WVU no good from 3, Jo rebound... Adrian picks up his 3rd on the press

Motley dribbles it up the court semi-out of control and then scores on a nice move near the rim, 36-34

Philip scores again... Jake breaks the over-aggressive D and finds Mot for the jam!

Ish isn't having a memorable Senior night.

The flow on the court is better with Freeman instead of Lindsey as well.

Jo has got to learn not to put to try and dribble down low in traffic

WVU guards and wings hitting some crazy contested shots in the lane so far tonight. Hope that ends.

Acuil shouldn't play another minute. Not his type of game. Playing 4 on 5 vs press

quick foul on WVU. Nuni 3 no good, Ish rebound and he is fouled. #5 on WVU at 15:07

Jake stepped on the line, turnover. my goodness

Carter miss, Al no good, Ish tip off, Omot follow good. 41-38 WVU

great hustle steal by Jake... offensive foul on Freeman (right after he asked for a foul, hmm)

Twice it's been two on 1 with Motley running and we decide to not give him the ball.

Every time I look at the ticker Lindsey has committed another turnover. Do we not have anyone that can bring up the ball????
Hambone

Phillip with another tough shot. now Motley called for an offensive foul. god, his 3rd

Omot fouled, that will be bonus after media @ 11:25. WVU up 45-38

Team isn't good enough to come back this late from a 4 possession lead. Have to go on a run now.

We are on the cusp of getting our ass blown out.

Lack of offensive options

We need a guard who can score.... no Lecomte is killing us.

WVU outscoring us 42-26 since we were up 12-3.
Hambone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Omot hits both. 45-40 WVU

we get a deflection and it goes into the backcourt and WVU is forced to take a half court shot, shot clock v.

holding foul on WVU away from the ball, Al will shoot bonus. 8 on WVU, 4 on BU

Al misses the front end. WOW
Hambone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
great D and then Omot blocks Adrian to force another shot clock violation! more of that please

offensive foul on Ish for ducking his shoulder against the press. so weak! W.T.F.

Macon scores again, this time over Maston. Carter immediately fouls Jake, will shoot bonus 9:43

front end good. 2nd off. 47-41 WVU

Mot with a block, then Maston loses it on the other end after catching it near the block on the break. should have pulled it back there... Huggy timeout @ 9:20, WVU up 47-41

Get Terry out now.

It was a few games ago Maston was the best player on the floor. Now, I can't trust he remembers how to walk properly.
