You know, we are hanging in there.

Cam got the three second late whistle. I don’t think he touched him, but they called it since he missed.

Bolden is the perfect little douche bag to carry the Mountaineer torch going forward.

"What? I can't grab him by the arm to stop him from moving??" - Bolden, probably

 

[CYDJ]

How obvious are Konate's pushoffs? My goodness that is big. And that isn't even a NEW rule. It's been around since I learned to play. They are blatant and OBVIOUS. This "displacement" rule has got to have something in it for that.

I think what bothers me the most right now is that it's not like WVU is really playing well, we are just seriously playing that bad.

Yeah... if we had one or two of the missing pieces we'd be just fine in this game.

Why on earth would you expect this team to to play that well? Down 3 starters. The other 2 starters are freshman. And Lindell has obviously hit a bit of a wall over the last couple of games.

The college season definitely takes a toll on freshmen who play a lot early. It's tough to keep up performance for a whole season. Best-case situation for freshmen is working them in on limited minutes early and them expanding into more later in the season, a la Monte. Otherwise, it seems like most get worn down over time.

Carter is scoring at will

Mr. negative, ISU worst fan is back . Gee, what took you so long/

How is that negative?

 

[Pharmacy99]

How is that negative?

Have you posted anything positive ever?

 

[isuno1fan]

So dumb. He's playing on a team down 3 starters and he's obviously hit a freshman wall. You have no idea if he will or won't be a point guard.

It’s a bad fit for him. He is a combo guard.

 

[CycloneErik]

Well spaced on this possession, but nobody did a single thing to get open or create shots.

 

[isuno1fan]

Again. How is that negative? I compared him to Stinson who was pretty good in case you forgot.

 

[jsb]

I think they are tired.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Just a reminder the ignore function is a nice feature

We'll see. You don't have any idea.

 

[CycloneErik]

I think they are tired.

It's not a late-game thing. It's pretty much a constant.
Today wasn't happening anyway, but our idea of offensive basketball isn't pretty.

 

[jsb]

Like the fight in the guys tonight. Frankly, I thought we might lose by 50.

I would like if the announcer would stop saying short bench and state the facts - ISU is down 3 starters.

No need to bring it up tonight though.
