WVSPORTS.COM WVU bests Pitt in the Backyard Brawl 69-59
- Thread starter Keenan Cummings
- Start date
Intensity and aggression spiked ... finally.
Still tons of mistakes, but great improvement despite the torrent of turnovers, which at times were offset by making Pitt turnover the turnover. WVU turnovers that become WVU points are a bad-good thing!!!
Less dribbling and more quick passes from player to player, which is tougher to defend than one guy dribbling like a defective Globetrotter.
Sags was his old self in shot-blocking and on the boards. Bolden is his fiery, aggressive self.
A lot of works in progress. But a lot of progress in the work they're doing.
Pitt at 7-2 wasn't chopped liver, either.
I expect Huggs to have them ready for the Big 12. Not to beat Kansas (nobody does) but to be competitive.
And then have them ready for March Madness. As Huggins does every season.
I feel much better. Not over-confident. But no longer despondent. Progress. Small steps.
On to the Rhode Island game a week from Sunday!!!!
Treadmill and Huggins' demeanor and words are working at full speed again. I love it!!!!
