It is amazing how many times our team comes down the court and leisurely passes the ball around for 20 seconds and then becomes desperate to make a shot in the last 5 or 2 seconds, are forced to make a bad shoot and misses. I bet that we make less than 30% of our shots taken with less than 5 seconds left on the clock. Would be a very interesting statistic to know.

I love Huggins and he gets results, but during his tenure at WVU he has never had an impressive half court offensive scheme. Even with Butler and Kevin Jones it was just a star scorer and hope to offensive rebounds through a lot of motion up top. This team is looking more and more like fool's gold. I say that in you may use it to get one over on some people, but do it enough and eventually you get exposed. Team has and still can deliver great wins, but asking them to string together 3 or more good games in a row seems to be too much. Not to mention doing it on less rest with the tournaments' format.

WVU is a team that no one would want to face in March Madness, but winning 6 in a row to take it all will be the problem because of the Jekyll and Hyde personality of the 10 mad dogs.

Why not try to get the ball to the post? Where is the cutting towards the basket. Just passing around the perimeter gets annoying..

They were lazy and never moved. Like they were stuck in mud. Then they jacked up 3's because nobody would break.

When Dax is too cool to play hard and Esa isn't sure he likes basketball, we are going to lose.

5 times times those 2 mailed it in and we lost all 5

Last year's team was called Jekyll and Hyde, too? I missed that.
Dr. Jekyll should win every game. Mr. Hyde should lose every game. Better hope WVU draws ranked teams every time. It brings out the Jekyll in us.
