Game tips off at 9 p.m. and we'll have updates here.

 

[lakeers]

I have a feeling Jordan is going to be a good one...great attitude and work ethic.

 

[locustwv]

Need a good start tonight!!!

I would put WVU's edge at 85-15 in fans.

 

[TownesVanZandt]

I flipped over to the WV game and thought it was a women's basketball game...

 

[.Bodhi.]

this team is going to need as much "home court" advantage as possible. Absolutely atrocious, making mid-majors look like KU.

......
KU is struggling with a SunBelt school as well.
Only up by a couple of possessions.

 

[TownesVanZandt]

I guess WKU is CUSA.
But my point stands.

Hopefully WV blows them out cause Rick Stansbury is a whining bitch.
He cried when Miss State had to play Texas in Dallas during the NCAA Tournament.
So screw him.

Why isn't Bolden playing?

 

[Soaring Eagle 74]

Why isn't Bolden playing?

Fouls

 

[thickones]

It certainly feels like the refs are pulling for Western Kentucky to win this one.

 

[WVpride304]

Get Beetle in the back court with McCabe or Knapper. Harler needs to sit a little more.

Esa needs to stop turning ball over so much.

Was Keatoncornerloser really serious with how he took the mock drafts with Lamont West? Lamont West will never be drafted and will never be considered. Why did some believe that nonsense that he could get drafted?

 

[WVUALLEN]

Especially the last 3 minutes were a little whistle nuts.

KU also beat MSU to open the season. I'm inclined to give them a little more slack. WVU, on the other hand, was embarrassed by buffalo and struggled with a terrible Monmouth.

 

[.Bodhi.]

hahahahhahahaha 16 turnovers!!!!!! Just go ahead and cancel the season.

 

[lakeers]

This is some FUGLY basketball being played by WVU in the 2nd half...more turnovers than points

 

[WVpride304]

Wes Harris is a mess so far this year. So much for the he’s doing well in offseason development wise. Lol I knew that was arm chair talk. Very limited ceiling.

Esa is pudding soft. Way too slow and lazy. Lamont West even worse.

 

[WVpride304]

Beetle ice cold from 3 playing sloppy like everybody else. He’s 0-7 from 3 in this tourney so far. What gives.

 

[lakeers]

I have never seen an WV team pass so poorly as this one...19 TO's

I turned off the game and started watching SMU/Memphis.

But..I don't know if WV is really that bad.
I think WKU is a bubble NCAA team.

Much better than playing some sorry small conference team.

 

[BombadEER]

Man this team is terrible

 

[WVUALLEN]

We have no guards

 

[wilmingtoneer]

at this rate we will be impressed if we play 500 ball this year. Does not seem to be anyone capable of taking over at the end of the game. The parts don't match yet.

 

[.Bodhi.]

Don't worry, guys. We have handle-free treadmills to make them puke while "you not good, p*ssy, piece of sh*t, mother f*cker" is yelled at them. That'll cure everything.

My cancel season statement may sound hyperbolic, but this season is done. Charred.

 

[wilmingtoneer]

Would be a great idea to put a shooter or two in the game. Where are they at? McCabe? others?

.500 would be a shock. What team down the schedule looks like a win after what this "team" has shown...not for a half, or game, but THREE games against a cupcake schedule?

 

[WVUFanForever]

22 turnovers and down by 6...

 

[.Bodhi.]

They gotta play "huggs style" ball to get a sniff of the floor. James Harden would sit on the bench for this team because he won't risk breaking a bone for a loose ball.

If you are calling Buffalo and WKU cupcakes, you really don't understand DI basketball.

 

[wilmingtoneer]

And I believe Bob will get them better. But this puzzle is a lot harder than we have had in the past. It seems like Konate is playing for the NBA. Bob needs to tell him to go inside.

 

[.Bodhi.]

Yep, last I checked this team was preseason 13, in the B12, played in conference championships back to back years as well as two Sweet 16s. Buffalo and WKU should be viewed as "cupcake."

 

[.Bodhi.]

And I believe Bob will get them better.

Why? It's not like Buffalo and WKU have played 15 games this season. Both are as "untested and raw" as us. Why have they looked so put together against "better" competition?

 

[wilmingtoneer]

Terrible! Wow!

 

[.Bodhi.]

What are the odds there are more than 1000 at the Coliseum for Rider?

 

[WVpride304]

I’m glad Esa is a Senior cause I can’t take another year. He needs benched. He is absolutely terrible all too often.

Also Wes Harris is hideous. He should have been kicked off for punching that guy over the summer. He wouldn’t be missed. He can’t do anything at this level. He is D2 caliber.
