PRESS VIRGINIA, AS IT HAS BEEN DONE PROPERLY IN PREVIOUS YEARS, IS DESIGNED TO GAS THE OPPONENTS. IF WVU IS PROPERLY CONDITIONED, AS IT WAS IN PREVIOUS SEASONS, NEARLY EVERY GAME IN THE 4TH QUARTER WENT WVU'S WAY BECAUSE THE OPPONENTS WERE SO TIRED THEY LITERALLY COULDN'T SHOOT STRAIGHT, EVEN WITH FREE THROWS. CONDITIONING, SMART AGGRESSIVENESS (HARASSMENT WITHOUT FOULING EVERY 3 SECONDS), SCORING OFF TURNOVERS WERE HALLMARKS OF PRESS VIRGINIA. THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CHANGED ARE THE PLAYERS ON THIS YEAR'S TEAM. HUGGINS DIDN'T GET STUPID OVERNIGHT. THIS TEAM DID.
Huggins admitted to being backed into a corner when Carter and Miles were freshman. He literally said, "we can't score," so they had to do try something to even the odds. Press Virginia isn't a special style of play like the 90s Arkansas teams. It was done out of necessity in response to a failure to recruit offensively skilled players. Needing twenty turnovers to win a game is not a sign of good things. Imagine Holgerson expecting three interceptions a game to be competitive.
