Terrible ending. Stupid foul, turnovers, missed free throws and nobody taking the shot. U G L Y
Quite a bit of the team coming back. Need a shooter

It's hard to win when you only shoot 26% from the floor. Maybe that's a tribute to Gonzaga's defense ? Anyway it was a good year. I thought if we could have gotten past Gonzaga we would have made it to the championship game but it wasn't to be.
3 games where each team had a shot at the end to win or in WVU's case tie. I didn't watch any of the WVU game, except for a couple of minutes during halftime of Michigan game, and brief moments during time outs. Thought Michigan was going to pull that out, despite not getting a good effort out of the German. It wasn't meant to be though.
Can we now start talking about Football? Did you boys call 1-800-The Herd yet?

Nah, WVU wasn't a good shooting team for most of the season. When the Fold & Blew wasn't able to get a lot of layups off of turnovers, they didn't shoot well. The first two games of the Tournament were aberrational.
No need to, we already have our annual gimme game lined up for the next few years
Not protecting your defensive glass killed y'all in the End. This is a flaw in the Beilein system, but there is a lot to like about his system, too.
He had to make a choice, and chose to go small for the last 8 minutes or so. Seemed to work, but in the end, a couple of bad plays by D.J. Wison really hurt down the stretch. Missed an easy inside shot, and inexcusably didn't box out on that free throw. That was a big game changer down the stretch, but still had a shot at the end to win. I was actually surprised Oregon didn't continue to foul, but perhaps Altman was playing to their psychic, thinking Michigan was expecting to get fouled as opposed to preparing to make a play.
No timeouts left to run anything ... terrible possession
But if Miles makes those free throws we're having a different discussion today.
FT shooting has cost us a lot of games this year, and it cost us again yesterday.
Wilson's late perimeter jumper was horrible, but Michigan allowed two offensive rebounds late, which cost them. (Oregon's offensive rebound of a missed layup with 21 seconds left hurt Michigan, too.) Altman was telling his players to make sure not to foul a shooter, so that's probably why his players didn't commit another foul or two during the last 10 seconds. I've always been against committing an intentional foul with a three-point lead late, but know that many people disagree. I'd agree, if I were sure that my team would be able to secure the rebound on a missed free throw, but I've seen many teams fail to secure the rebound, and I don't want to give the opponent an extra possession. Defend the arc, and make them hit a contested three, is my preference.
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, then we'd all have a very Merry Christmas. If your aunt had balls, then she'd be your uncle. WVU shot 72% from the charity stripe, which is better than its season average.
That phone number causes panic attacks in Morgantown....I don't look for them to dial that number anytime in the near future!
I was actually wondering if the '1-800-The Herd' was confusing them. Do you think it would help if we were to type out the actual numbers for them? The cousins aren't the brightest, you know...
We could type out the numbers and pay for the call but it would help....maybe a backbone/ gonad transplant would aid in the establishment of that tilt. I wouldn't resent the pop tax so much if that occurred!
Just found out that number has been disconnected due to failure to pay bill !
You boys would be better served by just being happy to watch WVU on television like you have been. Begging and whining doesn't look good on your part.
Yep, CuntryTard is in total divert and deflect mode. It was a great night to be a Mountaineer hater wherever you may have been, and no diversionary tactics will change this truism. WVU is still nine Final Four appearances behind tOSU, and will never win that elusive National Title in either of the revenue-producing sports.
