GAME THREAD WVU vs Texas

[Vernon]

WVU will visit Texas on Saturday for a Big 12 matchup. We'll have a 3:00 PM ET tipoff and only the Longhorn Network will carry the game.

The team didn't forfeit the rest of the season yet?

Battle appears to have already checked out wearing that March Madness shirt.

 

[locustwv]

It would be nice to sweep Texas!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

Would be nice.

Maybe he's looking to transfer and advertising himself down the stretch?

 

[Vernon]

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

 

[locustwv]

Terrible start. What are they 4-4 from 3?

 

[WVUALLEN]

Women are tied with Baylor 9-9

 

[locustwv]

11-11

 

[locustwv]

Well this game is getting out of hand way to early!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

More painful than watching it.

 

[WVUALLEN]

We are not even in the game. This is a joke.

Disu has 19 points already and 5-5 from 3.

 

[locustwv]

They are in pace for 120 points.

 

[WVUALLEN]

They are in pace for 120 points.

And that's just the 1st half.

 

[spreadoption]

We’re still roadkill.

 

[Vernon]

 

[locustwv]

Well it definitely doesn’t look like we are sweeping Texas!!!

 

[spreadoption]

Our next coach needs to be a guy who is good at cheating because it’s legal now, just look at who’s at the top of this conference, Self and Sampson, two proven cheaters.

Teams like WVU get hammered for cheating. Others don't. Cheating doesn't always equal wins.

Texas is sweeping WVU into the trash can.

I think you mean the stuff that comes out of whatever eats roadkill.

 

[deedoubleyou]

Well, Edwards had a really good game. That's the only bright side I can see in this...

Unable to watch the Men's game. Watch the girls against Baylor. They didn't play well. Hopefully it is a one game hiccup for them.

 

[MountaineerWV]

SO........what did I miss? (Don't get Longhorn Network)

You don't want to know.

They turned Baylor over 19 times, but when you only shoot 32% (and 21% from 3), you aren't going to win. Still, they hung in there. IF they would have shot their normal percentages, they win today.

After all the legal work to make him eligible, this is a fine way to repay us. CRT is probably pissed right now.

 

[locustwv]

Can we use “trust the climb” for basketball too?

If you are talking about the Himalayas, then yes.

Nobody gets hammered for cheating any more. The precedent has been set. In 2019-20, 37 percent of the Division I men’s basketball programs committed violations. How many are ineligible for the NCAA tournament? None, except for Oklahoma State, which was stupid enough to self-impose sanctions. You can get caught in the act and nothing happens. Now all you have to do is get your state’s AG threaten to sue the NCAA and the NCAA folds. The NCAA is so afraid of legal action that it has made this open season for cheating. That’s why guys like Self, Calipari, Sampson, Miller etc are winning big.

LSU's football and men's basketball teams received three years of probation in a ruling from the NCAA. ~ June 22, 2023.

There are many more.

We are not Kansas, UNC, Duke, Kentucky, Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas and every top blue blood program.

Your thought process might be correct but you are wrong that no teams get punished.

 

[WVUBRU]

Any person that WANTS their team to cheat is not correct in any way and is not a fan in my view. Scourge of the earth.

LSU football had to vacate wins. That’s like saying you have to make believe the games you won you actually lost. C’mon that’s not a punishment.
