Enjoy your ELITE programs CERTAIN run to the national championship, certain in the knowledge that all UK and KU, et al, envy you so much. It must be great to have 1000s of players lined up, and be able to turn down so many, making the settle for UNC or Duke.
I don't like wvu, but they are one of the better teams I have seen in the tournament. When they play well, they can beat anybody in the country.
I don't think the full-court press the all-game-long works against all teams. Marshall was just unprepared for that kind of defense and is new to being in the NCAA tourney. Other teams can easily find ways to beat the press that Marshall couldn't overcome. Actually Marshall could overcome the press, but they missed too many wide open shots.
If WV shoots the ball (esp Carter!) the way they did Sunday, WVU is in the regional final.
I watched nova toy with Radford. Radford was no slouch this year, and it didn't matter if they played good defense, Nova was sinking everything they threw up. WVU has the defense to compete with them, I think it will be a good game.
It's more of our offense than the press. We just happened to have a game against you guys where we shot consistent. We blew many games this year where we had double digit leads. Doesn't matter who you are or who you are playing, long scoring droughts are killers and we have had plenty of them. A lot of times we either take the foot off the gas or panic and you have 4 guys standing around waiting for Carter to do something.
I'm thinking that if WVU HAS one more game in them defensively like Sunday's, they're in the final four, with 45% shooting.
I thought this might happen. WVU forced to fly to Boston early ahead of snowstorm.....today instead of Wednesday.
Bingo!! EERS go down 90-78. Only 7-28 from 3 land. Carter had about half of what he had against the Herd. I think they shot 3s against MU as well as they shot them all year. It's what happens at tourney time. Run into a super hot team and you're out (ask Virginia). Off your game, opponent gets you out of your game and has a good game on offense, and you are gone, like MU.
Good analysis, wins10. Long scoring droughts are NOT just unique to Morgantown. Herd had some key losses, too, where there were long, dry spells on O, like their last one in San Diego.
GREAT POST...and makes a lot of sense! I LOVE Marshall (a graduate BS--Jrn) and I cheer for WVU when The Herd is not involved. I wanted the Mountaineers to advance and bring a National Championship to our great state [West Virginia].
Nothing more...NOTHING LESS!
HerdZilla22 (G Sweeney) in Charlotte.
Nova's Wildcats made 13 threes...and it was apparent...the Mountaineers could not defend their 3-point shooters because of the Wildcats excellent passing ability (3-4 passes before firing in the 3-balls). Jay Wright was very complimentary of Coach Huggins & his squad for being "tough & a hard-nosed team."
Going forward...I conclude college basketball [The HERD & WVU] will be exciting in the Mountain State next season!

of course! they stopped them to the tune of 90 points.
for wvu to make the final four, officials would have to ignore rules of play the entire game...that did not occur. they get away with tons of fouls.....but not enough to get to the final four or elite eight.
and yet every year their season ends like 99% of other D1 teams.....with a big L. I have to admit, the double digit loss to Nova was not as enjoyable as last years loss to Gonzaga when they ran around like clowns and couldn't get off the three on the final possession.
I was still riding that Wichita high and enjoying San Diego....being a realist, I thought an L was likely. That's what you should have thought before the Nova game. But congrats! you beat Marshall and Murray St.
Hey they have zero more national championships than Marshall. We had a hell of season. I enjoyed it.
Marshall got killed and were no match for wv. Not even close. Herd fans talking like the herd advanced and not wv. Huggy could have hung a 100 on the herd easily.
You are so jealous of wv that u say what u wish were true and not what's true. Let me quess, U think the wv and herd game was closer than the score. I was more for Marshall than u I just don't hate wv
I might be mu88 but hating every school other than Marshall is the same thing. Either way its a head problem.u related to Aaron Perkins? He named family members after herd players and included herd football in his wedding vows and has worn green 2054 days in a road. He drinks the kool aid and sees marshall as ESPN sees Alabama. So if your shooting for the herd top super fan just hating everybody else is not enough. AP is the number one fan in huntington by a mile.
you may be the biggest idiot on this board. hate every school other than Marshall? geez, stay away from your wife's paint cans...you are more stupid than normal lately.
Boy You should talk. Sniffing paint? What are you 12. If you have not read how many herd fans only watch Marshall then your not understanding the silly myth that hovers over little Detroit. Pay attention. Listen and keep your mouth shut or I will put knots so high on your head they will have snow on top of them. Lol or I will sic rifle on you
It's all in fun 88.

I didn't go to WVU, Sam, but you are selling them short. They have been to a Final 4 in modern times. They have also won a Peach, Fiesta, Sugar, and Orange bowl with the Orange Bowl win being the most lopsided win in the history of bowl games. They definitely have the potential to go all the way.
They aren't Alabama, you're right there, but they can be contenders in any given year. They have a highly successful athletic program.
Yeah we figured that out. It is not hard. I've lived in this state a long time, and it does not take me 90 seconds of converstation, in person or on line, to distinguish between a WVU alumni sports fan and a WVU Wal-Mart sports fan.
Because the non-alumni are the ones that say, and, more is the pity, ACTUALLY BELIEVE, stupid things like that.
BTW, you do know this thread is about a basketball game played six weeks ago, right?
I would say that's a pretty good prediction. Welcome to the future.
