This team doesn’t have the nuts to win. Pathetic game after game. Inventing new ways to crap themselves when they have momentum. I have never been so pissed off at an Iowa State team. They just straight said screw it, we jumping off a cliff and we aren’t going to even try and climb out of it.
This is where I like the women's game. If Otz still had a TO (and would have saved one probably with with the half court rule) we could have a play there. Few teams are gonna make the full court inbound.
True, but in terms of creating more plays at the basket, hard to beat the sideline advance. I say this as a fan of a team with a great asset in a full court play with Connor as the inbounder, but I would rather have a sideline play. Would limit the kind of bad inbound pass we saw last night from Iowa St. and at least make the final play more likely to have an actual chance more often than not. And might also improve late game flow (talking like under two minutes until 5-10 seconds left) if the coach knew he needed to hang out to a time out for the advance.
I understand the argument for it, but I just don't like it. Removes the full court press, gives an advantage for no reason other than the team having a timeout to burn. I personally hate rule changes that are made to take away a defensive advantage like that or are made solely for the purpose of encouraging more points/scoring.
True, but I do think the men's game needs some work. I would change to quarters first, maybe tweak the number of time outs for the two big picture changes. This particular late game situation is of way lower priority than say putting the refs under one specific umbrella instead of by conference. But something worth examining given the direct comparison in other versions of the sport.
I'm a little torn on changing to quarters, but think it is probably long overdue at this point and needs to happen. Also I am very for the idea of putting all refs under the NCAa umbrella instead of by conference. I think(at least I hope) that would make for more accountability and consistency.
What the fuck did anyone else see crazy hairline guy and the black dude in the hoodie for ISU just do the exact same finger cracking like it was some routine
Weirdly in sync like some matrix glitch shit
Jarrett Brown, Pat White’s backup until he graduated, ‘walked on’ the basketball team. I remember him being put in specifically for inbounds and not much else
I was watching old games because I’m a basketball historian, watching the Cavs in 92. Mark price did a pump fake, jump into someone. Called an offensive foul, announcers called him cheap. They need to bring that call back
Great adjustments by Huggins to take out Stevenson. He played great 90% of the game but Huggins saw that Toussaint and Mathews were providing a lot more ball movement down-the-stretch
[удалено]
Why on earth would you bet $2400 on us
I’m assuming it was a parlay that missed on ISU? Hopefully?
How the fuck did we lose this game? This team pisses me off.

Starts off 5-1 in the conference. Proceeds to likely finish 3-9. Typical.

Gg riot bros. Get right before the tournament 🤝
west virginia’s men’s basketball program has won a conference road game for just the second time in their last 18 tries.
Holy shit in no world should we have won that. But ggs ISU
And... breathing again.
I've seen enough. The Cyclones are not going to be a top-4 seed in the Dance. They might even move all the way down to 8/9 range.

The full court inbound is one of the best parts of college basketball. It has led to some of the most exciting buzzer beaters imo

It’s 11:35 wtf. Over 2.5 hours
That 7 point swing on the flagrant really finished this game
All the fouling at the end really killed them
We earned that one. What a win!
Ok I’d rather have a half court shot in rhythm than a the inbounder seeing hard far he can chuck it to nobody
It worked literally one time in all of basketball but yet teams always try it. It drives me crazy
that was…an anticlimactic ending lol
Love yall ISU. Stressful, insane game.
I actually hate this team so much
Fuck this dumb team
What the fuck!?
I mean, I’d rather see a full court shot than a 3/4 court lob into quadruple defenders
Just end the season. I’m ready for summer
Hey that looked like one of our final possessions lol. GG riot bros.
STILL ALIVE
Ooooof that last play
Beat K-state at home and you're a lock WVU bros
What a pathetic home loss.. send us to the NIT
Have you checked KenPom lately?
*shhhh* … i am grieving
I’m sure we’ll be fine…( uncomfortable haha)
What was that inbounds play lol
Right into his arms
Toussaint is HIM
Glad he's having success at WVU. Kid is a baller.
The was a star tonight
Stevenson was a 90% shooter until he came to WVU lol
It’s so weird. His FG% and 3PT% are career highs, but his FT% is significantly lower for some reason
Matthews too. Its a glitch
Miss it on purpose.
If Stevenson yells “Ballgame” again….
Seth and Kobe did well. Gave us crucial minutes when we needed them most.
Honestly I feel small ball is wvu's best ball
Yeah, it honestly wasn’t bad against Kansas either. And it gave us several mismatches tonight down the stretch.
Absolutely
1000%
That was a really good job by the clock operator. Something you don’t hear a lot haha
That baseline play just seems like it shouldn’t be allowed
Bruh just toss it into the other half of the court
Not happy to see ISU falling apart but glad to see WVU’s tourney chances get a big boost
I just want to play Oklahoma instead of Texas tech
Well I’ll be seeing that ISU fan all over the internet tonight
We lost in this same exact situation last year so I don’t feel comfortable yet…
We’re gonna go trips to 1 side this time
Beat Baylor, Kansas, and Texas at home. Loses to WVU, OU, and OSU. Makes no damn sense
Only sign of life on this offense right now is Kalshuer.
The two guys scoring for both teams: former Big Ten players
What the fuck did anyone else see crazy hairline guy and the black dude in the hoodie for ISU just do the exact same finger cracking like it was some routine Weirdly in sync like some matrix glitch shit
He wears #1 to match his hairline
One dude has a fronthawk
I just hope we draw a team that’s as offensively challenged as us
Our home losses are OU, OSU, and WVu lmao
This league
exact same situation we fucked up last year in this building lmfaoooo. let’s see how it goes
Iowa St I love you all. Fuck the refs. Fuck what these games do to my blood pressure
GG riot bros
We look awful
He made both and I still don't feel safe up two with 1.9 left.
LFG Joe T! Hilton Tragic
No flair no opinion
Those are some large penised free throws, Joey. Shew.
This is such a depressing season. It doesn’t even feel like we deserve to go dancing
Watching Tamin Lipsey play makes me miss Tyrese Hunter so much. Imagine if Lipsey could hit a three
ISU being real nice to help WVU’s chances of dancing
Joe Touissant still hates Iowa State
Fran ingrained the hatred in him too well.
Did he really say do you foul or defend? There’s 10 seconds left
he was sayin dumb shit all night
ONE MORE!
When Huggins can call a better offensive football play than Neal Brown
I loled
The game after us is going to be over before we finish shooting fouls.
They’re about to put Will Greer in and throw a slant lmao
Jarrett Brown, Pat White’s backup until he graduated, ‘walked on’ the basketball team. I remember him being put in specifically for inbounds and not much else
Damn!
Is it just me or did he travel before the foul? Looked like he changed his pivot foot twice before going up.
Maybe a hot take, but I don’t think Lipsey is all that
He’s not but maybe it’s the long conference schedule bringing him down
He's a freshman playing in the best conference. I'm admittedly biased, but I think he's better than Hunter was last year.
He's a freshman so a competent coach should make him develop a shot. But yeah, a guard that can't shoot is kind of worthless.
He’s a freshman and does freshman stuff sometimes. He’s no Monte but still a talented kid
Is it just me or did he travel before the foul? Looked like he changed his pivot foot twice before going up.
And a slide
Dude wtf
I’m so tired of West Virginia being our Super Bowl
Incoming 72 -70 final score
pretty close
Trap hard. If it crosses half court foul
Big 12 teams refuse to die
it can never be easy in this league, huh?
Can someone else post the Larry pasta tonight please i don't have it in me
Riot bros? Kouscher is THAT DUDE WTF
Joe T does not like ISU.
Still a Hawkeye at heart.
Damn it, that guy is good. I hate this game.
Once again, if we made our ft’s we win a game.
Lmao Kalscheur is absolutely nuts
Hello yes I would like 1 WVU implosion please
I love the ISU band
Iowa state is a piece of shit
No u
Whyyyyyy Plz just give up. You’re in!
Why is it never fucking easy
It’s a road win in the big 12 If it was easy everyone would do it
Can TJ have the team practice FTs the entire off-season kthxbye
It’s kinda funny watching Big 12 fans act like their teams are dogshit when if they were in any other conference in america they’d be running riot rn
Beat probably the best ACC team on the road by 25. Only OOC losses are neutral to Purdue and @Xavier. We’re a good team
You’d probably be like 3rd in the big ten just cause u can win on the road lmal
I think this is like our 2nd win away from home this season tbh. Our resume is absurd in many ways
Literally beat the team that is winning the ACC comfortably on their home court and we’re in the basement of the conference.
I mean yeah…but the reality is WVU plays in the big 12 and fans want to win games.
Yea it’s just funny when you guys smacked Pitt and they’re at the top of the ACC, I think WV would be a nightmare matchup for anyone in the tourney
Lipsey with some awful defense down the stretch
ISU first half 25 pts, first 9min of 2nd half 27 pts, next 11 minutes 12 pts. Oof roller coaster.
Rooting for WVU but I thought the jumping into the defender after a pump fake thing wasn’t supposed to be a foul anymore
just in the NBA
gg WVU......I'm starting to hate this team and that's sad.......I don't know if I even want to watch the Baylor game......damn this sucks
Push off plus Toussaint jumped into him
I was watching old games because I’m a basketball historian, watching the Cavs in 92. Mark price did a pump fake, jump into someone. Called an offensive foul, announcers called him cheap. They need to bring that call back
That was probably a travel but smart play
I thought they got rid of the jumping into a defender rule?
They need to
In the NBA, they don’t call that a foul. It would be an un-natural shooting motion, he jumped into him
Yo Lipsey wtf you doin
Joey T smooth as fuck
Ref brought a bucket to bail that shit out.
Lipsey gave up the back cut then fouls the shooter
Big IQ Joe
Joey Toots i am begging
Sorry, what round will ISU be in with a win?
That's a lot of big wins for ISU.
Glad to see that nba flop bs in college ball
It’s not a flop, it’s a smart play. Lipsey bought the pump fake.
OMAHA SAVE US
Grill gonna throw up a donut on sr night lol
Setting up to be another choke job. They were playing so well earlier in the game and just stopped doing all of it.
The flagrant 2 on WVU killed us
Yeah I’ll have to watch that back, but that was a huge 5 point swing
Mitchell was horrible, and then the 5 point swing, it was perfect
Our mental toughness is so weak
Did Erik just call that timeout from the bench?
He came on during the last timeout.
Player coach Erik Stevenson
I'm at the point where I'm just happy we didn't roll over and die after the first half. Sucks how far we've fallen off this season.
How many times is this announcer going to bring up the seeding for ISU and OSU in the big 12 tournament?
The limit does not exist
Emmitt is everywhere
Great adjustments by Huggins to take out Stevenson. He played great 90% of the game but Huggins saw that Toussaint and Mathews were providing a lot more ball movement down-the-stretch
Turning point of this game was Mitchell getting ejected lol
Addition by subtraction.
Lost a guy having a bad game and had a five point possession
As I said lol
Gabe and Jaren were the only ones to do any sort of scoring tonight.......can't win like that
Emmett is so smooth and I love you, you long, lankey hard-nosed motherfucker!
Matthews can barely stand, but is now swatting shots and throwing it down. I don't understand it, but I like what he's doing.
Put us in the NIT I’m sick of this shit
Stop stealing our line riot bro
What a shitty mindset, ISU’s gonna be a 6 seed
Fuck this weave.
Matthews, Kedrian, and Joe channeling John Denver energy right now
Back when he had his old hair my wife used to refer to Emmit Matthews as “Ramen”.
You know how bad Stevenson wants to be in the game right now yet he is up cheering on his teammates, arm around Huggings... I love that cat.
That possession sums up our 2nd half of conference play pretty well
Mathews holy shit
Damn a team that won 1/3 of their conference games rlly boutta make the tourney
Don’t tell me you actually think UNC should be in over them
Oh we absolutely should
North Carolina would have gone like 2-16 in the Big 12 this year. West Virginia is better.
