The Herd is now 3-0 in conference. I think the game changed when Elmore slowed his perimeter attempts and started going to the basket later in the 1st half. He was either gone to score, get fouled, or find somebody open outside. Yea, but.....Where are all the naysayers now?Not a creature was stirring....
Great win!!! Kinsey is a beast
Not many post on this board about basketball after wins. It’s really sad. If you want discussion here, you’ll have to wait until we lose.The Herd is now 3-0 in conference.

SH does make a valid counterpoint to your “live by the 3, die by the 3”, does he not, Sam?7/26 (26.9%)—21 of our 70 points
yep, we lived by the three last night hahaha
some nice young players on this teamGreat atmosphere, great ending to the game tonight!
I knew one of the naysayers would show up.Again, what do you want? A nice win over the team we were paired with, before the disastrous non-conference period, as 1 & 2 by most predictors. At home. Will probably have to play them four times. Good crowd, especially with NFL Bandwagon Team #2 on TV (BWT #1 missed the playoffs, screw you WOWK, buy a map) . WKU has been up and down.
Now, AGAIN, was this this crew finally getting over its failure non-conference? Or was this an up for an up and down team that lives and dies by the 3. TIME WILL TELL.

.......and ONLY because I called him out!!! We have too many what I call “Goldilocks” fans. IF we win AND play at a high level, they are “OK” with the Herd. But lose one, two, (OMG) three in a row??I knew one of the naysayers would show up.

Every team lives & dies by something. wvu isn't creating 30 turnovers/game this year and look at them. Do they live & die by the turnover? I guess so.I know its wrong to nitpick semantics but damnit I can't help myself - his point was actually correct. The three made up a small percentage of points (30%) because we shot terribly. In terms of the volume of attempts, the three made up 45.6% of shots, compared to WKU, whose 16 attempts from three made up only 28.6% of their shots.
We do live and die by the three - sometimes we're hot and its why we win, sometimes we're cold and its why we lose, and sometimes we build a two-story ranch home out of bricks and somehow manage to live comfortably within it, which is what happened Saturday.
No, they didn't. It was reported a couple months ago that they would.@Herdmeister Did they show the drawing of the baseball stadium last night? I know you had mentioned earlier they were.

It’s the end times.......
Thanks for the Monday laugh, man.Anhedonia is the inability to enjoy good things. Losing to teams like Duquesene, Toledo, or Ohio, and losing by non-competitive margins to our step-up teams, are not good things.
WHEN this team accomplishes good things, I will be right there. Lets both hope that happens. It hasn't yet. TIME WILL TELL.
Sadly for those with football anhedonia, despite another great season, they cannot enjoy the tremedous accomplishments of our great program.

Conference USA is far better in basketball than they are in football.
Marshall football has far more advantages to winning in football than Marshall basketball has to winning in basketball.
How is it so difficult for you to see that Marshall football has higher expectations from fans due to them having more and better advantages to winning in the conference than Marshall does in basketball?
If Marshall baseball, under the current situation, finished in the middle of the conference each year for the last decade, that head coach should be given a lifetime contract. On the other hand, if the Marshall football finished in the middle of the conference each year for the last decade, that coach should be shown the door. Why the disparity in expectations? One of those sports is severely disadvantaged in opportunities to win compared to peer schools. One of those sports has significant advantages to win compared to peer schools.
Basketball does not have the same advantages and opportunity to win at as high of a rate as football does in the current situation. Thus, football has higher expectations.
Somebody should repost this so Samantha can read it since he has me blocked. Hopefully, it will shut up his horrendous argument on this that he mentions every week.

Your are absolutely correct. We won A basketball game.
I still cannot understand how our basketball and football fans are the same people.
Football works like this:
(MU loses) Fire Doc. Fire Mike. Blow it up. We are terrible. We are supposed to win every game. CUSA sucks. Whoever beat us sucks.
(MU wins) Nothing to see here, move along. Beating whoever is no accomplishment, they suck. CUSA sucks. We suck. We should expect to win every game and that is really nothing anyway. Fire Doc. Fire Mike. Blow it up.
Basketball works like this:
(MU wins) AWSOME!!!!!! We, yes little ole us, actually WON a basketball game!!!!!!!!!! Wow. These boys are really starting to gel now. I hope the NCAA sends us to Louisville or Columbus for the first rounds.
(MU loses) Well, now don't you be a naysayer. We are great. You cannot win all the game in the MIGHTY CUSA, with such basketball mega teams. These boys still have a lot of work to do, but the ingenious system will have them gelled by tournament time. I hope the NCAA sends us to Louisville or Columbus for the first rounds.
The same people?
All those of us who are called "naysayers" ask is to be better than that. The first step to improvement is understanding exactly where you are today. The basketball team has a total failure non-conference season and TIME WILL TELL, if it can overcome that or not.
But you aren't, and you don't, when we come up with a great win!!
Again, what do you want? This team is what it is. There is not a lot to get excited about, despite over the top pre-season hype. WE ARE...... mediocre.
The last "great win" this team had was in San Diego, California, on March 16th of last year, the last day of a very special four game, eight day run. Since then we have beaten seven teams from one-bid leagues, of which exactly one has a winning record; been embarrassed in not only all 3 of our step up games, but by a very ordinary 9-6 Ohio U.; and lost to A-10 mid-packer Duquesene and currently middle of the road MACer Toledo, at home. And won three conference games, 12-5 ODU by 3, 4-11 UNCC by 1, and 8-8 WKU by 1.

Maybe, with the way WVU is playing, we can get them in the CBI or CIT.
