Texas (13-10, 5-5) @ Last-Place Hilljacks (10-13, 2-8): 7pm CST on ESPN2

[BringBackRoyal]

The couchburners are terrible this year (worst in the Big 12 in both offensive and defensive efficiency), but Texas is terrible on the road (1-5), with a single win coming against a KSU team missing its two best players.

WVU has the worst 2PT% defense in the conference, and, believe it or not, Texas has the best 2PT% offense. WVU commits a ton of fouls, and Texas actually shoots FTs very well (but doesn’t draw enough fouls). Which means there’s roughly a 65% chance that we’ll spend most of the night chucking up sh*tty threes at the end of the shot clock instead of pounding the ball inside.

Should be fun.

And it’s a night game, which allows the crowd to drink their home brew all day and fool around with their sister.
Could make for an interesting atmosphere.

 

[Oldmanastro]

Roach off to hot start, then commits 2 quick silly fouls.

 

[BringBackRoyal]

Hayes has two as well. We’re not even six minutes into the game. JFC.

Currently on pace to have 60 fouls called in this goddamned game.

 

[westx]

Not too bad so far, other than Hamm having two moving screen violations in a row. . I hope they keep driving to the basket and being physical.

 

[clob94]

Is it just me or do all the west Virginia kids in the crowd look the same?

 

[westx]

WTH, refs.

 

[westx]

They are all related

 

[outhereincali]

Well I see that were up 48/35 six minutes into the second half. I'm desperate to find anything, anything positive.

 

[BringBackRoyal]

Texas opens the second half on a 17-7 run and now has its largest lead of the game. Up 51-35 with 13:47 to play.

Make that 58-35 with 11:30 to play. Ramey is 5-6 from three tonight.

 

[Oldmanastro]

And Ramey had a monster alley oops dunk!

 

[bschroed21]

So what’s the latest with Andrew Jones? Is he still improving and getting stronger or have there been some setbacks? Is he still having to go through some treatment?

I remember seeing him in the box score early in the season against a weak opponent, but have not seen his name pop up in a stat line since then.

 

[Oldmanastro]

3 possessions 3 alley oops dunks in a row.

 

[outhereincali]

I don't care how bad WV is for once were shooting the ball well.

 

[westx]

I am surprised we are doing pick and roll as much as we have tonight. It has been there all season.

Yep!

 

[Oldmanastro]

Nice win. Looked better tonight.
