Battle's adrenaline has to be off the charts! Hope he can reign it in. Very happy for the young man, can't imagine the relief he feels. Let's goooo.

Definitely. Kerr and Noah have to feel similar. That’s a rare situation getting three in one game.

Battle is going to be jacked up for sure. Where is this game being played?

Even though these players have been practicing, there is nothing like in game chemistry and conditioning. Don't be surprised if it is a little bit sloppy and nerves among all players. Be patient with this lineup as it will take a few games to get the right chemistry with these additions.

Battle not expected to play????

 

[MountaineerWV]

Damn. One of our guys needs to wake up. And like now!

Edwards getting murdered under basket.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Best big man on the court is NOT wearing Blue/Gold. Sad, too. Shouldn't be that way, but it is.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Edwards getting murdered under basket.

Doesn't matter. He has next-level talent against an inexperienced team.

This is a Frank Martin team. They are going to take cheap shots. That's who he is.

 

[MountaineerWV]

So far.......not going to change my prediction......10 wins.

 

[deedoubleyou]

A first half *** kicking.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

This team is going to eventually have to want to play defense to be competitive.

 

[Panhandleer]

Why isn't Battle playing?

 

[locustwv]

Why isn't Battle playing?

Flu

Flu

 

[skygusty_rivals]

No rebounding, no defense. Offense will take some time to adjust to Krisa.

Edwards looks like a JV player out there. No being disrespectful, just stating the obvious.

 

[locustwv]

We are just chucking up 3’s hoping they go in!!

 

[MountaineerWV]

Amazing to watch UMASS get anything they want in the post. And we have a big man with "next level talent" who doesn't want any part of it.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Guy shooting 21% from three has hit FIVE

Maybe he has the “flu” too

 

[MountaineerWV]

Maybe he has the “flu” too

Maybe so.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Guy double dribbles in front of TWO refs......no whistle. Amazing. But if a player or coach says something, getting fined. Refs screw up, nothing.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Guys better have their head on a swivel now that Krissa is running point.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Guy shooting 21% from three has hit FIVE

Make that SIX threes for him.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Edwards immediately comes in and gets beat and fouls. He's just not in to it tonight. We were better with him on the bench.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Freaking fast break and can't convert.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Out-rebounded 45-31. Ridiculous. UMASS with 8 freshman.

 

[MountaineerWV]

After tying game, WVU has went 0-7 from the field. Scoreless......

 

[locustwv]

I thought we were gonna pull it off there for a while.

If Edwards would have shown up, we would have.
