Here's why basketball team is struggling.....what we are missing....
- Thread starter MountaineerWV
- Start date
I don't disagree. If WVU wins it all or fails miserably, we'll all live on regardless but what do you expect? This is a free WVU sports message board so you're going to get a lot of that same reaction to what's shaping up to be about a 15 win team.
Anyone who thinks they know how many victories this Huggins team will win is delusional. There's a wide range of possibilities from terrible to oh, wow! depending on a lot of elements. Too many to list or predict how they will affect the victories total.
As usual, I'll wait till I watch for myself before becoming a Henny Penny or a Cockeyed Optimist.
That's the fun of it, seeing what happens on the court.

You know that it's OK to "predict" things, right? I wonder if you are the type of person who picks his lottery numbers AFTER they have already held the lottery......

No lame basketball season acronym? I'd ask for an honest, fact-based, numbers-crunched, sports opinion but as a former writer for the central county valley Ohio springs republic, you seem light on analytics even after working in the business for 70 years. This team does not shoot well enough to overcome its lack of forced turnovers and offensive rebounds. It must have been a lot easier to cover sports in Williamson, no?
Villanova lost to Penn last night........time for Jay Wright to step up his recruiting!
This is a final 4 team yall- Pride304
Horton will replace Carter easily- Pride304
Knapper shoots better than Dax Miles- Pride304

Probably took you three to four flights to get to Gainesville.
Funny thing about UF.
Both them and Auburn pretty much played every year before expansion because they were considered to be the outposts of the SEC
Yeah, I hear ya. But...2 nattys in 3 years will buy a mulligan or two
No such thing. Must fire all coaches who don't start off 10-0...
Yeah, same coach who makes 4 million a year to get to the Sweet Sixteen.
Amazing how losing the Big12 Championship game and winning only two games in the tournament every year is starting to look a little less than stellar.
Considering the money Huggins is making compared to coaches who actually have CHAMPIONSHIPS. If they only had 800 wins and a 2nd round PG though....
Until Huggs changes assistants there will not be a long-term improvement. They have a set
way to evaluating recruits and without changes in staff there won't be a change in that
system of evaluation - we just have to deal with it. Don't get me wrong I don't like it one bit,
but it's just the way it is. This process has resulted in 1) not properly evaluating recruits about
what it takes to be a major college play (ie going to class and working hard in gym). 2) general attitude
on being coachable (understanding that they did successfully in high school probably won't work
in college 3) in connection with #2 be willing to change style of play to fit in 4) repeating WILLING TO WORK
HARD AND FOLLOW coaches' direction.
To me these four things are not emphasized or evaluated enough during the recruiting process - just look
back. This bunch seems to be lacking each of these in a big way.
