Postgame thoughts... WVU (NCAAT)

We were dogs .. we couldn’t shave .. unless someone was in on a live bet scheme
I don’t know or understand anything about that scene. Just joking, and mocking the implication that the NCAA ‘hates JB’ and would contrive a way to railroad him some more.
 
I don’t disagree—if you can get it to him. But he isn’t actually ‘flashing and slashing‘ with any kind of burst to get open.
Every time the ball is taken out and he’s being pressured which happened a lot this game with McBride covering him he got to the ball, I think he just has a laid back way of going about it not that he’s not quick
 
Underrated play that I haven’t seen get any mention yet... when Braswell got trapped in the corner with 28 seconds to play and no timeouts remaining, he basically allowed WVa to tie him up for a held ball - because he knew we had the possession arrow!

In the moment that it happened, I started screaming, because I thought he had called a timeout that we didn’t have... I saw him pointing towards our bench, and I was convinced that he had just saddled us with a technical foul. But, no - super smart play by Bras that allowed us to retain possession (and finally get Kadary in the game... don’t even get me started on what was going on there...)

Orange, baby!!!

I thought the exact same thing!
 
What a win! Foul - prone Marek picked a bad time to show up, but he did an exceptional job avoiding the 5th. Rutgers did a poor job of taking advantage.
Love these players. Survive and advance.
lol Rutgers? A little ahead of us there bro.

If only SU did this vs Arkansas in 95 ... we HAD the possession arrow !!

I'm torn - would like another shot at Rutgers, but we might match up better with the Cougars
It's OK to have an opposing opinion unless the opinion is stupid like, you were a Rutgers fan, then I would have to call the authorities in white coats and special jackets. And I will not complain if JB gets to launch this team on Rutgers. Go Orange.
 
SU did a great job shutting down Culver. 2-9, 7 points, 3 rebounds. WV made a huge mistake not going after Dolezaj and his 4 fouls. Thank you. Buddy’s 2nd half was incredible. I think he was 1-6 in the 1st half, 1-5 from 3. And let’s not knock Joe. 12 points on 4-8 shooting, all from 3. 6 rebounds, 7 assists. I thought Griffin was going to have a big game after hitting his first 3. Hard to explain his lack of production lately. Solid game from all others but we sure made it difficult coming down the stretch.
 
To me, even though he missed the FT to ice it, Buddy still won us the game by jumping the rebounder and forcing the TO. It was like a lightning reflex. Super impressive.
I thought we were going to foul the guy and make him shoot a 1 and 1 so they couldn't shoot a tying three but instead they surprised him with the trap and thus a travel. It was a brilliant end to a crazy 54 seconds.
