We've given up 40 pts in the 1st half. WVU hasn't hit 80 on the road once this year - 3 times fewer than 60. It has to start with defense - and getting a couple of rebounds along the way.

@betterfireE If we play like this, is there anyone who is a good match-up?
So, will all the posts on Bad Ball - is this Badder Ball?????
Who is going to score with this 5?????
This is eerily similar to the first half of the ISU-OU game last night. Let's pray that we can gin up a 21-0 run in the 2nd half!
@Shanghai_RCJH And the score....
@Bwag You are right - and Mason needs to learn to drop off to a trailer.
Why oh why does Self have Selden handles in-bounds plays. 4 official TOs already (5 actually) and 2 on in-bounds plays.
@Shanghai_RCJH Throw in getting killed on the board - 17-6
Terrible inbounds by Selden and bad pass by Graham - blocking call bailed us out.
6 points in 8 minutes - ouch
It looks like all of the guys had a few nips of Woodford before the game. Embarrassing start on senior night. No energy. WVU without Staten and we allow an 11-0 run.
@DCHawker Sorry autocorrect problem - needless to say, Selden....
Seedless needs to get his head in the game.
Give the guys credit - gritty down the stretch. But, making an usually high % of FTs were critical.
No 3s!!!
@DCHawker Aargh..
Don't run the clock all the way down and take a lousy shot. Spread the floor and let Oubre take it to the rim.
Texas has at least 10 points directly on out of bounds plays
Never mind
Scary to have Selden in there down - every time he touches it I think it's going to be a TO
Okay, we don't need to throwing it into Landon right now...
Every possession should be Ellis or Oubre going strong to the rim
Pretty remarkable that our 4 point lead is the largest we've had all game. Let's see if the guys can finish strong and close this one out.
@truehawk93 Well, is KO the answer?
We have 14 friggin FGs - 10 from Mason and Ellis. Is anyone else going to step up?
@truehawk93 We're 4-16 this half - that isn't going to win many games.
We don't seem to have a clue how to play defense - just count on them missing shots
@truehawk93 Good thing - otherwise this could be a blowout
WTF - way to easy for Taylor to get to the rim
@Hawk8086 To get runs, you first need to get stops - and, ideally some easy breakaway baskets.
@DoubleDD Almost exactly the same fun as the past few games...
Didn't really think we could shoot worse than in the 1st half, but 2-8 on 2s and 0-2 on 3s
@truehawk93 At this point, I'd rather see Svi get some of his minutes - although as I'm typing he just made bucket
Texas is hustling more - winning more of the 50-50 balls
@KUSTEVE Well, we usually have one good half in us...
@BeddieKU23 It appears that Ellis, Oubre and Mason are the only ones that have come ready to play.
@KUSTEVE Understood - that does assume we win this game. Not feeling that is a slam-dunk at this point!
We're 10-30 from the floor and 0-5 from 3, but only down 3. On the other hand, we only have 3 turnovers and are 11-14 from the line and are down 3.
@nwhawkfan May well mean that the last game against OU is for the title
Really bad last two minutes
KSU - ISU tied with a minute to go
Agree - mean streak, attitude, something. He can't get into the paint almost anytime. Still not really skilled at finishing, but he can get to the foul line.
Gotta like Oubre's aggressiveness
We need to mix it up and play some zone - stop Taylor's penetration - make them hit outside shots
Mason isn't going to have any legs by the end of this game.
Selden is completely clueless every time he drives to the rim - always has been - hard to figure.
@DoubleDD Really bad pass by BG - Mason already under the basket
@truehawk93 Especially with this 5
@BeddieKU23 5 points in 5 minutes sure ain't pretty...
