Metrics are gonna go down if we don't win this by 20

Even more so if they don't pull their heads out of their asses and actually lose.

 

[Althetuna]

Whelp. Looks like we're in for a dog fight.

Hopefully this isn’t the annual late February slide under Otz.

Last year it was pretty much all of February.

1st year was lose 4/win 4 before dropping the two March conference games.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Half court offense guys, we just don't do it well.

There tends to be some hero ball tendency. I don't think I've noticed it as much until today, and against BYU

 

[Walden4Prez]

Team came into this thinking they could show up and win. Crowd is dead and I don’t blame them.

 

[ZRF]

It's been strange. We are forcing a lot of turnovers per usual, but if we aren't turning them over, they're hitting shots

In the 2nd half they've mostly been open. Our screen anticipation and hedging has been atrocious. Lots of open shots and fouls as a result.

WVU is Quad 3, right?

 

[SoleCyclone]

Teams are going to go zone against us the rest of the year. Obviously we can't handle it

 

[fsanford]

Hopefully this isn’t the annual late February slide under Otz.

More about beating WV always struggle...

 

[Marcelason78]

Notice the difference. I don't constantly ***** about his takes even if I don't agree with them. He starts whining and I simply state "put me on ignore". See the difference.

I thought you simply stated he was an idiot. Seems like you should follow your own advice rather than resort to name calling. But maybe you are different.

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

Predictively this is a hangover from the Houston game. Team got up in a way they haven’t all year and threw all their cards at Houston. They are not meeting the same intensity this game for a lesser opponent. Get out with a win, gather yourselves and step it up for Oklahoma..

 

[madguy30]

It was but we are playing brutal basketball.

WVU had shown absolutely no reason to suggest they would be competitive against a good team in a tough environment.

They are playing tough. Hats off to them, but this is more on us. We are out of control and playing poor basketball.

Once again, sports is not linear so what happened prior to any game does't matter and WV has been a wirey capable team all season that has something to prove.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

WVU is Quad 3, right?

Not sure. The have a few Q1 wins so they may be Q2

 

[CYedUp]

Not good on keshon 4th

 

[CydeofFries]

I don't get how that's a foul on Gilbert and not WVU.

 

[cyfanbr]

Do we have enough offense without KG to close this game out? Need more from MM and Tamin.

 

[jctisu]

Gilbert playing defense like he thinks he is playing a scrub team and being careless. Now four fouls.

 

[cyputz]

I like the announcer’s statement “keep your arms up - but guard that three point shooter”. Spot on!

 

[Thomasrickj]

It gets more painful to watch each possession

 

[ZRF]

Thats not Milans game.

Should have been travel.

Moving screen. Something that hasnt been called nearly enough in league play.
