GAME THREAD West Virginia basketball vs. Massachusetts

[Keenan Cummings]

The game will tip-off at 7 p.m. Friday night and be televised by ESPN+.

 

[WVUALLEN]

This will be as close to a Big 12 game so far as it can be.

Frank Martin has physical teams. UMASS boat raced WVU last year. This will be a very physical team with a big guy in the middle for UMASS.

How will they handle a guy who dominates the boards? Should be interesting matchup.

UMASS on a bit of a run. Need a few baskets!!!

Martin should get some wins out of that team.

Nice win for WVU!!

 

[WVUBRU]

Yes, very nice. Somehow need to get tougher underneath. We are weak inside. As long as we are hitting shots, we have a chance but against top talent, it is going to be tougher than this.

Would've helped if officiating was better and they called some of those holds and pushes by UMass players.

We got a look at how teams felt when they played a Bob Huggins team.

WVU won rebounding battle 34-32

 

[WVUBRU]

This team has a chance to be a top 8 team in the conference, not a top 4. But I will take top 8 if we can do it. Regardless, I will enjoy the season as I love the talent on the court and how they play. I haven't said that in several years.

Top 8 in B12 makes tourney I'd imagine
