WVSports.com and the WVU Fan Store are teaming up to offer you a chance to win free WVU gear for doing nothing more than participating in our game threads for WVU football and basketball games.

For the remainder of the basketball season when you post in our game thread you will be entered into a drawing for one of two $10 gift cards to the WVU Fan Store (http://westvirginia.rivalsfanstore.com/).

Several hours before each game we will start a game thread and again all you have to do is share your thoughts on the game. All we ask is that you actually give some thought to your post rather than simply going with a one or two word post in an effort to be in the drawing. Also there may be a few surprise items added along the way.

Within 24 hours following each game we will pick two winners randomly and you will be emailed your gift certificate code. While we obviously encourage you to use the card to buy Mountaineer gear you are welcome to use it to buy anything offered, which includes pro sports apparel and fan items.

Good stuff Vernon.

Need someone not name Carter, Miles, or Konate to step up big.

Sags was fouled on his dunk...so there is one miss by the officials.

 

[wilmingtoneer]

Let's Go Mountaineers! It would be great after the middle of the year if they can win the tournament. I will be the first to say that I said Bob had lost the team. I was wrong and am glad that I was wrong.

Saw that.

 

[WVUFanForever]

So Desosusa can run over a player trying to inbound the ball then talk trash to Sags after the dunk and its all good with these officials.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Some possessions I see good movement on offense and others where WVU is stuck in cement.

 

[Die HardEER]

....all I want is a fair shot....we can win toe-to-toe....

 

[Dudeage85]

It is now time. JC and Dax and the best coach in America - Bob Huggins have earned this and deserve this. If the refs pull this one from us, there is no real justice. JC WILL, DAX SKILL, KONATE DESIRE wins this!

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Graham with a walk ... but layup good

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

How many open 3's are we going to give them?

 

[WVUFanForever]

So now Kansas can't miss a three....just great.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Fair is fair. Teddy may have gotten away with a travel himself.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Another blown lead ... damnit guys. I mean KU is shooting lights out, but that's not an excuse for our offense sucking balls.

 

[wilmingtoneer]

Apparently we are going to give them a lot of open threes. And backdoor dunks as well. Someone has to get hot and keep us in the game like Dax did the other night.

 

[WVUFanForever]

Two 10-0 runs for Kansas after we had built leads of 8 then 7.

Just unreal.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Not like we did not have opportunities.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Now just heaving up shots ... not looking good.

We don’t know how to play off screens because our guys have never seen one in practice.

No one on our team knows how to set a screen, so how can we practice our defense?

Huggins needs to watch these games with Kansas on tape and learn something from Self. That’s why Self is HOF and Huggs isn’t.

 

[wilmingtoneer]

There is just some kind of block with this team and Kansas. Where is West, put Harler in! Somebody has to hit a shot.

Dumb

 

[wilmingtoneer]

Their are on fire. There is no way they shoot like this forever, but they are definitely hitting tonight. They are killing us with the three.

 

[manwithoutahome]

Breaking my heart. :cry:

 

[hancockeer]

So goodbye we suck again

I was afraid of this.
West, Harris, Ahmad did bumpkis

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

15-27 from 3 for KU. Still not an excuse for that absolute garbage offense down the stretch. Throwing up contested shots and letting them get screens and back door cuts like it's pregame warmups.

 

[EERs 3:16]

Stop letting Carter drive towards the basket..i

 

[WVUFanForever]

A 25-7 run for Kansas to end the game because we quit running offense and started jacking up threes, which we couldn't hit.
