CW said he thought Tre didn’t play in the 2nd half because he isn’t an offensive threat. I swear people don’t think anything outside a 3 ptr or a layup is offense. Scoring ugly is better than not scoring.

 

[CRcyclone6]

just cause he didn’t do much doesn’t mean don’t have him out there.

If that was the case the whole damn team wouldn’t be out there lol.

gotta keep offensive weapons on the floor and right now that’s no one but at least gabe, grill, and kunc have shown to be able to score in bunches.

I’d say Holmes but he’s played like Helen Keller the last few games

Grill isn't an offensive weapon when he can't move and is wearing a back brace the last few min.

 

[madguy30]

I think some of it is he goes in looking for the contact and it looks worse than it is?

Idk man but him driving and throwing it up isn’t it

It's something at least.

He has to be able to dictate the space and against taller more athletic types that's tricky.

 

[enisthemenace]

People bagging on Holmes need to watch the games closer. He’s the only guy who attacks. Everyone else floats to the 3 point line, and NONE of them can shoot worth a ****. The other teams know nobody can shoot, so they collapse on Holmes. He’s tripled by the time he gets to the paint.

What is he supposed to do?

Our offense is trash.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

I like both players and am fine with them playing but Watson and Ward aren't going to fix what is wrong with this team. We need people that can shoot a basketball.

I agree 100%. I'm just addressing the countless number of posts on how this team is drained, tired legs etc.

You add foul trouble, Grill still being injured to that......well, there may not be anything to fix what is wrong with this team.

They have fresh legs and I just know they had minutes back when things were good.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

We need to hit the weights like some of these WV guys. And get some attitudes too. How have they lost 11 conference games.

What are you seeing? I see one really big dude and a couple little douchebags

 

[RezClone]

Gabe was literally on pace for 40. Then picks up a dumb 3rd foul. What's the over under for his 4th. I'll say 17 minute mark.

 

[Cardinal2001]

pick it up cyclone alley

 

[atlantacyclone]

WTF? “Hilton magic can rear it’s ugly head???” What a d bag.

 

[drmwevr08]

bc it’s not based on results of the head to head

it’s based off of resume.

WVU could be a 7 seed imo but they don’t have the wins we have. They are 4-12 in Q1 games. We have double their Q1 wins

And they are better rn. I'd rather be good rn than last month.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

He’s typically out of control which doesn’t help draw a foul.

Out of control or not, if you get bodied or hacked it's a foul

 

[Freebird]

Watching us get schooled by a former hawk while Jess Settles jizzes himself in the broadcast booth isn’t my idea of a great night.

 

[mynameisjonas]

What did I miss why is Jones starting?

 

[cyclonehomer]

CW said he thought Tre didn’t play in the 2nd half because he isn’t an offensive threat. I swear people don’t think anything outside a 3 ptr or a layup is offense. Scoring ugly is better than not scoring.

Absolutely maddening if that's the case. They just cannot be benching him for OFFENSE if Rob sees the court.

 

[xboxfever]

Why the **** is Jones starting the half?

 

[pulse]

Lol how the **** is that not a travel

 

[FerShizzle]

remember at WVU when we got called for 7 fouls in the first 4 minutes? that would be alright it that happened to WVU.

 

[Halincandenza]

Lipsey has to go into the lane with mindset to score.

 

[exCYtable]

Big Rob starting 2nd half over Tre and Shoon. That's..... something.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Wvu has fallen twice with the ball and traveling wasn't called either time
