Obviously, WVU’s baskeball strength is when Culver is leading the rebounding and McBride is dishing off the ball for assists.


Derek was the top rebounder in 5 of the 7 Mountaineer games. And top scorer in 3. Our best shot-blocker, too.
McBride has led in assists in 6 games. And the top scorer in 3. And our best ball thief.
Taz Sherman and and Gabe Osabuohlen are our most accurate 3-point shooters.
Sean McNeil, Taz, Miles and Derek all are averaging in double figures in scoring.
If only Oscar would find his way. He’s 2nd in rebounding, 5th in points but his personal fouls bugaboo meant 5 players have more minutes than him.
He has huge potential. But that’s worthless if it doesn’t show up on the court. He’s his own worst enemy when it comes to personal fouls, which puts him on the bench early for game after game.
Osabuohlen impresses me with his improvement. If only Oscar could follow Gabe’s example.
With the Iowa State game at 9 pm Friday on ESPNU starting the Big 12 conference matchups Huggins must be impatient to see Oscar get his act together. I sure am.

Meanwhile, my heart will be on the line as usual when I watch my alma play basketball.
 
This portion of your lengthy post is most hilarious on the part of Gabe being most accurate 3 point shooter. He's 1-6 in his 2 years at WVU and 6-34 at Arkansas for 2 years. He doesn't shoot 3 pointers and probably never should again.
Gabe will be sitting on the bench, a few seconds after he hoist up a 3 pointer.
 
That OU game in a few weeks will tell me where the team is at.

Not because OU is good. They will be a 7-10 seed in the tournament

But because of how OU plays. They spread the floor and are very efficient on the offensive end. Gave WVU all type of problems last year.
