Calling my shot

[Trueblue25]

Huggins is another legendary coach, and I respect him.

WVU plays a physical, almost football type hard nosed brand of basketball. They remind me of a p5 version of UB. Physical, aggressive and talented. They have the chip on their shoulder. That said they tend to trip over themselves over committing on D and playing overly aggressive.

I think this game’s a toss up, considering WVU’s talent and Huggins’ career vs JB.

I think their impressive guards smother Joe and Buddy, giving them all they can handle. May be a welcome to March moment for Kadary too.

I think selling out smothering our guards will open up room for Alan though.

Think this is the game he randomly reappears and goes unconscious scoring. When he’s on, he’s a draft calibre scorer and rim protector. This is my call for tomorrow. Griff awakens.

They are the best offensively this year than ever. Their defense isn’t quite as good but they will be tough and physical.

I always expect WVU to be solid on O. I think their physicality and aggression will be more impactful on the tale of the tape though. Not sold that Huggins has the zone figured out. Will likely be two defenses battling to build transition.

We need Griffin to show up at some point, for sure.

Huggins career against JB. I don't understand this point? Are you saying that it is to WVU's advantage? Because Jb has dominated Huggy. Or are you saying that WVU is better than us and that Jb evens things out with Huggy as their coach?

I looked at WV’s schedule this morning and was impressed. They have beaten a lot of solid teams. They also played Gonzaga tough and beat a good North Texas squad. Big concern for me is what happens if Buddy gets shut down. Key to this game is going to be Marek. He’s a unique player and will need to alleviate pressure on our guards.

I think you’ve called your shot before every game the last three weeks saying Alan is going to go off. Hope it happens this time.

Im saying that WVU’s very talented but Huggins has not performed vs JB. Therefor the game could go either way.

I hesitate relying on Marek this game, unless Jesse can be a consistent presence (possible). Culver’s impressive.

Very selfless of him to save it for the sweet 16!!
