Ugh....just tell me what the computers say will be the outcome and I'll go with it.

They've been wrong several times this year.

 

[MountaineerWV]

They've been wrong several times this year.

I was just kidding...........

 

[Vernon]

I was just kidding...........

Yes, I'm familiar with emojis but I was just making a point.

We’ve missed two layups!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

We are up 15 at the half. Cincy who?

 

[locustwv]

It was a nice first half. Let’s hang on and get this win!! We need it!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

First 5 minutes are key.

 

[locustwv]

First 5 minutes are key.

Not much offense in that first half but they haven’t done much either.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Not a great start for either team. Lot of whistles here in 2nd half.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Sincere dumb shot.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Cincinnati has more players. We might run out of them with all these fouls.

 

[locustwv]

Nice steal and dunk!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

Cincinnati might just roll over and stop now. Just keep the defense cranked up.

 

[locustwv]

Yesufu on fire!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

We need him to be that 2nd scoring threat. Hope he's like this the rest of the way.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Fouls are starting to be one sided. We need to be careful here.

I agree and they are on a bit of a run.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Feel much better now.

 

[WVUBRU]

For most of the game, we dominated. End of story.

Let's get another but it will be tougher and a much tougher environment.

 

[locustwv]

Very nice road win… we definitely needed one!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

3-2 on the road.

TCU is a beatable team as they currently sit at 10-10 (3-6). Losing to Colorado at home so far 1st half in an empty frog house.

 

[locustwv]

Then we get Utah at home. A very winnable game

 

[WVUBRU]

Quit looking at stats and records. All games are winnable and equally able to lose. Quit over reacting play by play. Game is played on the court for 40 minutes. We are not a great team but we are dangerous if we play smart with intensity. Even though some blowhards don't believe in depth and legs getting tired this time of the year, it is true. Look at all the upsets yesterday.

Just be a supporter and enjoy this team even though they are very imperfect.

Yep KState followed up their defeat of us by whipping Iowa St on their home court. Anything can happen. I like what Yesufu is bringing to the team.
