Freshmen do great, freshmen suck, freshmen do great, freshmen suck.
Wigginton and Lard are the barometer of this team, and I don't mind it knowing they are going to be around next year and hopefully the year after that.
Can't remember a time I was more surprised by a win. Talley really stepped up.
Great win for this team. But WVU has been sliding, 5 loses in the last 6 games.
Also won't be surprised when ISU lays an egg in Baylor.
It's probably been said, but I was extremely impressed with Talley tonight. He was a one man press killer, and didn't think that he was capable of that. He was calm with the ball, and delivered to the right spots after breaking the press.
I will admit that I was pissed during the Tennessee game, and said I would be better off going outside to enjoy the weather (I didn't do so, btw), but this is why we support our teams. We knew this season was going to be rough, and when it looks like we should be completely out of it, we play like this.
Prohm haters can GTFO. He is a helluva coach, and is doing a supreme job with this team.

Last October for me.
Kind of similar situation except ISU didn't have to come back from behind tonight.
Maybe having two big physical guys inside is an antidote to their style. It's the obvious thing this team has that our previous 6 tournament teams didn't.
I always thought going into games against them that Monte being the best ball handler in the nation would nullify their press, it helped but somehow they still got their chaos officiating edge and won what felt like more than half of them those years.
I imagine playing for Huggins can take a toll win or lose. Look at the thread of everyone ripping on LE. I guarantee you it's not any easier to play for Huggins.
Their vibe from the start was obvious. Coach Prohm talked about being able to take a shot. Up 14, WV ties the game. We go back up by 10 and never look back.
Took Huggy's best shot and looked like we were the ranked team doing it. Congrats go to CSP and our players who believed.

Our last few against teams ranked 22 or higher:
dominant win
bone crushing blowout loss
dominant win

Team plays better when their best player goes down, from an old theory that the Knicks were better when Ewing was out.
I've known this for about 2 minutes from skimming summaries here:

See I see this combined with Saturday as a sign of a fundamental coaching issue. I’m thrilled with today but it has pissed me off more about Saturday. We expected ups and downs this year but they’ve been more extreme than they should. The issue is motivation and toughness. Sticking to pushing the tempo is what will make us successful this year. Now you might say that’s just a side effect of a young team or. Is team. I’d counter that we saw the same issue the past two years. Why is the staff unable to consistently motivate them. When they do they are great but I don’t think the issue should just be ignored.
