GAME THREAD Official Game Thread -- WVU vs Texas Tech
- Thread starter Vernon
- Start date
May only be Texas Tech, but this is the biggest game for WVU this season. Yes, I said it. Seeing if this group can bounce back after a disappointing loss, at home, and having to do it on the road. A win and all things are better.....an loss and......
It seems that first Texas and now Texas Tech is able to deny penetration by West Va. Williams and Nate are both big enough but not agile enough to take the inside pass and make the opposition pay. Ain't but one way to break this up. Our guards must shoot or dish off the drive.
Nate has either been told not to shoot or he doesn't want to shoot. In either case, there's a complete lack of confidence in his shot. The issue is that other teams know Nate is not going to shoot...........so they are free to guard and otherwise block the passing lanes.
WVU victory and Mountaineers are in FIVE-way tie for first place in the toughest basketball conference in America.
Half the conference is in the top 25 and 7 of 10 are expected to make March Madness, which would set up all-Big 12 Final Four.
No cakewalks on the road, in particular, where 70% of victories go to home team.
Now, let's shoot down the Red Raiders!!!

We've had a 2012 football team kind of week - big win followed by bouts of self-inflicted bad games. This is probably our easiest remaining road game.
It's now official. We ARE the dumbest team in America.We're losing by 3, then we start talking sh*t.
The only thing worse than our defense today is this color guy. English must be a third language for him and this is the first basketball game he's ever seen.
We don't deserve to be within 15 points of this team. TT totally outhustling us and playing far, far smarter basketball.
Because he doesn't want it. That's why he sits. And we are now on the verge of creeping closer away from a lock to a "bubble" type of team. My God. How fast have we fallen. That KU and OU game has killed this team's mojo, when it should have done the opposite.
Well, if you think about it, TT is doing what we could have done against OU and Texas at the FT line and walk away with wins. They have made their FT's when put on the line. And it's paying off for them.
Boy, TT's one bad minute trumped our 35 (at least) bad minutes of basketball. Rather be lucky than good, I guess.
