Welcome to Morgantown my fellow Cyclones of the Big 12 . You just ran into a buzz saw by a WV club coming off of a tough road loss at Kansas. Tonight, these Mountaineers came out firing, came out focused, and came out with a purpose. They achieved their goal convincingly by scoring 102 points in what was the most dominating performance in Big 12 this year . Anytime you dismantle the 11 ranked club in the country, you have to start feeling good about where the program is headed. I actually got a call today from ex-Mountaineer player and he said that if Holton would have become eligible, he would have led this team in rebounding and averaged 15 per game. So my fellow fans, you better get ready for some exciting things coming from this club in the next year. If this group continues to improve and I believe they will, there is a good chance they could make the NCAA’s this year although there is still some tough work ahead.
Key Stats: WV had some really balanced scoring in this game placing 4 players in double figures and getting 26 points off the bench. Dibo led the squad tonight with 20 points on 7-10 shooting and 4-8 behind the arc, clearly his best performance as a Mountaineer. Staten followed with 19, Harris and Henderson score 16 a piece. WV makes 19-21 FT’s tonight and had a season high 18 assists (Staten 9). WV loses the battle of the glass by a margin of 44-35. WV shoots 53% from the field and nails 13 3 pointers.
Diehard’s Did You Know Segment: always my favorite part of the blog….Do you know when the last time a WV team scored over 100 points? Try 2006 against Marquette. Can you remember who was on that team and how many 3’s were made that day? I seem to remember a guy named Gansey…….and about 19 3’s made on that day. BB ---you correct me if I am wrong.
In conclusion, man I hate losing so I know I will sleep like a baby tonight and snore with a smile. One hell of a performance tonight fans and certainly reason to be upbeat about the state of the program. This was by far the best performance this team has had this year but I knew they had it in them. This should shoot the confidence level sky high and make them give this level of effort every night....or at least let’s hope. Have a great day Mountaineer fans wherever your country road has taken you in this great nation!
