I thought WVU would control tonight's game. Once that Mountaineer defense kicks in they're tough to deal with.

Very sloppy so far in 1st half. Shots not falling, lot of fouls.

 

[WVUBRU]

I love our defensive intensity and excellent passing from our bigs. Keep shooting, it will come.

Nothing burger

 

[WVU_Dave]

Total BS

 

[MountaineerWV]

HOLY SH!T. WOW.

 

[WVU_Dave]

Really mid range jumper and miss the rim? Gotta settle down.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Blowout city. Damn.

Women are in 2nd half for those that may want to switch it over. They have turned it on start of 2nd half. Up 58-33 now.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Freaking PATHETIC. Just load up the bus and go home if this is how this team is going to play against a rival.

 

[locustwv]

This is rough!!!

 

[MountaineerWV]

35-14.........go home. Team isn't any better than last year.

Gonna be a long year, especially when our best player can't get open at all against a mediocre Pitt team.

Looks like 1) we aren't sniffing anything close to those points and 2) Pitt may reach that by halftime.

SPitt can't freakin miss it seems! Tough game.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Small and Devries are NOTHING out there. Long year if teams can lock them down.

February 14, 2025.........can't come quick enough.

 

[locustwv]

Maybe this lights a fire!! Hopefully it does!!

It only gets tougher from here. If you expected this team to make the tournament you now know why that was never happening.

Did I expect Tournament? No. Did I expect better than last year? Yes. And we aren't there yet. Tonight's team was worse than last year's.
