Would be nice to win a big road game but we will have to play a perfect game.

Well at least we will see if the Texas game improvement was real or a fluke.

Very true!!

 

[WVUBRU]

When you have the record we have with such roster issues all year, you can't measure "real or fluke" by whether you beat a ranked team on their court. We could play very well and still lose. Be realistic.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Texas was not good in the middle and their guards played poorly. OU strength will go against our weakness. WVU loses the next 2 games. OU, and Kansas.

Dylan Disu would disagree with you. I would agree with you if you said they were not deep in the middle, with injuries. But Disu got what he wanted whenever he wanted (7-12; 18 Points).

Didn't he foul out?

why didn't Texas coaches keep giving him the ball?

Ok so it was mainly their guards exception being the transfer kid from Oral Roberts who couldn't miss anything.

OU and Kansas are both more talented and better coached than Texas.

 

[Vernon]

WVU's starting five - Kriisa, Johnson, Battle, Harris and Suemnick

 

[WVUALLEN]

Good to see Pat is toughing it out and playing.

 

[WVUALLEN]

So OU has lost 2 in a row, TCU and KU

On the road

 

[locustwv]

Not a bad start!!!

 

[deedoubleyou]

Good start!! This is exciting.

 

[MountaineerWV]

That’s 4 live ball turnovers…..glad he’s getting better each game.

Better at what? More risky passes.

 

[MountaineerWV]

You finally seeing it too? Or am I just being a "hater"?

 

[WVUALLEN]

You're always a hater.

He had high assist at Arizona because the PAC teams didn't play defense. Has to be it.

Pat has 4 turnovers and Kiirsa has 1 according to Vernon stat sheet.

Yep. And that may be official, but that is wrong. (Maybe that player's dad is the official score keeper?)

Just add TWO more live ball TO's to someone else in the past 60 seconds.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

How many Gs is Kerr getting per turnover?

 

[WVUALLEN]

How many Gs is Kerr getting per turnover?

Apparently alot.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Apparently alot.

Wish he’d just stick with making the easy play

 

[MountaineerWV]

Do they speak "defense" in Native American languages? Just wondering.

 

[WVUALLEN]

5 points in first 4 1/2 minutes. Awesome.

 

[WVUBRU]

I rarely post during a game, but I'm with you guys on Kriisa. TO machine and have no clue how he had success at Arizona. And Battle defense is horrendous. One of the worst defensive players ever to wear the gold and blue.

I'm frustrated.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Another live ball turnover to someone else other than the guy who turned it over.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

I think I’ve seen more foul calls this year than any other where the refs wait to see if the shooter makes or misses the shot before deciding to blow the whistle, not a good look regardless of who the foul is on

 

[MountaineerWV]

Technical foul for...........???????

That was WEAK A$$ technical.

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Yes, AWFUL technical foul

 

[MountaineerWV]

What has happened to Slazinski? He's a shell of the player he was previously.

 

[WVUBRU]

Big step backwards by the team. First time all year I'm disappointed.

 

[WVUBRU]

What has happened to Slazinski? He's a shell of the player he was previously.

Better competition. And he isn't a power forward but is drawing big guys guarding him and he can't defend against a good 4 or 5.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Big step backwards by the team. First time all year I'm disappointed.

First time? Really.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Simmons whistle.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Second half we are just being pushed and bullied around and it appears as if we don't mind it......

 

[WVUBRU]

First time? Really.

Yes, I'm very patient with this team understanding the issues. But tonight, I'm seeing poor defense, stupid turnovers and the return of selfish play among several players.
