Refs on point so far if you're the rest of the world

Please.....everyone needs to STOP with the ref comments. IT AIN'T THE REFS!!! We are playing awful! It's not over, but it's close. THere is a small glimmer of hope....very small.

Get it to within 10 with 10 left and they can have something going to build on for the rest of the game

Trying to get it to 16 and throw a great bounce pass to King who can't handle it.

That type of night.

If we got every call in the world we would be down by 10


Last I checked 10 is less than 20


My point is that we are just losing this game and if we do not up our game it really is academic what the refs do

Its completely changed the dynamic of the game but ok. Ksu is ultra aggressive bc they are allowed to be and ultra confident due to it. We are uncomfortable being pushed and grabbed everywhere and hesitating and pressing. As someone said, we can't comeback if wvu is allowed to suffocate things.

Dozier no good, Notice misses a 3, but King doesn't block him out... then silva scores

unacceptable effort.

Your victim syndrome (refs, ESPN, announcers, etc.) is tiresome. Focus more on rooting for our team and less on that stuff.

I think he's a 25-30 first round pick. He'll be a good bench guy. Future NBA starters don't get stopped by good college defenses.

Great - USC is cooling off! They only shot 1/4 on that possession.

Jake turns it over with a horrific drive and pass. what the hell is going on?

Silva fouled and will shoot. makes 1 of 2. 49-28 14:25

Jake needs to sit the bench the rest of the way. Smartest guy on the team didn't bring his head today
