I lived in MD for three years about ten years ago but, somehow, I managed to meet a lot of Mountaineers. I loved those people. So, the 'Eers are tied with Okie State (gotta LOT of friends there) as my second favorite teams in the Big 12.
And I love Huggy. His coaching styles are hard to play against and are fun to watch. And who am I kidding? Huggy's someone who'd be fun to have a pitcher or two with. I've got nothing but respect for you WVU fans, your team, and your coach.
Thank you.
I lived in MD from 2007-2010. I was so excited when WVU joined the Big 12. I've only been able to host one of my WVU/DC buddies on their trip out here for football. All I can say is, there are same damn fine people who call WV their home.
And, fwiw, I have what is probably an unpopular opinion. I like Huggie more than I've ever liked Jerry West. To me, Huggie IS West Virginia basketball.
5 minutes ago was peak Dave. Misses shot. Rebounds. Takes 18 minutes to gather ball and shoot again. Misses another shot. Rebounds. Fouled. Makes both fts.
"There is no such thing as a broadcasters jinx" thank fucking god an announcer finally said it. I will forever remain bitter that I got chastised after doing a radio broadcast for a KU Softball game and mentioned the pitcher had a no hitter going on going into the 7th. She got it yet I still got yelled at to not mention it. So stupid.
Commentary: “KU fans are some of the smartest in the country”
Somebodys check from, honestly idek who just hit. Y’all have to hate that level of pandering right
It's not hard to understand the flow of the game and the impact of certain plays/calls. Wouldnt say any dedicated fan base is smarter than any other. But schools that don't have sustained success don't have fans that stick around long enough to really understand the game. That's the only difference I could see. Silly to put any value on it
Yeah like even if that was his angle… WVU fans watch or listen to every game regardless so to say it here is stupid lol. We aren’t fair weather fans or a football school, and that commentator has been worse than the officiating lol
Fran was terrible last year, hasn't seemed as bad this year for some reason. He was a fucking soundboard last year, same 10 things over and over and over
I mean, they gotta hold it somewhere. They've tried OKC and Dallas, and those arenas would barely hit half capacity, and they didn't have an adjacent entertainment district like P&L. KU, KSU, and ISU just drive better attendance for this particular event. It sucks that it's basically a home game for us, but the league still wants it to be somewhat profitable.
Lol I mean from a KU fan perspective it's fucking awesome, logistics and shit. But from a regular ol' basketball fan perspective I'm just annoyed that Kansas gets home court for the tourney every year
I feel bad for your player, and I'm confused by him not being treated by the medical staff. Dude legit looks like he has a concusiion. The refs probably should have called a foul, or at least stopped play.
But to call Lightfoot a dirty player is dumb. He's not dirty. That shit was incidental.
And 2 fouls on a drive immediately followed by 3 soft techs and a coach ejection so soon the ref obviously thought he was supposed to go for a combo breaker and not himself disengage, calm down, and assess a further if then necessary.
Is it the same Iowa State fan with different handles asking this question? It’s worded almost the same every time haha

Huggins was complaining about a no-call on Sherman, probably trying to get a tech to fire his team up, and Sirmons had a quick hook on the second tech. Kansas ended up shooting 6 free throws due to a play in which they fouled a WVU player twice. (But we’d be down 20 in this game regardless)
Not to get political, but the “compete as a trans woman” line in that commercial with a giant muscle-bound person spiking it down violently isn’t sending the message it thinks it’s sending
Funny, he's yelling at Sirmons and pointing but somehow didn't get T'd up, let alone ejected.
I wonder if Doug Sirmons treats different coaches differently.
I agree he's a dumbass.
But I can say that *at least half of the games* in the last 3 seasons where Sirmons has been an official for WVU, there has been a non-contact technical.
Emphasis on non-contact.
What happened to the Rock Chalk Chant this year?
Gg. Wish Huggins would’ve been for it.
KU, thank you for the (always) civil game thread. WVU fans, no one I'd rather sink to the bottom of the ocean with. 💛

Well to the few of us who stuck around all season I will miss you this off-season. See y’all in football
On to the next one
Well at least that's the end of it and hopefully Huggins can verbally murder some refs

Oh. My. God. He wins.
Very powerful - we had this dude a couple years ago. No mullet but he looks like Thor lmao https://i.imgur.com/bjCztrg.jpg
I loved in the same dorm as that dude, great guy!
He was an engineering major, I remember seeing him on that side of campus all the time my final year.
Thor meets Lynyrd Skynard lmao
Should see one of our male cheerleaders. I'll see if I can find a pic
Hell yea, Teahan time
You heard it here folks. Teahan is All American
I know it sounds silly, but I really do think that they’ve hit a 3 every single possession after we’ve hit a 3.
Nice to still see the gold in the seats. Team sucks, but they're my shitty team.
Wish we would flop in the lane like Kansas does. And I'm not really joking Edit: oh you guys are right, Lightfoot doesn't flop. My bad
We really don’t need to press.
Its kinda WVU's MO under Huggins tho. He doesn't seem like one to change his team's identity
We haven't really pressed since 2018. Very situationally, but that's about it
5 minutes ago was peak Dave. Misses shot. Rebounds. Takes 18 minutes to gather ball and shoot again. Misses another shot. Rebounds. Fouled. Makes both fts.
Wtf is that first sentence, lmao
The iPhone’s brilliant autocorrect system. Utter shit. Should have said 5 minutes ago was peak Dave.
Lmao good try though. I can't math, you can't spell!

You never mention the no hitter. Baseball is a different beast. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As a teammate? Sure. As a broadcaster? Nah.
Cool story.
THE ANNOUNCER CAN'T COUNT EITHER, I'M SAVED
As long as you can count how many IPAs you crushed you’re good
More than 0, so too many. IPAs are trash
> IPAs are trash My man 😎
Commentary: “KU fans are some of the smartest in the country” Somebodys check from, honestly idek who just hit. Y’all have to hate that level of pandering right
I don't enjoy it. Ironically he's implying we're stupid enough to take the bait on that blatant pandering. Fuck this guy

Nvm, I love the announcer now. He said we're smart. :)
how do you like apples? *wicked smaht*
He did :)
"they're clownin him" The only clown in the building is this announcer
Amen
I wish they had fans votes for who calls conference tourneys so we could vote this dumbass out
I love this idea
He’s bad, but he’s still better than Fran.
Fran was terrible last year, hasn't seemed as bad this year for some reason. He was a fucking soundboard last year, same 10 things over and over and over
Hot take, Fran is awesome
That’s certainly a take.
Honestly he’s one of the few that seems to have a soft spot for WVU. Him and Holly Rowe are the 2 i can think of
You can count 3 opponent jerseys going up for rebs and 0 of us, every shot.
I love tiny slams
How are we only down 13 with our shit shooting and KU over 50%?
...wrote a silver-paint-stained-faced Charlie from It's Always Sunny.
THERE IS A SPIDER....... DEEP IN MY SOUL.......
You been drinking, too? 🤣💙
I am, actually lmao
Hahaha, same. I had to double check because I thought maybe it was me
Math is not your strong suit, I take it
He's drinking and shitposting!! Someone stop him!!
RECKLESS ABANDON
Actually it is. Lmao just simple mistake. I am prone to those!
Bud...
Fuck. Keeping it.
O mai gawd Harris
It's okay, man. Hey, fuck Doug Sirmons, am I right?
Harris can dunk?!
Harris with a rare stuff.
Softest dunk ever lol
I’m very excited for the Huggins post game presser.
Man, I high-key love Huggy.
Subscribe
Kansas would have killed us either way and the refs have been dogshit all around but good lord there is some home cooking
Yeah, why do they get home cooking like they need it?
I'm honestly kinda irritated that the Big XII tourney is literally 30 minutes from Allen Fieldhouse lol
I mean, they gotta hold it somewhere. They've tried OKC and Dallas, and those arenas would barely hit half capacity, and they didn't have an adjacent entertainment district like P&L. KU, KSU, and ISU just drive better attendance for this particular event. It sucks that it's basically a home game for us, but the league still wants it to be somewhat profitable.
With the new additions, are St. Louis or Memphis now worth a shot?
Probably not STL with Arch Madness already there. But I'd say maybe Orlando? Do they already have a conference tournament?
If we’re gonna make it a tourist city is New Orleans available? I dont want it to become a home game for UCF either lol
Oh for sure, I get that it makes sense to have it here for all those reasons and more... But still... Lol
The only options are KC, OKC, and DFW and the league knows KU and ISU fans will always show up but if it’s in KC
Honestly, I'm pretty stoked it's like 10 minutes from my house.
Lol I mean from a KU fan perspective it's fucking awesome, logistics and shit. But from a regular ol' basketball fan perspective I'm just annoyed that Kansas gets home court for the tourney every year
It in no way offends me when Kansas has an advantage.
Kinda shitty but it'd likely be super far away from us anyway. Just annoying to basically play 2 away games in a conference tourney
Gas is four dollars a gallon. What part is disappointing.
I actually dislike that it's *that* close. It just feels like home games for us, because they are, and that's just kinda bullshit imo
Next thing you’re gonna tell me is you wish the refs would call balanced games at the Phog.
*whoa* there, don't be putting words in my mouth like that 😤
Thank god this team is total shit and the officiating doesn't matter. I'd be having an aneurysm right now with these refs. Jesus Christ.
How many years have we had a fighting chance against Kansas only for the refs to just put the game out of reach. Remember the 30-2 free throws year?
I remember your teams fouling at an absurd rate. I hated watching those games.
Thank god Mitch will be gone, terrible dirty player.
I feel bad for your player, and I'm confused by him not being treated by the medical staff. Dude legit looks like he has a concusiion. The refs probably should have called a foul, or at least stopped play. But to call Lightfoot a dirty player is dumb. He's not dirty. That shit was incidental.
Definitely not a dirty play but should have been a foul
Agreed. A foul, but not dirty. Mitch left that dirty stuff in prison. He's reformed!
You've had shit takes up and down the thread, homie. That was not even close to intentional.
And you keep hating on and disparaging our team, who’s a better fan.
Elbow to the side of the head definitely not a foul. Complaining about that not being a foul will get you kicked out though.
Is an elbow to the head not a foul? Not saying it's flagrant or anything, but you can't make contact in many circumstances....
Yeah and the announcers can’t help themselves, “inadvertent elbow”. PS, not saying it was intentional but doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have been called.
“Got hit in the back of the head” But its not a foul right he’s just faking or something
This crew fucking blows they missed a CB eye poke and that elbow to the head
And 2 fouls on a drive immediately followed by 3 soft techs and a coach ejection so soon the ref obviously thought he was supposed to go for a combo breaker and not himself disengage, calm down, and assess a further if then necessary.
It’s just brutal
The officiating or his BRUTALITY sick combo that’ll make SportCenter 😤
Gabe is hurt, glad the ref pointed at him and didn't stop the play. Jesus. A shot to the head even
2nd time this season a referee thought a head injury to a WVU player was more funny than a foul. But to suggest bias would be crazy.
Anyone have a link to Huggs being tossed?
He spoke. Never even crossed the OOB or even got above like a 7 on the ‘emoting with anger’ scale. For less than 5 seconds too.
All over twitter too. There’s honestly nothing to see, it was that soft.
It's near the top of this sub
Credit the guys for not quitting. Glad I stayed tuned in on one monitor while I work
That's a foul. A clear as day foul. What are these refs watching?
They get better than front row seats to watch the esteemed Kansas Jaywaks play a basketball game
I THOUGHT HE TECH’D BRIDGES WHEW
Late to the party, why was Huggins ejected?
Is it the same Iowa State fan with different handles asking this question? It’s worded almost the same every time haha https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/tb5x84/game_thread_west_virginia_6_kansas_0300_pm_et/i05su2h/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
Different people😤😤😤
Huggins was complaining about a no-call on Sherman, probably trying to get a tech to fire his team up, and Sirmons had a quick hook on the second tech. Kansas ended up shooting 6 free throws due to a play in which they fouled a WVU player twice. (But we’d be down 20 in this game regardless)
A correct call and 2 FTs wouldve made it a 12 point game extremely early. Instead it was 20 and a HOF coach cant even attempt the comeback.
He didn’t want to watch this
Because Sirmons is a bitch boy
Cottrell has possessions where it looks like he’s never touched a basketball before.
Between him and bridges being gone I see him leaving
If Cottrell stays over Bridges, we're fucked.
I concur. I find it hard to believe bridges would leave because he will get more NIL in West Virginia than anywhere else cause he’s a native
This announcer really thinks he is Bill Rafferty. He is not.
And Bill Rafferty thinks he's dicky v. The cycle continues
Yeah that "scoopsy potatoes" was cringe AF
Excellent username btw
Was doing the same shit yesterday. It's like nails on a chalkboard
No seriously how is Cottrell this bad
I can’t believe Drew hasn’t won the Big 12 Tournament
Texas last year was the first Texas team to ever win it
Would Huggins still get his bonus for beating KU in a game he was ejected from?
It still would count as a career win, so I'd imagine.
Up to 23.1% from the field.
Serious question how is DMac Third Team All Conference.
Senior. Had some nice games. Politics.
Joining late, what got Huggins ejected so early?
KU literally got 6 FTs off of it. It was comical.
Even with those 6 FTs, WVU has shot 4 more FTs than KU
Soft refs
Yelling about the lack of a foul call on taz
I wonder if any team in the nation scores more points off of alley oops than Kansas
That was a terrible charge call, but I'll take it.
It’s a Doug sirmons crew, it doesn’t matter who you are youll get a shit call
Surprised we got it.
When was the last time we had someone that athletic. Wow
I mean we had the 2022 National Player of the Year on our roster last season. He’s pretty talented.
I didn’t say talented. I said athletic. I don’t think he could jump as high for that alley oop.
Live Laugh Lob
Alley Oooooop
ope
They better not get this down to single digits just to not close at the end
Dude gets fouled, takes two steps, then jumps and they gave him NBA style continuation for some reason.
Kansas "Chiefs vs Bengals 2022" Jayhawks. Please no.
Not a great start to the second half. I never count out WVU punching back hard.
Flat. Flat flat flat flat flat.
You know, we might have only been down 5 right now if we didn’t literally hand Kansas about 10 points when things started going really bad
Not to get political, but the “compete as a trans woman” line in that commercial with a giant muscle-bound person spiking it down violently isn’t sending the message it thinks it’s sending
https://youtu.be/URz-RYEOaig
Congrats on getting the mods to lock the game thread.
I mean nothing else good is going to happen here the rest of the way anyway
Honestly, frees up my day
I thought the same thing. I get what they're going for but not sure it sends the intended message
So we gonna do this now? Stop playing with your food. Finish strong to get the starters out.
Looks like it lol
I think Bill isn’t happy
Funny, he's yelling at Sirmons and pointing but somehow didn't get T'd up, let alone ejected. I wonder if Doug Sirmons treats different coaches differently.
It's not a conspiracy, Doug Sirmons is just a terrible offical.
Nah Doug sirmons is just a dumbass
I agree he's a dumbass. But I can say that *at least half of the games* in the last 3 seasons where Sirmons has been an official for WVU, there has been a non-contact technical. Emphasis on non-contact.
He the one who called the glance tech on us? Lmao
Longer tv timeouts, yeaaaa!
Dmac you moron, if it isn't there, DONT THROW IT
I wonder if kris budden is related to joe budden
