We ran nice offense in the first 30 minutes. We had several half court dunks on PnR, including 1 ATO, a couple nice Cole lobs for easy tip-ins. Some nice skip passes to wide open shooters. We punished their overplays with penetration a few times. WVU's defense is designed to take you out of your offense by pressuring the facilitators, and I thought Hurley put our guys in the right mindset and spots to capitalize on their defense for much of the game. We got a lot of easy looks compared to the shots that WVU was getting.

But WVU ramped up the D in the last 10 minutes boosted by the home crowd and we started hunting shots for some reason. We also turned the ball over a few times in crazy, frustrating fashion, so I may be attributing some of those to my recollection of the offense, That and a few guys who were open didn't shoot when they needed to and led to some shot clock violations (Akok, Jackson). That's on the players, not the sets.
