Game Thread: West Virginia Mountaineers @ Providence Friars

West Virginia Mountaineers at Providence Friars, Feb 5, 2012 12:00 PM EST


080415_providence_college_medium

After almost a full week's break (a much needed one, so it seems), Huggs has the men back in action today on the road at Providence College to take on the Friars. As Chuck noted Friday, this break couldn't have come at a better time as West Virginia's current 3 game losing streak is the longest since Huggs came home to his alma mater. The Mountaineers, and all of us for that matter, hope it doesn't get any longer.

Televised coverage is being provided by ESPN3 and the Big East Network, which includes MASN, SNY and others, at noon. So, before the Super Bowl parties commence, sit back, relax, grab yourself an early favorite beverage or 11 and join us in running commentary, random observations, snark, wit, funny pictures, hopes, fears, cheers and jeers in the comments section.

And, as always...

Big game..

We need to get back on track and this one is pretty obviously a should/must win.

My hope is

Rutledge will have a break out game as the first big off the bench.

What is happening right now.

Who are these people playing for providence

by WfVA on Feb 5, 2012 12:31 PM EST reply actions  

We are at least starting to play with some heart.

That last foul on them was pretty obvious. The dude pulled KJ’s shoulder.

by huggybear67 on Feb 5, 2012 12:41 PM EST reply actions  

I like playing back

off Council. Dude demands more respect than we were giving him.

by huggybear67 on Feb 5, 2012 12:41 PM EST reply actions  

And it should start

with getting the ball in low. These long shots tend to have long rebounds.

Can't watch

but gamecast says KJ only has 9 pts, what is up?

Teams have been playing a lot of zone lately.

Plus Deniz actually came to play and Truck is hot.

by huggybear67 on Feb 5, 2012 1:25 PM EST up reply actions  

So he isn't getting a ton of looks?

Since you posted this

he has scored 5. He is getting decent looks, but they are keeping him off the offensive glass for the most part. His scoring tends to come in bunches, and I’m hoping he is saving it for down the stretch.

by huggybear67 on Feb 5, 2012 1:38 PM EST up reply actions  

Can't seem to get closer

than about 5, eh?

Hey everybody

Just showed up…overtime? against the Friars? Really?

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?

by dubveeyou on Feb 5, 2012 2:12 PM EST reply actions  

coming off a 3 game losing streak

I would say a win would reverse the trend

by huggybear67 on Feb 5, 2012 2:13 PM EST up reply actions  

Looks like

they picked it up in the 2nd half, but we better play some defense here.

KJ never misses those

Man..that would have been nice

It's like they gave The Turk

a code red and made him a cold hard killer overnight.

by JohnRadcliff on Feb 5, 2012 2:18 PM EST reply actions  

Nice shot Truck

We win!! Streak broken

Wow!!

Just getting the win is all I cared about. We needed that. Three players with 20 points in one game. That is a shootout.
