We'll know in the first five minutes if our shots from three are going to fall. If not, we'll then find out how tough we are.

We’ve done a good job in general on the road, except for the previous game. Hopefully that’s an ugly outlier and we play well tonight.

WVU has played poorly, but they’ve also hung with good teams, even beating KU.

They're definitely not a pushover at home, beating KU there and taking Texas Tech to the wire. Hopefully given that we should be focused and not taking anything for granted, we will have an edge that those teams didn't have.

I do want to see ISU win out, but this bracket (and he's hardly ever accurate) wouldn't be a bad draw...

Palm is one of the few that has us as a 7

Not at all confident about this game.

I think ISU wins this pretty comfortably.

Thinking West Virginia reminds me how much this team needs a Dustin Hogue (or Melvin Ejim) type player. We are playing 4 out which I like, but need one of those four to be a stronger type like Hogue or Ejim. We get good rebounding from Shayock, but not consistently at their level.While the dribble penetration we give up with our athletes is troublesome, so is the offensive rebounding. This is a place we need the street brawler.

Shayok out tonight, damn

This is a problem. They really do just have 4 guards out there. Ejim and Hogue were 3/4 kind a guys.

[Thomasrickj]

Yep, no Shayok.

 

[Halincandenza]

So ISU is looking down the barrel now of three straight losses to end the season? No Shayok, no Babb tonight and maybe not for Tech.

"We're playing so badly right now. How could it get any worse?"

*Everyone gets injured*

"Oh, that's how"

 

[Sigmapolis]

I'm out for tonight, too. Big client meeting at 2:30 through 5:00.

No way I could make it to Morgantown.



Cheer loud for me, @cyrocksmypants.

 

[Halincandenza]

They are going to need Wigginton and THT to go off these next two games. I still think they can win tonight but they are going to have to come ready to compete.

Before its all said and done this could end up being WVU’s bench vs our bench.
