Game Thread: 1/15/2019 - West Virginia Mountaineers at TCU Horned Frogs - 7pm ET, ESPNU

[Kace-1]

West Virginia enters Ft. Worth not in the best of moods. Non-Conference they've been fine at 8-4, but in the Big 12 they're 0-4, giving them an 8-8 record overall and struggling for an NIT bid in March if they're lucky. The Mountaineers want to get the season turnaround started tonight.

TCU is 12-3, but only 1-2 in Big 12 play so they might not be in the best of moods themselves. The Horned Frogs want to have enough of a decent footprint come Selection Sunday if they're unable to win the Big 12 Championship.

WVU is on a 4 game losing streak, all to Big 12 schools. Their last win was in December at home against Lehigh. They've yet to win a true road game, going 0-2 so far and again both were to conference foes.

TCU is on a 2 game losing streak since beating Baylor to open up Big 12 play. They beat the Bears at home and the losses since were both road games. Tonight, they're at home. Prior to the 2 losses, the Frogs had themselves a 9 game win streak going.

Coverage on ESPNU is scheduled to start at 7pm ET, 6 local.

 

[Kace-1]

About 5 minutes in and not much offense early on.

 

[Kace-1]

Since TCU got their offense going, this has been one-sided. 13 point lead for the H-Frogs.

 

[Kace-1]

Halftime and the Texas Christian Horned Frogs are marching onward with a 20 point lead.

 

[Kace-1]

Update: This game is not competitive and West Virginia is not that good.

 

[Kace-1]

98-67 is your final score as TCU gets the win and improves to 13-3. West Virginia drops to 8-9 and is still looking for their first conference win.

Seriously what's up with them this season? Did recruiting take a nosedive or something?

Huggs lost his locker room to Sags for a bit (what I'm getting, anyway). This is a throw away year now that he's gone for the season, and we're letting Trey Doomes(day) and a lot of true freshman get time. With Oscar coming next year, and Culver getting better... we'll be back next year.
Huggs did own it tho... gotta love the guy!

 

[CouchOnFire]

Yikes! So I go to his presser and he says:

"I don't know what to do."

Ouch.


Said he will fix it next year and he has guys that don't like to work.

 

[GoldRusher]

Poor coaching imo.

Don't get me wrong, this team aint very good and is going to lose games but it shouldn't be getting embarrassed like that. Huggs and co. wont/cant even put a grouping together that resembles a basketball team right now. We need to just go ahead n play the young guys and get ready for 2020 season.

They look like a bunch of 11 year old kids playing in the driveway with no position or game plan to speak of.

We need much better guard play. I’m sorry but Boulden is garbage. I’m not sold on Harris and Hailey is new. It wasn’t hard to see this coming last year. Carter was literally our whole offense. Take him out and Sags not playing we are left with what we got now. I thought Esa would be the star of this team 3 years ago. Man I was dead wrong. Huggs needs to get some quality guards in here.
