Thursday First Wave - Preview/Game Thread

• Laley23

  

  Thought about switching my pick to Clemson after they won. Never got around to it. Oh well. WVU has a second half run, just a question of if it will be enough.
• Laley23

  

  This ODU is a very good and active. Really quick to recover, and they actually rebound tremendously out of it.
• Non

  

  #24 and #45 for Clemson are long and active inside, going to cause WVU fits all day
• Laley23

  

  The only way WVU gets a board is if Clemson knocks it out of bounds. this is pathetic.
• Non

  

  Jerai Grant and Milton Jennings
  
  big dude for West Virginia giving them a lift
• Non

  

  40-37 Clemson
  
  little run for WVU
• Laley23

  

  TIED! Ill take that halftime score after how bad WV looked for 18 minutes of that half.
• Non

  

  tied
  
  40-40 at the half
  
  ok
• OneBuckeye

  

  If clemson wins just adds more fire to VT getting denied and ACC getting the shaft. Lets hope WVU can beat them and put it to rest.

  Agreed, though UAB-Clemson really settled it. VT did deserve it lol.
• OneBuckeye

  

  USC and UAB definately did not deserve it.

  WVU is 27-0 under Huggins when shooting better than 50 percent
  
  they're at 53 percent
  
  they've won 42 of 46 under Huggins when the opponent scores 69 or less
  
  giving up 40 at the half is definitely the glaring issue, they'll have to come back with a tougher defensive effort, Huggins I'm sure will whip em at halftime
• Laley23

  

  They will be tougher defensively, but its really the boards that are killing them.

  any chance a mod could lock individual game threads so we don't have a clusterfuck on here later today?
  
  These are 2 great games to start out. Clemson has missed a ton of easy shots/layups, they should have over 50. I don't think WVU can hang with them.
• Laley23

  

  I tried to start the (waves) of games so we have 4 threads going today, for 4 games each. I dont know if it will work, but it was a good idea in theory. Right now we seem to have everyone on here.
  
  I agree though, last year sucked having to switch to different threads to talk about the games.
• Laley23

  

  What a start to the Madness. Both these games may be final possessions!
• Non

  

  Either way, I think Pitt is in for a battle in the second round.
• osu45804

  

  Got ODU in the 2nd game
• Non

  

  WVU picking up the intensity
  
  as expected
• Laley23

  

  WVU starting to crash the boards much better. Its led to this run they are on. Both offensively and defensively.
• Non

  

  Deniz Kilicli has 8
  
  WVU found an extra source of offensive there, actually when they went on that 9-0 run he made a couple baskets to start it
• Laley23

  

  Guy for Morehead averages 14.5 rebounds a game! already with 2.
• Non

  

  6-9 270 from Istanbul, Turkey
  
  Vince McMahon may be scouting that guy lol
• Non

  

  WVU really picked it up defensively, getting in their face
  
  but it's leading to many fouls early in the second half
• Non

  

  Bryant a 3
  
  and the foul
  
  52-43 WVU
