ESPN picks WVU to win Big 12 tournament

[Cuyahoga Falls Eers]

ESPN’s Jeff Borzello picks WVU to win the Big 12 tournament.

His assessment:

“Kansas has won just one of the past four Big 12 tournaments, despite winning the regular-season title each season, and West Virginia has lost in the title game each of the past two seasons. The Mountaineers’ Press Virginia style is draining on opponents on short rest.”

I hope ESPN gets this right obviously, but
Big 12 teams understand Press Virginia by now, they prepare well.
The Big Tourney teams.... maybe not so well.

Actually we don't press like we did the past 2 seasons. We are to young and inexperienced to do this aggressively. With only 2 seniors and no depth like the past 2 years it made it difficult.

Doesn't matter if you understand the press.Teams have always known how to beat a press. The biggest issue is do they have the talent. Also an issue with the pressing team having the talent to do so.
