GAME THREAD WVU vs BYU Men's Basketball

[Vernon]

West Virginia (15-8, 6-6) will host BYU (15-8, 6-5) on Tuesday at 7:00 PM ET. The game is on CBS Sports Network.

 

[WVUALLEN]

This would be a clutch win and another step closer.

 

[Vernon]

 

[WVUALLEN]

4 home games left. Protect your house and win all 4.

This game will be WVU defense vs BYU offense.

Would be nice to get two in a row at home.

 

[WVUBRU]

Will be a challenge but if we come out strong on the defensive side, doesn't matter (except for the over-reactors that posts crap during the game on every possession) that we start slow offensively. Just can't let them drive to the basket. Cut them off before they get to the elbow. We do that well, we usually win. We don't, we have disappointing results.

Will be watching the girls game as I don't get the boys and don't want to leave the house tonight.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Would be very good. Cause the next 2 road games are Baylor and Texas Tech with Cincinnati in between them @ Home

 

[Vernon]

Officials: Kipp Kissinger, James Breeding, Rick Crawford

 

[WVUALLEN]

Great it's slip Kissinger officiating. Make your foul shots. There could be a lot of them.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Harris please quit shooting 3`s

 

[WVUALLEN]

Okani continues being on fire.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Hall, king of the push off early

 

[WVUALLEN]

Tenner with a 3

 

[WVUALLEN]

Horrible foul call.

 

[WVUALLEN]

54% foul shooter drains all 3.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Yesufu slammed to to the floor and no call.

 

[WVUALLEN]

BYU another master of the push off.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

BYU another master of the push off.

He’s going to continue doing it until he gets called for it. Also, seeing a few drives offensively where we aren’t getting calls. Disappointing. Now if they keep it consistent, I can live with it, but once we start getting whistled for tic tac or less on their drives, I’m going to get impatient quick.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Kissinger "the mountaineer hater" rings up another cheap call

 

[WVUALLEN]

Neither team shooting well right now.

 

[WVUALLEN]

With Kissinger officiating this game could be another 32 to 2 foul shooting game for our opponent.

 

[WVUALLEN]

A travel and a push off.

 

[WVUALLEN]

They continue to allow Saunders to push off.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

They didn’t want to call that one either

 

[WVUALLEN]

Dirty foul. Should be an FLAG 1

 

[WVUALLEN]

Lucky shot by a guy who just hit his 4th 3 pointer of the year.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Dirty foul. Should be an FLAG 1

I didn’t see the replay. But when you swallow the whistle, fouls get harder.

 

[WVUALLEN]

I didn’t see the replay. But when you swallow the whistle, fouls get harder.

3 guys converged on him and all 3 knocked him to floor hard. Nearly knocking Small out of the game. Judgement call I guess but I would have called it. Hope it doesn't bother him on future plays or games.

BYU is scoring because of the foul line.

 

[Vernon]

 

[locustwv]

Nice 3 to take the lead before half!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

BYU has played 11 guys already. Doing the same thing Utah tried to do. Play hard physical and a lot of guys. Biggest difference between Utah and BYU is they are crushing us on the boards 23-13.

Got to hope we get to the foul line in 2nd half and hit our uncontested shots.

 

[locustwv]

Good start for Small!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

KISSINGER right back to work with a BS call.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Come on Kippy you a-hole. Blow your whistle.

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

Gotta win home games like this to keep our tournament hopes healthy.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Shoot Okani. Dumb foul.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

This team needs that Cam Thoroughman right now

 

[WVUALLEN]

Kippy you need to call the same on both ends.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Demin and Saunders love to push off when they drive.
