Great effort but that loss was on Prohm straightaway. Huggins just owned him the last 5 minutes by overplaying Bolton and pressing the inbounds pass after the 2 FTs that put WV up one. Prohm never has an answer. My 14 yr old son busted up laughing when the announcer said Prohm is great at inbounds plays coming out of a time out. He’s awful. With 20 seconds left we should have been playing for the winning shot, instead we lose by 5. Steve Prohm has no business coaching at this level.

We showed a pulse. That was cool.

Not much execution down the stretch but it's hard to ***** when I never expected it to be remotely this close.

Not reviewing that last out of bounds was absolutely inexcusable by those refs. They review everything inside a min or 2 and that looked like our ball. If I was Steve I would have been ejected the second it went to 2 possessions.

Tyler Harris needs to start in place of Javan Johnson, who needs to play minimal minutes

I dunno about that, guy was chucking up air balls, and had some of his own turnovers, Harris had some significant contributions to the losing side of the ledger tonight.

Neither of them were any good.

Don’t even want to hear his explanation of why he called time when he did.

He has been calling those legendary timeouts since he got here. We have lost multiple games with Freds recruits those first two years because of those decisions.

But the team showed some fight today , maybe things wont be bad till 2025. I think he needs to become a better coach or get mentoring in the offseason.

Somebody should tell the guys you can run the baseline after a made shot. It would help inbounding the ball I imagine...

Way up there
FT difference hurt but so did 21 turnovers. Tough one to lose but there were a lot of things that we did well that we had struggled with all year. Ball movement was much better, we got a lot of good looks going to the basket and not settling for 3's and we battled them on the boards. They have a huge advantage there but we had more guys boxing out and getting in the lane for rebounds than we had all year.

Do I think Steve Prohm is the answer here? No.
Do I think our team, including Steve showed fight tonight? Yes.
That effort tonight beats SDSU and maybe KState. They need to continue to improve and suprise us.
