the refs for the most part didn’t take the game over. Let the teams play. It seems we have a PG that can create a mismatch and will allow Beetle to play the 2. If Konate could possibly come back effectively (having Culver get majority minutes till he is ready) we should be good at the 5. Need McCabe to spell Haley and Harler to steal minutes for Beetle. Wish Matthews could get in some at 3 but not sure he is ready. Lotta athleticism, maybe concentrate on rebounds and defense for now. They have a chance to salvage the season however.

Amazing that our good teams blew 10 point leads to Kansas. But this young team finds a way to beat them.

Also, it helps to have. 6'7" guard attacking the rim at the end of the game instead of a 6'0" guard driving into the trees.

One small step for WVU basketball overall, one GIANT step for THIS team.

Best eyeball test of the season.
Best penetration on offense. Worked harder to get ball inside. With Culver in there, the odds are better for my alma mater.
Giant step forward, no doubt. With three more top 25 teams coming up I sure hope the players keep the momentum going. Going 4-0 against this gauntlet would be awesome, particularly the way this season has gone before the Kansas game.

Culver has solidified the 5 with a talented player that can score the ball. We are playing 5on 5 with our offense again. He has been the difference maker.

Haley seems to have awakened from his slumber and realized he can play with the guys in the league. I saw the old axiom for guards pop into his head yesterday, "If you can't shoot from outside, take it to the hole and try to draw the foul."
