Should be an interesting game. Let's protect our own court.

Guessing Tucker and Stone are still out? Anyone know how long they will be out?

 

[WVUALLEN]

You might as well prepare yourself for Tucker not returning.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Keep playing like this and we'll be run off the floor in our own house.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Coach should just come out and say it. Tucker is out for the year.

 

[MountaineerWV]

And that’s bullshit. Sorry if people get pissed. “Upper body injury”. But I’m glad he’s still cashing those checks. Good for him.

So you think everybody should play with a shoulder injury.

Back in the day, you played injured. But how do you know the part and severity? They are tight lipped about it. Helping the draft status.

I guess the pre season surgery must of been a lie.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Great end of half play. Ball stayed in one players hands entire time.

Kind of like the entire game so far.

No defense + no offense x out coached = bad loss.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Blow.....out...city

We are seeing a coach (Lloyd) who has been running specific sets against our defense on almost every half court possession. While our coach runs the SAME set against Arizona which usually ends with a bad shot.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Was hoping this wouldn't happen tonight. This could lead to a 3 to 4 game losing streak.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Little spurt there. Harris with two 3's........Not the likely one, but oh well.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Arizona is a terrible 3 point shooting team and they are draining them.

I'll take it. He's now made 4 in past 2 games.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Made our run then sh!t the bed on defense.

 

[MountaineerWV]

 

[locustwv]

Sometimes it’s not your night..

 

[WVUALLEN]

Could be seeing tired legs and minds creeping in due to no depth. Could be seeing the start of house of cards come tumbling down if we don't get some players back.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Eh, just a bad shooting night coupled with poor defense. It’ll be alright. Expected when we finally obtained a top 25 ranking.

This will be the norm if we don't get Tucker and Stone back. We have zero depth now. Zero offensive options (other than Small).

 

[skygusty]

We sure looked one dimensional tonight. The rebounding issues will be a problem all year, defense had no answers and Small cannot be the only offense. Second half adjustment? Hmmmm.
