ESPN has him 1-3... I was specifically referring to that trip. Should've made that clear in my post

Good start. We do look more focused, and quicker. I dont doubt we gave a lot of effort against Kansas, but much of it did seem inefficient or wasted. Hopefully the rust is coming off.

Sloppy Teague - he needs to stop shooting- you don't have it today (second air ball) feed Butler and Mitchell, don't shoot.

Seems like we try to get too cute with our passes in the paint. We had a lot of turnovers against KU because of that.

Teague definitely struggling. He needs to find his stroke again

He's been sloppy today. Can't do that against WV. They're reaching and slapping on every drive. Death by a thousand cuts

So far he's doing more harm than good.

Really really bad performance after the start. Really bad. Hope they find a way here. It will get better later but hopefully this game can be taken

Pathetic end of half. Just like the KU game. Any momentum is gone. Just some really bad ball being played by several guys.
