Close game so far. This thing is going to go a full six hours or more with the score tied at 0-0.

Konate out?

Knapper suspended

Harler recorded exactly 4 fouls on the stat sheet against TTU. The only stat he recorded at all actually. If he missed the plane I bet its because Huggins wanted him to.

Konate out?

Bolden limited?

Harler miss the plane?

He really missed the plane?

 

[skygusty_rivals]

McCabe more efficient and comfortable on offense, but defensively he has a ways to go. Lots of blow bys.

And what about Haley? Can't dribble, pass, shoot, rebound.........plays the most.

 

[locustwv]

Need to let McCabe get into some type of rhythm or groove. He’s the future at point. Culver is a beast too.

His defense is better than Bolden or McCabe and he has height and age but mostly kind of vanilla.

 

[TexasTrill2018]

Both teams are having huge issues.

Texas' bigs are playing like crap
But
WV's guards are allowing penetration. Cannot guard Texas off the dribble.

I will go with the guards

 

[WVUBuck]

Huggins has no currency with the refs anymore. Team getting strong armed.

 

[MountaineerWV]

And scores ZERO points and allows double teams on his side of the court. I'll take points over defense at this point.

 

[sg44gold]

I won't critizie individuals tonight.

Overall, I saw a LOT of effort. Everybody playing hard. I saw a team that wanted to WIN.

 

[WVUALLEN]

McCabe defended better when we played zone more than man to man.

Says the man who stated they would block Konate from all team activities just a few minutes ago? Glad you aren't going to "criticize individuals tonight".

Still not fixed.

There isn't a clearly superior player sitting on the bench. Its going to be a rotation of five guys, none of which are ready to run the point. I'd like to see McCabe get some minutes every game. I saw improvement in his game last night. Late in the game he had some more pointless dribbling when the rest of the team stopped moving without the ball. This team would be a completely different story if we had a good point guard.

Actually, I was talking about the players that actually played. I saw a LOT of effort last night. I feel better today than I did last Thursday.

You can't have 5 PG's. It's like rotating a QB out there every possession. Pick one, go with him, and see what happens. McCabe would be my choice.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Still not fixed.

You're right....Huggs should have fixed the problems in 2 days.

 

[WVpride304]

Last year we didn’t have a great scoring shooting guard or scoring wing. That’s why we only got to sweet 16 and stopped. Good scorers don’t come to play for Huggs. JC saved his job the last 2 years.

Knapper and McCabe at PG, equal minutes until one of them is clearly better, Start Bolden at SG, Harler subbing. Haley is a pinch hitter.
