I had to walk the dog, then read articles and watch interviews, and watch the UH-RU game, so I didn't have time to make a post yesterday.
I don't have much to say. That was a great effort against a legitimate top 10 team. WVU was impressive. They never gave up and made a lot of great plays to get back into the game. It would have been so easy to fall apart after the Mountaineers took the lead and most teams in our position would have, but this team, from tjhe start of the season, has shown a lot of mental toughness and resiliency and they responded very well to adversity.
It is nice they have 6 days to recover from the games this weekend. I am sure there are a lot of bruises, cuts and soreness from all the pounding that went on out there. It seems like Q's knee is getting worse with every game and I hope like hell it holds up for a few more.
Plus, Marek has to recover from eating pizza made in Indianapolis. Some people never do.
Nice to see so many contributing to the team right now. Bras and Kadary both made huge plays down the stretch. Robert had a giant offensive rebound and put back and Kadary somehow got the ball over the halfcourt line and to Buddy, fighting against what seemed like a dozen frantic Eers. Kadary also had a couple huge baskets. JGIII carried the team for a while in the first half and keeps finding a way to pile up a bunch of assists with few turnovers. Our PG tandem presents a lot of problems to opponents and their varied skill sets make adjustments on the go all the more challenging.
In the end, Buddy was not going to let us lose this game. Marek was huge again in so many ways We wondered how we were going to replace Elijah...well, it turned out Marek and Buddy did this together, and we were for the better with those guys filling the 'go to' roles. Even Alan had some good moments. His enthusiastic support for his teammates is good to see. I hope he has one or two more good games in him before this run is over. I believe he does.
For those that want to know more about the Cougars, here is a good article. Their offense and defense are both rated extremely highly. They might have played in a scrub conference but their stats are top notch.
The part about them struggling to defend 3s this season has to be music to Buddy's ears. And JGII and Alan. Maybe even Q. Hope they can get the ball inside some too and get their bigs in foul trouble.
