GAME THREAD WVU vs. Texas A&M

[Keenan Cummings]

Basketball season has returned.

 

[wvpaper]

A lot of folks expecting a disappointing year. Not me though. We’ll find out.

Ramstien rules. I have had some good times there

WVU was having a good time early but now they can't hold onto the ball for anything.

Can't be many folks, thought I saw one early poll had WV around 10. Most I think are anticipating a very successful season.

 

[TarHeelEer]

The NCAA made a rule specifically for our press, huh?

Too much hefeweizen will do that to you

 

[Vernon]

Too much hefeweizen will do that to you

Going to be a long season but there will be many ups along with those downs.

 

[wvpaper]

Struggling early is fine for this team. They will be much better by mid season

 

[MountaineerWV]

BLOWOUT alert.......

 

[MountaineerWV]

Going to be a long season but there will be many ups along with those downs.

Absolutely no half court offense.......

 

[Buster68]

It's basically a new frontline and it's showing. They have talent but not playing like a team. How good was Adrian? Hope we can improve in the second half. This is a tough game to get it all synced.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Over...........rated..........Another reason why preseason polls are worthless. Hope we can rebound and finish in top half of the league.

Are you capable of saying anything positive about WVU? For fvck's sake.

Yeah, what's been positive tonight? We were up 23-10.......that part was great.

Tex A&M has all sorts of shooters, they are huge, and unfazed by our press. Carter needs help out there.

 

[wvpaper]

those first 4 minutes were pretty darn good

 

[MountaineerWV]

Tex A&M has all sorts of shooters, they are huge, and unfazed by our press. Carter needs help out there.

But it's our defense that is killing us.......if we have to rely on Harler, Bender, and Bolden on the court at the same time......we will be hurt defensively.

Our shooting is problematic

 

[wvpaper]

Not a good day

Our shooting is problematic

Defense is the problem. Couple guys actually don’t seem to know how to play defense

 

[HugoStiglitz]

Getting waxed

 

[MountaineerWV]

Why is Bender playing this much? Konate already in the doghouse? Absolutely no offense, and no defense.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Amazing to think we had it down to 8 points........now we have people that look like they are quitting out there.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Hope it isn't a repeat of the 2012-13 season.

No doubt, but offensively we’re missing and not getting rebounds. Both ends of the court are the problem.

 

[wvpaper]

Bender has some wicked bad feet. Allen can’t move too well. Harler can’t run too well.

I expect we won’t be pressing too much longer this year.

Still, will be much better by January

 

[MountaineerWV]

Miss Tarik Philip BAD on this team......he has proven to be THE leader of this team.

 

[JGogo]

Will we fall out of the top 25 after suffering another blowout loss on National TV. We just can’t shoot. I feel bad for Carter. This team is just too slow. Oh well, thank God Basketball is not like football or we be done after one embarrassing loss.

 

[wvpaper]

Got to like Wes energy and effort. Will be a good one.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Best part of tonight is.........coming home and starting over. Huggs has his work cut out for him.......team has a lot more deficiencies than I was hoping. Too many "no shows" tonight from guys that have to show up.

Getting waxed

Wax on, wax off.

Long season.

We have no business being in the top 25

 

[MountaineerWV]

Think we may be a 17-21 win team.......

What teams won't be?

 

[wvpaper]

What teams won't be?

WVU is more of a sum of the parts kinda team.

Sounds like they knew what they were talking about.

 

[xWVU2010x]

It’s night 1, regroup and figure out wtf we’re doing against upcoming tomato cans.
