Hilton magic is dead

Agree...but part of the reason we owned WV was their lack of scoring ability, and terrible outside shooting. Huggy has fixed both of those. They are a very good team,and well balanced. We also miss having Niang/Royce type player. (duh).
Her's what I'm wondering with Naz. When he's over in the Sukup complex firing three's is he fading back into the bench every time he fires one up or is he standing there waiting for the machine to feed him another ball? Maybe it seems like it's to simple of a fix but maybe he needs to try following through with his shot instead of the whole fade back routine.
I went back and looked at some video of Naz from his sophomore year. It seems that on all of his outside shots back then, he was either stepping into the shot or going straight up. I don't know if the fade away now is because of the surgery or if he just does not realize he is doing it. You would think someone on the coaching staff would notice, but maybe they don't pay that much attention to it..........who knows.
I really want to believe that they've pointed it out to him but once he's on the big stage the showmanship comes back out? I don't know but it definitely effects his shot.
I think Pollard was hoping that basketball demand would keep growing so that he can do a re-seating of Hilton that will allow him to bring in even more money. From what I hear, there are lots of legacy season ticket holders in the lower level who don't actually bring in much revenue for the program. As the program grows in popularity with new, big donors, I would expect them to demand decent seats that won't be available without a re-seating.
I understand disagreeing with this post but who's the douche that 'disliked' it?

I've been stuck in the 12th row balcony since 2005. Trust me you ain't going anywhere.
For the most part even a 6-8 point lead with just a few minutes left puts this group away. No one as a 'go-to' and nothing schematically to fall back on.
The defense has done pretty well but is out-manned most of the time...especially when someone like Holden is benched for not screwing up, which I thought was his role.
I'm hypocritical for ragging on Prohm the last couple of days but these last two games have solidified my doubts. Taking time to get things/players acclimated is one thing, and some times that takes through the conference season, but right now it's clear that he's not going to cater to what works best for this particular group and it's kind of astonishing in a way.
The wands didn't cost JP a dime. The batons were a promotional purchase by Greater Iowa Credit Union. JP won't spend any more money on the teams this year because he has everyone's money. He has already set the hype machine on overdrive for next year.

bump.
Are we still pouring one out for Hilton Magic?

To be fair it hadn't been very good this year. Last night was by far the best environment this year.
I'm just shocked that BDK would be wrong about something. His track record speaks for itself.
I wanted to post that one scene from Don't Be A Menace... where Ashtray was pouring one out all over his dead homies, but unfortunately I couldn't find it on YouTube.

fair or not, being hyperbolic enough to declare it dead always needs to be called out as ridiculous and silly.
Of course this gets bumped. Last 2 games have been great but most of the year has been mediocre tbh
