It sounds like WVU has gone from mugging teams all the way down the court to just mugging them in the half court. Hope the Clones can get a few transition baskets so the game will not be a grinding mess. ISU has gotten a little better in the half court, but it is still not the kind of game they are good at.

All in all, we took care of business through that mess. Not razor sharp at either end, though our transition game was elite. I think our defense gambled more than we have in quite some time, so that part must be based on a risk/reward assessment by Coach Prohm.

Loved seeing a lot of guys get minutes!

Not really. WVU took a lot of chances and the Clones were good enough to make them pay. For some reason they were especially bad at covering the baseline tonight. Just because ISU was able to break down WVU does not make them instantly a good half court offense. Again, they have show a lot of improvement, but the game on Saturday will be more of a test defensively for the Clones. Would love them to tear up the BU zone.

About as complete of a game as we could have hoped for. The way they are attacking zone defenses right now is incredible/elite and good luck playing man against any line up that has a combination of $hayok, NWB, Wigginton, Haliburton or THT in it. February should be fun.

Fun night in Hilton.

1. The cold. We got there 30 minutes before the game. Parked in C4. The walk was fine. I've walked in worse, but I didn't realize how much closer C4 is than C6 either ;) Honestly, I thought the concourse of Hilton was colder than it was out side. Either way, I'm glad I didn't wimp out and not go.

2. What I loved about the game is that every time West Virginia went on a run, we answered. We didn't let them cut it to 8 or 6.

3. Nick Weiler-Babb. He's always been very good, but in the last month he's just really become an amazing leader with his actions. He's out there hustling a ton and playing really hard. He's always been important, but there's something different lately.

4. You knew that Cam was going to get in foul trouble against that team, but he was great when he was in.

5. You could tell at times that the calls and West Virginia were frustrating our players. Once they started laughing about it, they could play through it.

6. Lindell was really good obviously. He's figuring things out. I was hard on him or more I was hard on the people that though he should be starting, but he's had 2 really good games in a row. Great to see.

7. It's been a while since I've seen a coach get thrown out of the game at Hilton. The fact that it was Hugs made it all the better.

Yea, I think it’s possible. Haven’t looked at their recruiting. Do they have much for next year?

I was curious so I looked it up. They have two guys signed with one being their highest rated recruit ever. A 6’9” five star and another 3 star.

Per the article on CyFan, what's the 'motorcycle' thing that Halli does before the games?

I didn't get much sleep last night so I watched the game while going in and out of consciousness. Have to catch a replay as I was out when Huggy got tossed.
