2019-20: Missouri ?
 
Mizzou should be playing K State or Iowa State

But Auburn is quality. Most of these matchups are because of last year's record combined with some other things.
WV should be playing a SEC East team and not Mizzou.
But both Tennessee and Kentucky were good last year and S Carolina didn't get an invite
 
Maybe in Football.

Bama's entire basketball team left.
Going to take Nate Oats a few years.
 
K-State lost their top 3 scorers from last year. They have meaningless production returning from last years team.

Cartier Diarra- 7.0 / 37 games
James Love III- 0.7 / 22 games

Makol Mawien 6.8 / 37 games
Pierson McAtee 0.3 / 15 games
Mike McGuirl3.3 / 12 games
Shaun Neal-Williams1.4 / 30 games
Xavier Sneed 7.1 / 35 games
Levi Stockard III 1.8 / 35 games

Alabama has
Kyra Lewis 34 starts and 13.5 a game
added James Bolden from WVU
added Jahvon Quinerly from Villinova
John Petty 29 starts 10.2 points a game

Bama looks to have the better returning players with experience. With quality transfers.

Looks like Bruce "Cry Baby" Weber will be back to his crying ways.
 
Unless Diarra, Mawien, and Sneed ALL step up for K State and average 15-20 per game.

Then your theory about returning scoring is out the window.
 
PPG in basketball....
Someone is going to score the ball.

Diarra, Sneed and McGurl these are all players who can start in the Big 12.
 
It's not about putting up big numbers it is about scoring and/or holding your competition to one point less. Good way to do that when you are a young team is to shorten the game by developing your run game and controlling time of possession. WVU is heavy in running backs and light in receivers and proven quarterbacks so....stats on points and yards etc mean nothing at this time. Hit 'em in the mouth...a little pain takes away their motivation.

Missouri is an SEC east team.
 
That WV/K State game last year was maybe the best game of the year in the Big 12.

I guess you dislike Weber and K State but that game changed the season for both teams.

McGurl who still is there was killing you from deep
I don't think they had Brown or Wade in that game.

Last season was the worst in WVU basketball history. You won’t see a repeat of that. We may not win the B12, but we won’t be anywhere near the mess we were last season.
 
Point being...

Alabama is horrible.
A couple of transfers and returning players isn't enough.

When Avery Johnson was fired the entire team bailed.
Petty came close to leaving as well.
Even the Bama fans who care about basketball will tell you they won't be any good.

K State has brought back enough to be a competitive on the court.
Diarra is a good player on both ends of the floor.
 
It's an L blow on it chump. Or rub some dirt on that blister.
 
You get so worked up over stupid stuff.

Pretty funny. Then you start following someone around.
 
I will leave that to you WVAllen..

Your buddy OSUgrad is correct about you TBone.
You pretty much ruin any message board you post on.

With today's never ending number of games for college teams it would be easy to count a season's success by either raw number of wins or raw number of losses. However, while the past season was a bummer it wasn't the worst by a long shot. The real comparison is difference between number of wins and losses. Six last year doesn't come close. The 2001-02 squad coached by Gale Catlett played only 28 games but still lost 12 more than it won finishing 8-20. That team also stumbled to a 1-15 mark in the Big East. That is the worst season in WVU basketball history. Of course he also coached the runner up bad season in 1998-99 when the Mountaineers went 10-19...nine more losses that wins.

Again, that said, I agree this past season was awful.
