I think I can count on one hand, the number of bad shots we took. We had 18 assists to KU's 10. And, although we did not shoot poorly, it could have been much better if we had made more of the open looks we had. Many of our shots were of the uncontested or nearly uncontested variety. It is certainly true that KU did not shoot it well, a combination of good D and poor shooting. But it is also true that if your take Andre out of the equation, we only shot 37% from the floor. So it is not like we shot lights out to win this one.
It is also true that we outrebounded the much taller KU squad. On both the offensive and defensive glass. We had 18 assists on 26 made FG's. They had only 10 assists on 19 made FG's. When was the last time we out assisted KU at the Phog? A remarkable victory that given the circumstances (injuries and travel woes) will go down as one of WVU's very finest. Truly remarkable.
