I watched most of the Mountaineers vs. Cougars contest. We have a talented and well-disciplined group of ballers that played their hearts out. We need to get at least a couple players back from injuries or we'll always have issues with fatigue late in games.

Don't think that will happen.

I agree. Devries and Stone are done for the season.

What you see is what you get. They ain't coming back.

ESPN+ must be the Mountaineer's new home. Apparently been relegated to second class.

As long as the coverage is good and I’m able to watch I really don’t care but lately it’s been terrible at times.

Why are these games never on regular ESPN? I know the TV deals have changed, but you would think they would at least show the better games. Used to have the 'big' Monday or whatever day of the week it was to show a big ten and big xii game back to back. Seems Fox would carry more as well.

I believe the TV contract with the Big 12 requires each team to play X amount of games on ESPN+. And X number of those games have to be 'big" games.

See Big 12 contract. Your answer will appear.
