UC vs WVU pregame thread

BearcatTalk

Help Support BearcatTalk:

Yancy shut down Drummond and Oriakhi, they were non existant....

Does no one have any faith in the big fella??

Jones is a different beast than those 2, KJ can hit the three and drive on you. Much more difficult match up for a Big, but I would like to see Yancy give it a go.
 
WVU has won 4 of it's last 5. For all the talk about Jones and the 3 pointer, he only hits 28% from there. I believe you play back a bit and let him shoot them rather then let him drive and get fouled or get an offensive rebound. Making him a shooter keeps him off the boards. Plus less than a 3rd of his shots are from beyond the arc. Bryant is a little better at 34%. You can't let guys like Hinds and Aaron Brown come in and make them.

Bryant and Kilicli shoot a fair amount of ft's but WVU is a lot like UC in that they only shoot 64% from the charity stripe. They pass the ball well and are 35th in the country in assists.

Defense and rebounding, seems like we always say that, but it's especially true today. Can't allow Kilicli and Jones to get putbacks all day. I'm saying the Bearcats win again 72-64.

Some Huggs quotes:

"They've won close games,'' Huggins said Friday. "They've figured out how to win.''

"I'm sure Mick would say they're better off defensively with two bigs,'' Huggins said. "But they're way better offensively with four guards. I mean, we've been playing three little guys [Truck Bryant, Jabarie Hinds and Gary Browne] because we're way better offensively. You pass the ball better, you handle the ball better.''

"People don't take the ball from them, they don't turn it over, they don't throw it to you,'' Huggins said. "So you don't get those easy baskets. And this game's about getting easy baskets in some form or fashion.''

WVU could punch Jesus in the face and complain about getting in trouble for it. Ive never seen a bunch of cry babies complain this much before.
