West Virginia @ Texas (12) - 1/28/19

[BigBird]

WVA 61 Texas 55 @ 1:50 in the 4th...

 

[BigBird]

WVA with no players to spare ... dressed 8; 2 have fouled out.

 

[Plebe]

Two WVU players fouled out with over 4 min left.
Nobody on Texas in serious foul trouble.
Can WVU hold on?

White picked up her 4th a minute ago. Still on bench.

Edit: she just came back in.

He went to great lengths not to play Jordan, even playing Ekhelar with 4 fouls late in 3Q. But she hit a huge 3 after she replaced a fouled out Niblack in 4Q.

 

[BigBird]

Shug Sutton hits a great shot to keep it at 4; time out. If WVA wins, it will be quite a courageous effort. Talk about your “back to the wall” situation.

 

[biobioprof]

wow. that blown layup.

 

[BigBird]

WVA by 4 and headed to the line... 50 sec left.

 

[Plebe]

wow. that blown layup.

Ha now we see why she’s last off the bench.

 

[BigBird]

Both teams look like they have never played basketball right now

 

[Bear11]

This may be the worst played minute of basketball I've seen.

 

[UCBaller2012]

WV blown wide open layup, TX blown wide open layup, Wv sloppy turnover, TX sloppier tu

I’m not sure whether this is a test of perseverance or a test of which teams screws up the most.

 

[biobioprof]

Why was Texas so slow to foul there?

 

[Plebe]

Time to dial up the Reggie Miller 6 point play.

 

[Plebe]

Why was Texas so slow to foul there?

Trying to remain in the theme of inexplicably screwing up?

Go back and watch last year’s Tennessee-Texas game in Knoxville. There were probably at least 10 distinct minutes in that game that were as ugly as this one.

 

[Shades]

Another upset.

64-58 WVU final

Martin 27 pts, 5 reb, 2 stl

Did you post this before or after the teams exchanged turnovers in the last 5 seconds? What a perfect finish to sum up that game.

 

[BigBird]

Texas had WVU at such disadvantage, yet they stopped moving the ball into the post where their greatest of all their advantages was to be found. You’ve got Holmes, Collier, etc., but stopped getting them touches in the last three minutes. Talk about shot selection. When the coach is yelling “no” on your shot release, it might be an ill-considered launching.

After. That game last year was the most Keystone Cops display I have ever seen.

All the messiness aside, that was a big win for WV. They’ve been hovering on the outskirts of the bubble for a while now and this win helps their tournament chances a ton.

As for Texas, I feel like they’ll do well to avoid the dreaded 8/9 game in the first round.

Or maybe I oughta just quit going to their games. The only 3 games I’ve seen in person are the only 3 home games they’ve lost...

If I buy your ticket will you go the Baylor game next week?

Ha, seriously? Of course I will.

I was just thinking, when one of the TX players made the requisite appeal to the crowd to come back for the Baylor game: "Baylor is gonna mop the floor with this team. Mulkey must be licking her chops."

WV blown wide open layup, TX blown wide open layup, Wv sloppy turnover, TX sloppier tu

UC called it....hard to imagine:
-a long pass to a wide open Mountaineer and she misses the bunny to put the game on ice...totally uncontested.
-The ball went down to the other side and Texas reciprocated.

-On the next series they exchanged turnovers in a like manner.

-Missed foul shots / terrible play calling/ not fouling when called for.

Although there was some amusement in which team would succeed in handing the game to its opponents, it was a pretty pitiful display.

And I'll buy his supper.
