GAME THREAD WVU vs. Radford

WVU has only 29 points and already ALL 10 players in the game for the Mountaineers have scored. This has to pay off down the road, in the Big 12 and in March Madness. Time to pull away from Radford, though.
 
I can't wait to see how this season's version of Press Virginia does in the Big 12. They seem to have mastered the knack of forcing turnovers without fouling so often. They just harass and cause the other side to panic, like Radford throwing full-court passes from the in-bounds line. 21 turnovers already. I know it's Radford, but it's still impressive. One more OOC and then it's the Big 12 gauntlet. The Baylor-Oklahoma-Texas stretch, in particular, may let us know how far this team might go in March Madness.
 
unfortunately, the big12 slate will tell us nothing about this team's chances in march. never does.

we can glean something from individual match-ups:

zach smith ttu - most athletic player in the conference

mason ku - a smallish, quick guard like the ones that gave us fits this year

forgot his name but texas has a big strong kid at the 4

honestly, i hope we get a 7 seed. we will have trouble with the small quick guards (a la Temple) that we'd see in our first game if we get a better seed.
