half court shot to put us into the NIT LMFAO


Game ends at half time?
lol. For some of these guys it ended at the first whistle


Yet we're only down 5.


29-23=6


You're right. Read the score wrong at the time.

Nuni with 3 turnovers in 3 minutes. Only way we have a chance is to move him to the 4 and put Manu, King, and Lindsey out there. Please don't put Vital at the 3...

King shooting instead of dribbling usually works. More of that, kindly.

I'm just kidding but I could do without the posters who drew the short straw coming into our thread and kicking up dirt. They fact there's such a large division on here is why I never came over in the olden days. I hate how there's no other place to go.

Egot is definitely softer

Meanwhile, on the premium boards, they're talking about how we're giving WVU false confidence with all these easy turnovers...
You're trailer trash.
Bought and paid for, thank you!
EGOTbear

No I hate it. I am super pissed off right now.

Everyone should be pissed off probably losing 4 out of last 5 to dumpster NIT

Manu with his usual miss on an open 3 leading to a WVU run out. 5 point swing.

They're starting to call WVU for holding? That's... unexpected.

I don't know who the color commentator is on ESPN, but he is voluntarily doing to the hillbillies what Jon Voight was about to be forced to do before Burt Reynolds shot Wild Bill McKinney with the arrow.

How much longer are we gonna allow Manu to dribble in place until the shot clock goes off.
Illinois Bear

Just one time.....ONE TIME I'd like to see Drew heated on the sideline in a players ear. Just one time!

First time we go low in 6 minutes after Konate went to the bench is on a break led by Vital. Says it all.

Glad to see we've doubled WVU's foul total this half. These refs are a joke.

And we're a joke tonight as well...

I mean if anyone is on the committee is watching tonight...even if we weren't out based on record/resume. We are definitely out by the eye test

Some really fragile egos in here.

Yep. The danger of playing late. Lunardi said as much as well, that we couldn't afford to be run. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if we have that late tease to cut it closer but most people have tuned out that set brackets.
