I thought Carey was pretty funny, but I do think he’s tough on them, which is kind of his job (unless you’re a female coach, then you best not be tough on them
).
They have played 3 games in 8 days and 4 games in 11 games. Then they have to play Baylor 3 days after. It’s been a tough stretch for them, and if you have nagging injuries, it can be difficult for them to heal without a break. Carey said the whole team is “banged up”. Gondrezick has a hammy strain, Martin has a foot issue. Carey’s view is “just go out there and play”. Well, that may be easier said then done.
I watched the game, and above the injury and lack of rest issues, it just seemed like one of those nights where the shots (except FT’s) weren’t falling. I wouldn’t bet the farm on WVU staying as bad as they were in this game.
