Knapper already had breakout performances. McCabe finally did but it was 3 overtime’s with no other option to play but him. Let Knapper play 3 overtime’s and 55 minutes and he scores 40 points tonight against lowly struggling TCU.

 

[WVUALLEN]

McCabe showing Knapper he needs to stay on the bench.

McCabe had 12 before the OT. McCabe had 12 last week.

Loved watching the ones who want to play tonight.

 

[skygusty_rivals]

Two good games in a row from McCabe. I like that. Great to get a win.

Your magic 8 ball from Spencer’s was wrong.

 

[WVUALLEN]

McCabe is feeling it now. Playing defense and offense.

 

[deedoubleyou]

We are seeing the future is bright and Huggs hasnt lost the team. Addition by subtraction. Esa Ahmad is the biggest bust in WVU history. Hargett could take him to school lol.

Anyway I feel bad for Temple and Memphis fans for having to miss pretty much the entire first half of their game....

McCabe had 11 Asst and 4 TO's. Knapper couldn't come close to touching those numbers.

 

[SUKEERS]

I'm guessing TCU set an opponent record vs Bob Huggins teams tonight. I would be surprised if another team has scored more than 194 points in the regular season vs any Huggins squad.

It is a shame that Pride has made Knapper a bad word. He still has a role to play as a Junior and Senior.

I think Knapper plays both guard spots but only as a sixth man or reliever.

 

[Butler-eer]

You always need quality players coming off the bench. Especially guys that can back up multiple positions. IMO McCabe, Beetle and Haley are much more suited as PG's even though Beetle and Haley aren't true PG's. We have yet to see how McBride pans out. We could throw him into that mix after he gets here.
