Which D1 Team in West Virginia

Bleeds we are 2-3 on the road in conference with one of those wins at ODU. We aren't great on the road, but our road record in the OOC was going to be much better than the 2-5 mark we put up with the road schedule we played. We hold serve at home and win 4 road games and we end up 13-5 in conference, which would be better than the preseason expectations. We have played the 3rd toughest schedule in the conference so far with our schedule ranked #92 at this point and have the 3rd best Strength of Record rating in the conference so we are that bad. This season could take a very positive turn if Elmore and Burks start playing like they did last year for the rest of the season. Both of them have struggled this year and it has lead to a few losses that would likely have been wins.


You're basing hope on a player who was torched on here for winking during a 50 pt beatdown?
 
Speaking of the former did anyone else see Bob Huggins get tossed last night. It was vintage Huggs as he made a complete ass of himself.
His team was merely going thru the motions all night and when his shooter didn’t get a call on a three ball he lost his ish.
Personally I like BH, in social settings he is a really nice guy. But last night was an embarrassment, he is to old and just plain to fat to be wrestling with his ass’t coaches who were trying to keep him from doing something REALLY stupid.

Damn Duke...please learn the proper usage of TO & TOO.
You are an embarrassment to Coach K......you said...."he (Huggie bear) is to old" (too)....."he is to fat (Too)."

It pains me to say it.....BUT....they would beat us by 50 plus on a neutral court, 60-70 at Morgantown & at least by 30 at The Cam!!! We have no rebounding (offensive or defensive), can't stop the WVU big or bigger men & we would be terrible at turning the ball over. Their fans are even stronger than our fans. Again, it pains me to say it....BUT you asked and they are the better team and they play in a much, much better conference....end of story!

Yes, we all saw how wvu destroyed WKU! Just murdered them. Opps, WKU the team we beat at home and narrowly lost to in Bowling Green beat the often feared mounties.

Yeah because we all know that that is how the game works. If that’s the case then I’m pretty sure we could make a case for us being national champs EVERY YEAR!!! Please stop embarrassing yourself with this.
 
Leave it to bb to start a thread like this. No word from him, when the team started conference play on their winning streak.

You know they have a board for Mountaineer fans. For somebody who is a “Marshall” fan you sure know a lot about WVU. Herdmeister laid out why he thinks that Marshall could hang with WVU this year . You chose to ignore what he says.

For the record Marshall has never lost to WVU in Huntington

So how bad is bad? VA TECH 47. NC STATE 24. No, that's not a halftime score. That's a final. At least we scored 51.
 
I don’t know how this season will end up. I will say that everything is still there to take. Win the conference tournament and you are in. The problem has been believing this wagon load of horseshit from CUSA about a second bid for the conference. Most of the schools in CUSA put little to nothing $$$$ in their basketball programs. Don’t believe it....look up their budgets. As a matter of fact look up our budget....it’s not much. It brings everything into focus. You can play POD games from here to the end of time. It’s not bringing the second bid. Win the conference you have the conciliation prize of a NIT bid ....if you don’t win the tournament. PLAY BALL. Go Herd!

You’re too old and too fat, is that better.


That's BETTER...Old & fat
...yes...But I am still making America GREAT again....

HerdZilla22 in Charlotte...BTW I wore a Duke hat yesterday while playing golf...add another TEAM in my collection....Zion is 'da Man!
 
As is often said....."for the life of me".....I do not understand how many of our college educated fans "cannot stay on the subject". The question originally asked was: "Which D1 Team in West Virginia is the worst" (bbneutralfan).
 
I am black Irish. They still won't listen to me.


Darn, herdman..you ARE my BROTHER
along with Dabo Swinney (Clemson)...PROUD TO BE BLACK IRISH...the builders of America's buildings, bridges, tunnels, etc.... and our country's FIRST SLAVES....Our ancestors enter Ellis Island as McSwinney....the Mc was dropped and some took names ending as Swinney [Dabo]...my Family used SWEENEY.

...when something positive happens.

In basketball, what "positive" thing has happened with this team since March 18, 2018?

So far this year, this team has lost 13 games, five of them humiliating assreaming beatdowns, including an all time 50 point take down by the mighty 14-9 (lost to North Florida, D II William Carry College, and 9-14 Rice) USM. It has beaten two OVC teams, both with losing records; a very bad NEC team; a bad MEAC team, the MEAC and the NEC having no business in Div I; a losing CAA team; and is one for three versus the lowly MAC, beating 13-8 Akron, but losing to 18-4 Toledo and 11-10 Ohio U, in a league neither will win (Buffalo). In conference it has won games by three, one, one, twelve, eight, and five points, or, put better is a five points from being 7-14 and tied with UNCC (which it beat by one point) for dead last in this really bad conference.

Oh, sorry, we did beat a 19-4 Hofstra from the not awful CAA. I, for one, was not positive enough about our titanic win over the Pride, who drew about 1200 per game to their GYM. Yeah. Sorry. I will be more positive about our next accomplishment. Whenever that might be.

As to the OP's question, while WVU is having a bad year, the idea that they would not name the score, and Thugins being an a**hole, he would run it up as much as possible, is laughable.

Bleeds, you’re super wrong like 99% of the time. I was so happy when you stopped posting for a while. It was easy, mostly intelligent reading.


I didn't say we were a bad team. I said the effort wasn't there at USM. Go back and read my post again.

It's pretty established that we have a good/talented team.

That is what has some of us frustrated. We're underachieving. A lot of our fans, my self included, thought this could be a year so good that we could grab an at-large bid if we didn't win the conference again. Even after our OoC results this year I thought we'd have almost no issue winning the regular season title and at worst be a #2 seed in the conference tournament.

You must ask "many" on this site to forgive you.....it appears to me they don't want to see things objectively. The Herd IS DEFINITELY my favorite college team (basketball & football)...but we cannot erase facts. We are not very good this season....UNLESS everyone else is MUCH better.

Everybody thinks those of us who understand basketball, and understand that drawing an inside straight ONCE is not a substitute for proper poker strategy, WANT US to lose. It is like thinking that someone on the Titanic who tells the staff to watch out for ice burgs is somehow happy to see the ship sink.

Not at all. I want Marshall to win, you want Marshall to win. Everybody who belongs on this site (and those who do not know who they are and how sad their little lives are) wants Marshall to win. In every sport, every time. To improve academics. To help West Virginia in new ways. To change lives. To be great in every thing it touches. It is just the, sad to say, WVU fan like delusion that black is white and up is down because people want it to be, that needs to go.

This is not a good basketball team. It MIGHT improve in the next six weeks, and it MIGHT just draw an inside straight again, but right now it is not good.

I agree with you....we can't overlook facts REGARDLESS of how much we enjoy our Herd sports.
