Key in beating WVU is getting about a 7 point lead and then they start feeling rushed, fire up shots and they're typically just not good at shooting. It forces them out of wrestleball. We just need to nail a 3 or two.

Keyonte has grown up tonight. Impressive.

And a wasted end to the first half, as usual.

How was that not offensive goaltending or a T for hanging on the rim? Was LJ underneath him and I just didn't see it?
