This game was played as expected. WV would come in and make a threat but fade with the young players in the 2nd half—and that was exactly the scenario. WV played a pretty good game offensively but again it was the defense that killed us today. People turning to the basket and not boxing out, no switching , players lost in a 1-3-1 and in man-to-man. After the next 9 games, this club will be schooled because the teams they play will bring all they can handle. But you know what, it is gonna make them better in the long run and certainly hungry next year.
After watching Marcus Smart today, I am convinced he is not the best player in America but the dirtiest one. I saw a thug attitude today while throwing shoulders, elbows and face rakes on shots. No question, the dirtiest player I have seen in quite some time. Never would I give the player of the year in college basketball to a PUNK like that. I have played against his kind before and the solution is to attack him early and often.
Key Stats: How bout 15 WV turnovers or 21-57 from the field. WV did win the battle of the glass 41-36. Harris scores 21 and Staten 19 to lead the way for WV.
In today’s Diehard did you know segment: Did you know the zebras called 56 personal fouls in this game, 32 against WV? 66 FT were attempted in this game. That was a very poor job officiating as the ticky tack shit hurt WV.
In conclusion, we keep watching and looking for improvement especially on defense. Have a great day Mountaineer fans wherever your country road has taken you.
