Topic: WV late season collapse

[herdorbust]

WV lost 9 out of the last 18 games after winning there first 15 out of 16. But no matter how many times they lost they stayed in the top 25. Playing .500 ball the second half of the year (18 games) was not impressive. I know they played in a tough conference, but losing half of your last 18 games isn't like a team that is dominate. If we can get by Wichita St we have a shot at a sweet 16 birth. Very tough, but not impossible.

I don't know that they'll get by Murray.

Their physicality, size and constant defensive pressure, i.e., press, are the main factors that we would have to cope with.  If we can get our O flowing in a rhythm, then I think we have a good chance.  Let's beat the Shockers first!!

I have enjoyed not caring anything about WVU athletics for a long time. No time to break my streak now, even if we could play them with a win. Carry on...

I don’t root for them and I do believe they are getting a lot of respect but to be honest the 18 games were conference in what is at least by the RPI standard the toughest in the country. I personally think they should have been a 7 or 8 seed, WVU fans I’ve talked to are pissed they aren’t a 4. Who knows

Except for 1 shooter they struggle with half court offense.....which is likely why the NCAA want them vs Wichita in rd 2 as Shockers don't have great guards and WVU can probably press them into TO's.

I know only one name in the entire wvu basketball family. Bob Huggins. The last second of wvu basketball I watched was the last time we played them in Charleston. Pretty much the same with football. Holgerson is the only name I know.
