If they ever wanted revenge for that game, the time is now.

Should be interesting. Feels like we either get absolutely blown out the gym or pull a very close one out.

 

[eer2eer]

We won the last 3 or 4. It's almost automatic.

Or lose a close one because they gave up a lead in final minute.

 

[Vernon]

WVU's starting five. Noah Farrakhan, Kerr Kriisa, RaeQuan Battle, Quinn Slazinski and Akok Akok.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Too many horrible shots

 

[locustwv]

Long droughts kill us.

 

[dangerousdaneerfan]

So much for the "mental health" break.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Blowout city. Money well spent on the transfers. Going on 5:30 minutes without a basket, only 1 point (FT) during that span.

All they need is an actual coach.

Ooohhh......that's what it is?

 

[MountaineerWV]

Can't rebound. Can't shoot. Can't score.

 

[locustwv]

6 points in 10 minutes

 

[MountaineerWV]

6 points in 10 minutes

Those guys still cashing those checks though.

EDIT: Even more troubling, we have given up 10 offensive rebounds already.

 

[locustwv]

I would’ve never thought we’d only be down 2 at half.

 

[MountaineerWV]

All they need is an actual coach.

So.......did Eilert suddenly learn how to coach the last 8 minutes? You were quick to blame him for everything.

We are playing zone and tO$U is chucking up three's like its no tomorrow.

2-15 let them chuck away

 

[WVUALLEN]

Ohio State getting all those offensive rebounds is a killer. (12-2)

 

[WVUALLEN]

Is it Farrakhan's turn to shoot the most shots? 2-10 (the rest of the team combined 6-15)

 

[MountaineerWV]

Oh, so the players switched to the zone. And they decided to make some shots. Coaching staff had nothing to do with that.......until it doesn't work.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Here we go again.

 

[MountaineerWV]

For some guys out there, the worst place the ball can hit them is their hands. Good grief.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

If we can avoid putrid shot selection, we might have a chance in this game.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Battle is completely out of control out there.

 

[MountaineerWV]

WE CANNOT HELP/LEAVE THAT GUY! Good grief.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Is it Farrakhan's turn to shoot the most shots? 2-10 (the rest of the team combined 6-15)

He's our best guard. Not even close. He can do things none of the others can.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Not good coaching, sticking with the zone way too long. It hasn’t worked largely all half

Fouls? And we were actually rebounding better out of the zone.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Jamison Battle killing us because we keep helping off him. WE CAN'T DO THAT

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Fouls? And we were actually rebounding better out of the zone.

Sure for the first part of the second half but at this point I’d switch it. Even if only every other possession. They have it figured out at this point. We’ve gotten lucky with them missing some open shots though so maybe it’ll work out.

Got a chance to tie or win in final 40 seconds. I'd say it's been effective.

 

[MountaineerWV]

LET"S GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! On a miss, WE MUST BE PHYSICAL AND REBOUND. The final seconds, refs aren't going to call any "over-the-back" fouls.

 

[MountaineerWV]

We should have 0.6 seconds

 

[MountaineerWV]

Gayle Jr. Season 13 PPG......tonight, 32. Damn.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Well F**K. thought it was going our way.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

And it’s why we will lose
