Oh boy...4 blocked shots already

WVU defense is smothering Cards

 

[TheRealVille]

They're playing like this is a pick up game at the park. Kelsey has to get control of the shot selection.

Smith should be starting.

we look tired.

Not really. We're shooting quick shots.

Did you see the 4 blocked shots at the beginning?

 

[shadow force]

Good comeback

 

[TheRealVille]

Did you see the 4 blocked shots at the beginning?

Couple of those were within seconds under the basket. Smothering in my mind is out on the court pushing the offense away from the basket. WVU is doing some of that which is why Kelsey needs Hepburn on the court.

 

[shadow force]

How was that not a 3 point play by Smith?

 

[TheRealVille]

Shot selection is just plain horrible. Looks like the guys expected more of the same from yesterday.

This is going to be the issue all season. Shot selection has to be cleaned up or ultimately we're going to lose games we shouldn't. Everyone can't have the green light.

 

[shadow force]

Nice offensive rebounding leads to Smith 3

 

[shadow force]

Huge 7 point swing

 

[earsky]

Just keep moving in the half and we'll get going. When guys stand around,it's trouble.

I think we're gonna wear them down

 

[shadow force]

28-24 WVU lead at the half

 

[TheRealVille]

Cards need to limit the 3's from everyone but Smith, Hepburn and Waterman. Pryor and Hadley need the red light. There's a reason they're left open.

Would love to see Rooths and Scott in together with some two man basketball. Scott is a good passer.

Free throw shooting has to get better.

 

[shadow force]

Hepburn is everywhere. Love this guy's effort on both ends.

 

[shadow force]

Posting up Hadley is a pretty effective wrinkle on the offense so far.

 

[TheRealVille]

What's with the airball from Smith there? He was wide open.

Now we're down a point.

 

[shadow force]

CARDS WIN IN OT!!

79-70

 

[achilles992000]

Thankful for Kelsey and the Cards on this Thanksgiving Day. they were exhausted and gave everything. Hepburn is pure alpha.
shout out to Moutaineers. really clutch team.

They have found a coach. Good offensive adjustments and they defend. Chucky is the most disruptive guard since Smith and Siva. He creates a lot of havoc off script. Pryor is really good when hedging screens.

 

[glassmanJ]

won despite going 7-28 from 3, that's impressive

A lot of those misses were just bad shots. Need to touch up the poor shot selection and unforced turnovers and this team will be very hard to beat..

 

[OldhamCard335]

Chuckie’s here, he’s there, he’s every freakin where!!!

GO CARDS! Let’s win this whole damned thing!!!

 

[Cardsfan350]

Just watched a WVU podcast. One of the first things he said was. I can’t stand Pryor, called him a white albino Pete Davidson.

Lmao I love it

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Good win.

 

[Thecycle27]

It is still early and no clue how the year will go. WVU found a winner too in their coach. They defend and they probably have better shot makers than Louisville. Their issue is their depth.

It is still early but you are seeing a transition in coaching. These younger guys get it. Also spending a ton in NIL doesn’t mean much if you can’t bring in people that fit.
