Trust the collapse.

Sometimes we hang in for a half, but I do think we lose again by Atleast 20.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Trust the collapse.

And a toast......

I wanted things to work for Josh. Waited, watched, hoped…

But this team doesn’t do one thing well enough to win against any P5 team. Not having a punchers chance against any other team is on coaching.

Would love to eat crow on this!

Bob should have stuck with drinking and walking.

Not having the same line up majority of the season is not a big plus.

i get that. but a good coach identifies something his team can do well and accentuates it. this team seems like they never have a plan, or any focus.

again, i will love to be proven wrong

 

[WVUBRU]

I've watched almost every minute of the season and am not negative on the team or coach. But I honestly don't know anything on the court with the players we have that we do well. Maybe free throws is above most past years. But we don't go to the basket enough to get to the foul line in the numbers that a higher made percentage makes a difference in terms of winning any games we have lost. No coach would make this roster into a winner.

Ummm....not being mean......it's because they are not very good at most skill sets. Stats prove it. Rebounding. Shooting. Turnover ratio.

Bob should have stuck with drinking and walking.

Bob did nothing wrong. It was the evil people who took notice of his actions that are the problem.

 

[Vernon]

Starting five - Johnson, Kirrsa, Battle, Harris, and Suemnick

 

[WVUALLEN]

Starting five - Johnson, Kirrsa, Battle, Harris, and Suemnick

interesting lineup.

 

[locustwv]

How long can we hang in the game?

 

[WVUALLEN]

Battle tackled at line scrimmage and no call.

 

[skygusty]

Suemnick to the highlight reel!

 

[WVUALLEN]

How long can we hang in the game?

will be in it until first substitutions begin.

 

[locustwv]

will be in it until first substitutions begin.

Battle with 2 fouls hurts!!!

 

[MountaineerWV]

Might have been worst call I've seen this year. Guy for Texas JUMPS for a shot, comes down, no walk called. Wow.

 

[MountaineerWV]

SIX turnovers for WVU already.

Make that SEVEN.........EIGHT now.;.....NINE now

 

[WVUALLEN]

Good thing Texas is also in a drought and turning the ball over.

 

[WVUALLEN]

4 stand around 1 dribbles and shoots.

 

[WVUALLEN]

I'm not impressed with Texas. When Suemnick can put a move on you and dunk it then you pretty much suck.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Suemnick playing like he's possessed by the spirit of Kobe Bryant.

 

[deedoubleyou]

I'm loving the emergence of Suemnick. Explosive dunks! Good first half.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Mr. Turnover at it again with his live ball TOs leading to points. Single handedly leads to 7-0 run.

 

[locustwv]

This is where we usually fall apart.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Mr. Turnover get`s his 4th 3 of the game.

 

[WVUALLEN]

This is where we usually fall apart.

I think Texas is still worn out from the UC game.

 

[locustwv]

I think Texas is still worn out from the UC game.

We are hanging in there for sure.

 

[WVUALLEN]

We are hanging in there for sure.

Make our foul shots and we can win.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Texas 18 turnovers has been key in this one.

We’ve actually rebounded decent tonight too.

 

[WVUALLEN]

We’ve actually rebounded decent tonight too.

Texas is first opponent that has not taken advantage of our weaknesses.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Two more points off live ball turnover.

 

[locustwv]

Free throws killing us!!!

 

[MountaineerWV]

Moving screens have been a point of emphasis….until now.
