    Caleb Grill has been dismissed from team

    Eli won't play. For years now, only the best 6 play meaningful minutes. Bench talent never gets a chance to develop.

    Maybe we could develop the talent we have.

    *** Official West Virginia vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Johnny didn't "step down". and he wasn't fired. The administration just told him he wasn't going to be the head coach any more. That must have been really tough on him, being treated that way.

    Why do we refuse to fast break

    It's like the team is saying "Hey, watch us whip the ball around the outside ! Aren't we snazzy ? " Meanwhile, Osun is actually trying to post up, and they miss the fact he is open. Or, he is part of the outside passing game, which makes no sense.

    Caleb Grill has been dismissed from team

    I was wrong about Caleb this time. He was defending a teammate. He didn't deserve a T. However, after watching the game again........having Robert and Osun use extreme pressure on the ball-handler (generally someone smaller) 20 FEET from the bucket is bad coaching and just flat-out stupid...

    *** Official West Virginia vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Caleb has one more year ? Which of the talented newcomers sits because of him? We had opportunity to get fouled on drives to the hoop. But, 3's get you to the NBA.

    When a player is coached to act that way, this is what happens.

    Made this post elsewhere but I hope TJ learned 2 things from this year

    The reserves that aren't playing much this year won't be playing next year either.

    Iowa State OU postgame video

    With past teams, the clones could rest on offense. One driver to the hoop with 4 guys getting ready to shoot a 3. Not the case this year. Everyone is involved on offense, quickly passing the ball around the perimeter. I'm not sure that passing game gets anything done, except tire the...

    Fundamentally Inept Right Now

    For sure Robert should not be pressuring anyone more than 15 feet from the bucket. That is the plan from TJ, but Robert just can't do it.

    "Work harder" is sounding a lot like "win in the margins".

    Are we even a tournament team?

    If the team is a 7, the hope is that Hampton is not a 10.. Seriously, college basketball is BAD this year. Part of the reason is NIL and the portal. Teams don't play together for any time at all. For example, who will return next year for the clones ? A brand new team. AGAIN.

    Fundamentally Inept Right Now

    The interviews after basketball are similar to football. Can anyone stand up and say the team is not very good? And i said it before. If Bob is better than Tre, then Tre isn't very good.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    This has got to be a simulation. We lose, the squawks win. Mom and Dad are on vacation. Who will cook for me ? My life is over.

    Big 12 Conference Realignment

    Life in the Big 12 will be tougher in the future with the addition of the 4 and OU / UT leaving. The 4 new teams all have something that Oklahoma and Texas always had a shortage of.

    Hason Ward

    You would think his ability to foul would get him more minutes -- similar to Caleb (hack), Jaz (hack and grab), and Jaren (kick with the thighs). Maybe he doesn't have his hands in the air enough to prove he isn't fouling.
