Can we get a road win?

Negative, ghost rider.

 

[locustwv]

Negative, ghost rider.

Never know. I agree with ya but stranger things have happened.

 

[WVUALLEN]

ISU by 20. It's the norm for WVU road games. They couldn't even win at Oklahoma State.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Can we get a road win?

Our best chance for a road win might be Cincinnati.

 

[locustwv]

I’m calling a big road win this weekend. I gotta a feeling. Sometimes that a bad thing though.

So then, you think we are going to play good?

 

[WVUALLEN]

So then, you think we are going to play good?

At least for 8 minutes.

 

[Vernon]

WVU's starters are Kobe Johnson, Kerr Kriisa, RaeQuan Battle, Jesse Edwards and Quinn Slazinski.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Live ball turnovers. Shocking.

 

[locustwv]

Got off to a great start but have made some bad turnovers to let the cyclones right back in.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Harris has been playing well recently. I like that kid

Copy-paste from game #1

Still can’t play a lick of defense. Let the opponent drive the ball into the lane every possession. The guy who a week ago wrote on here that it’s hard to play defense with one foot out the door was spot on.

I think our 8 minutes are over!!

Iowa State plays the style that we once did under Huggins. In your face half-court defense. Rebound.

Bet their coach won’t ruin their program by drinking and driving in the offseason.

This team is pushing Catlett’s last season

That team didn’t win a conference game.

That we know of. Give him time.

 

[locustwv]

I think they may have won 1 conference game.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Once again shooting 50% but can't hang onto the ball and getting beat on the boards. No defense.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Womens team is better and would probably beat the men's team if on the road.

 

[spreadoption]

For the record, that Catlett team did win one conference game, beating Providence. The odd thing is it won early in the year at Tennessee and then the wheels fell off.

Was that the Drew Shafino situation year?

 

[locustwv]

Can tie with this free throw!!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

I'll get it excited if we lead after the end of the game. Lead 2nd half 18-10. But we all know they go through periods where they turn it over often and go anywhere from 5 to 9 minutes without a made basket.

So I'll get excited after the game ends and we win.

No, Schifino was later. This team had Hargett hogging the ball. Josh Yeager was on that team and I forget who else.

Drew was a freshman on that team and avg 9.7 points a game. Average 21.8 minutes a game in 28 games.

WVU started that season 7-2 and finished 1-18.

 

[locustwv]

Back to the crazy live ball turnovers!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

Back to the crazy live ball turnovers!!!

We are not allowed to have nice things.

 

[WVUALLEN]

18 turnovers and counting.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Have not scored in 3 minutes and ISU on an 8-0 run. Turnovers at 20 and rising.

 

[locustwv]

Have we even took a shot in the last 5 possessions?

 

[WVUALLEN]

Have we even took a shot in the last 5 possessions?

Just did and it was not a smart shot.

 

[WVUALLEN]

The women are down 10 late in 4th.

 

[locustwv]

Well the last 5 minutes have been nothing but horrible basketball!! I thought we had a chance at 51-50. We haven’t scored since!!

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Why would Edwards get a rebound in the post and kick it out? Our offense is putrid. Let’s keep backing up to half court as much as possible. Especially when charges are no longer charges

 

[WVUALLEN]

The women now lead 65-64 with 55 seconds left in game.
