Paige two early fouls. Hate that. He's by far our best off the bench and probably should start.

 

[HurdyGurdyEer]

Throw him out. That's nonsense.

 

[JCT1]

Way too many fouls and WTF is Watkins doing?

 

[MountaineerWV]

Embarrassing right now.....

 

[tigeer]

I have no use for that. Embarrassing. Playing a little thuggish tonight. I don't mind aggressive defense but fouling just to foul is something else.

Way too many fouls and WTF is Watkins doing?

 

[MountaineerWV]

TCU is a bad, bad team. The way we are playing now, is like losing 5 games in a row.

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

This is the dumbest basketball team in America. It's as if Huggs has no control over these guys. Dumb play after dumb play.

Dumb? No, not dumb. And trust me, I'm sure Huggs has complete control of this team. We are just playing too loose right now. A couple of players aren't playing smart.....but I wouldn't call it "dumb".

 

[locustwv]

Watkins needed ejected. Hate crap like that. There is a difference between playing hard and playing stupid

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

Sucker punching the opponent in the gut is dumb. Fouling 3-pt shooters and guys 70 feet from the basket is dumb.

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

Hard to believe there are 3 teams in the NCAA that average more fouls per game than we do. Already at 15 tonight. That's 1 more than Iowa State averages per game.

 

[MountaineerWV]

We have no answer for their little #1.....

 

[MountaineerWV]

Hard to believe there are 3 teams in the NCAA that average more fouls per game than we do. Already at 15 tonight. That's 1 more than Iowa State averages per game.

But that's our style. When you play 94 feet of defense, you are going to foul more. That's just a fact. I'm OK with the fouls because we play 10-11 people regularly.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Go from chance to tie with a FT to down five quickly....

 

[jlaudiomaster]

No excuse for Watkins. You want to root for him being a WVU legacy nephew but honestly, he's almost produced more infamous performances than positive ones.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Williams just plain stupid there. He's smarter than that. He knew that was coming.

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

Stop fouling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's 20 fouls in a half.

And 22 made free throws for TCU.

Pathetic.

 

[MountaineerWV]

ANOTHER ONE! Good lord guys. Do we not understand they are going to FLOP AROUND LIKE FISH OUT THERE????

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

Make that 21 fouls.

Pathetic to the second degree.

 

[skygusty_rivals]

That was ugly. Paige, Macon, Williams and Holton with 3 fouls in the first half. Jaysus

 

[MountaineerWV]

Make that 21 fouls.

Well, the stupid part is not understanding that in the post they are going to flop with contact. And they are getting the calls.

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

Wish I was a fly on the wall in the locker room just to hear what Huggs says at halftime.

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

That was ugly. Paige, Macon, Williams and Holton with 3 fouls in the first half. Jaysus

Paige plays a great game Saturday, then goes out tonight and commits 3 fouls in one minute of playing time.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Chalk this game up to just sloppy, no desire playing. We aren't winning this one......hope I'm wrong.

 

[skygusty_rivals]

Guards are going to have to deliver tonight.

 

[MountaineerWV]

So, hanging on the rim (like Miles) is a Technical, but slapping the backboard after a dunk with both hands is not?

 

[MountaineerWV]

Not happening tonight....

 

[MountaineerWV]

Unreal. TCU will not win 5 league games this year. And one of them will be against us. Ugly.......

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

Foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul.

Yes, we have 23 fouls tonight.

Play some defense before it's too late.

 

[wvpaper]

even the golden state warriors play poorly at the end of west coast road trip. bob had to see this coming and i'm sure he's ok (not happy) with 2 out of 3. no big deal.

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

Just stop fouling. TCU stinks. Free throws the only thing that get the Toads a win.

This is so bad it's comical.

 

[wvpaper]

keep it close. if we have a big left and are within 3 in the final minute... we win

 

[Mntneer]

Unfortunately some of the calls are so weak that it's impossible not to foul.

Going to be a long season with officiating crews.

 

[wvpaper]

they do flop well

 

[MountaineerWV]

How many FLOPS are they getting away with????

 

[skygusty_rivals]

TCU offensive possession without a foul called!!!

 

[dolemitebmf]

Is this the same crew from the Cactus Bowl?

 

[skygusty_rivals]

Is this the same crew from the Cactus Bowl?

Must be - they STILL haven't called pass interference.

Hahaha!
