PrintI have randomly thrown shoes, moped around and had a few too many glasses of Johnny Walker Red over the past few days. The holes in my wall, worn out sweatpants and my liver cannot take anymore depression. It is time to suck it up, put football season behind me and get over the New Year's Day Massacres.
It is officially basketball season bitches. That means I am back once again to proudly present to you, the Most Awesome Player of the Game (MAPOG), Truck Bryant. Truck played only 20 minutes but scored 15 points, had two assists, grabbed two rebounds, along with two steals.
While he may not have the best stat line of the game, Truck made the biggest difference with his ability to handle the ball and start the offense. If he is healthy, everyone can play their natural position and the offense will flow more effectively.
We played a complete game from beginning to end. We won and our starters got some much needed rest at the end of the game. This could be a key game that gets us ready for the remainder of our schedule. Let's Go Mountaineers!

Great game
Was in attendance last night. The guys showed a lot of hustle ALL game, on both ends of the court. If we can play like that the rest of the season, I see no reason for not winning out.
Black uniform
I like. Even though they look dark blue when the game is not in HD.
Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

Yeah, But 5th...
…don’t you know that Truck sucks, and we don’t have one good guard on the team?
And by the way, have you put out an APB for Dr. Charley West, yet?
Now is the time boys to make a big noise.
No matter what the people say,
For there is naught to fear, the gang's all here,
So hail West Virginia, hail.
Had lunch with him yesterday.
His hoes have been out of line recently and his hands are sore from smackin’em. Not conducive to typing.
Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

The basketball team did what good teams do and the football team doesn’t – blew out an inferior opponent. Look good enough for a game to make you believe than could beat anyone.
However, hold the phone on Truck. First , while he may have a boo boo’d ankle, he wasn’t playing because he was turning the ball over and not playing defense. Second, he did force bad shots on two occasions, both of which he made, and also blew a 3 on 2 fast break by taking the ball too deep before making a pass. While he played much better, he still showed some poor tendencies.
Furthermore, we were playing Rutgers. Yes, we blew them out and that is to be commneded, but how many times last year did Truck have a good game, following which the media hailed him as having “turned the corner” only to follow it up with an egg. (See UConn 11 pts, Marquette 0, Marshall 22, South Florida 0….etc.)
He needs to prove to be consistent and consistent against good opponents before I hail him as having turned the corner.
I thought Mazzula played his best games since 2008 and better than Bryant. If only he were healthy……
Player of the Game has to go to Kevin Jones. Dude made 8 of 9 shots and had 19 points. Giving the award to Truck is like saying, “thank you for not playing like a retard, here’s an award.”
Saw some defensive collapses that shouldn’t happen and a couple bad offensive posessions. But all in all, by far our best game of the season and we looked like the #8 team in the country.
Truck played really well.
Kevin Jones was awesome too but I felt Truck was MAPOG.
Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

did you really think he was the most awesome player on the court yesterday? would you have given him MAPOG if he hadn’t been playing so poorly recently?
Yes
He ran the point well and allowed the rest of his teammates to play their natural positions.
Why do you think Jones was MAPOG?
Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

No one player really jumped out to me. But it’s hard to argue with jones efficiency. He played more minutes than truck and didn’t take any bad shots. But truck played much better and with that I am pleased. The dark horse mapog would of course be cam thoughman for his monster jam 3 point play. Kudos all around.

wow....
I’m pretty shocked with your thank you for not playing like a retard comment.
Do you think all “retards” play alike? Do you think the same thing about black and jews and hispanics? No, just “retards”? How do you spell loser?
Sweet
You said it right 5YS. A good curb-stomping of a conference foe (even if it was just Rutgers) sure did take the sour taste out of my mouth about the New Year’s Day massacres. When they notch another road win at ND Saturday, I’ll feel even better.
