cut down on the turnovers


this is the thing that concerns me the most. i can see us having 24 turnovers tomorrow night. i'll likely put my face through a brick wall if that happens.

WVU has only played 2 home games against weaker teams.Expect to see a much larger crowd Thursday.

Good luck tomorrow. It'd be a great win for the SEC perception wise.

Agreed. It should be a close game, regardless of WVU fans bullish expectations.

Looking forward to this game. Haven't seen much of LSU, but I expect it to be pretty close all game.

WVU will put on a full court press the entire game, and will try to turn you over for easy baskets. Should be a fast paced game. Also have another player back from injury in Billydee Williams. He hasn't gotten to play in a game this year, but was cleared to go fully just this week.

Should be a good one.

You'll see a good bit of them tomorrow night.

Following the game, you'll also be seeing Tim Quarterman standing over your bed in your nightmares for the following several months.

Huggins has not impressed that last couple years and our attendance has sucked because of it. It's a shame our dumbass previous AD gave him a lifetime contract. It pisses me off that he runs off half the team every year.

In recent years, LSU has been very good beating the press. I could see LSU being even better this year. All 3 of our guards can handle the ball (were all PGs at some point) and our post players have great handles for big guys. Not to mention our athleticism makes us pretty deadly in space.

That could make for a pretty fun game.

Also of note:

Auburn lost to Texas Tech last night 46-44. Auburn had a lead in the last minute, but Tech came up with two straight buckets to get the win.

+8.5

I don't think I could touch this one. I think LSU keeps it close, but I'm worried the press really tires us out by the end of the game.

If LSU escapes with a win tonight it will be all heart, cause our depthless team is going to have to run all over the place in this one.

I was expecting them to fill up their 14k stadium. Instead they have hovered between 7k and 8k sold so it should look like LSU does.


Usually no one goes until football is over. Once the new year hits then conference play 12K is usually the avg. Mid week games depend alot on the locals. The Morgantown metro area isn't that big.

My first few years back in 03 we would never pack unless a big time Big East team came. Then around 05 we started balling. Huggins first year was my last year at WVU and by then it was packed almost every game.

The fans are also sick of Huggins running off half the team every year, and then openly saying the players suck in the press conferences. Yet, he recruits them but continues to make excuses because he can't develop them because they don't listen to him and his band of coaching misfits.


Look at the coaches on our bench, it looks like the cast of the Sopranos. Time for some fresh blood on the coaching staff.

Yea LSU is pretty much the same way. Don't necessarily pack it during SEC play, but we will double or more in fans when Spring semester starts. That's right after football ends and SEC play starts.
