How the hell did we lose to this team in Morgantown. 

[AbeFroman 2020]

I did that once, gashed my head open on the rim.  It was on an 8 ft goal at the playground, but I wore that scar proud.

I like the cute blonde manager/trainer. She's been the best part of a few games this year.

Rules.

[texastroubadour 1203]

How the fuck did we lose to these hillbillies?

[shadow_operative 15931]

the no.1 play on sports sportscenter tonight should just be our 1H highlight reel.

i am out on believing that this team will be anything but a disappointment.

You have been out on this coaching staff all year. That play was just confirmation bias.  

I've also been disappointed by this team, but still have hope that they can go on a run if they make the tourney.

No dude, you're "out on this team".  Stop following them.  Be a man of your word for once in your life.

[HookEm 2432]

Now Abmas is just clowning on them.

hey by all means keep obsessing over this while our team puts on a highlight reel. you’re so not upset! lol

[NorthLoop 13907]

Is a 25 pt halftime lead good? ..... that's good right?

[Horn80 5978]

Ambas record not same since Oscar Robinson and Bird didn’t play 5 years.

Can we save meltdowns for games where we are losing instead of one of the few very good halves we have played lately?

This game is awesome!  It's too bad you're not a fan of the team.

Sweatergawd if we have another slow start….

I’ll take it

[shadow_operative 15931]

nah seriously, i don’t remember the last time we played a half like that. i’m guessing somewhere between 2009-2011. that was an unbelievable half of highlight reel basketball.

[jimmyjazz 45055]

I want to see how RT approaches this second half.  This team needs to believe in itself and believe in effort.  I hope we don't take the air out of the ball.

[shadow_operative 15931]

what a start to the half. our guys are in the mood today. pun intended. 

Edited February 10 by shadow_operative

[HookEm 2432]

this is an important half of basketball.  Can RT motivate them to step on their necks? Or will we settle for jacking up 3s and stop doing the dirty work?

[shadow_operative 15931]

that’s such an easy call, what is the coach so incensed about?

[ClubWhatever 12066]

That was a block.

the opening few possessions we’ve played within the offense but we’ve played fast and aggressive. it’s been a good start despite a couple of wvu blocks.

the abmas play? no. that’s what they used to call a player control foul (not sure why they never say that anymore). he bowled him over like earl campbell. left his feet and bowed him in the chest with his forearm. doesn’t matter if abmas was sliding.

[GreenspointTexas 9353]

That wasnt a charge

[shadow_operative 15931]

we’re missing a bunch of shots but i think we need to play fast like this more often. i love when we play at pace like this.

[Hookem2147 20811]

This is the final one?   

We are partying today

Good god now they're doing a Statler & Waldorf routine.

Hey, he made a running jumper in the first half.

[Hookem2147 20811]

Abmas is the best pure shooter we’ve had since J’Covan Brown and I could probably be convinced he is better than Brown.

[AbeFroman 2020]

He shoots 3's and his number is 3.  Crazy!

[shadow_operative 15931]

really nice pass abmas.

[shadow_operative 15931]

this game has been badass.

[Knoxtnhorn 5906]

Boobs.

Abmas shoots a better percent from 3 over his whole career than J'Covan did in his BEST year... on DOUBLE  the attempts.  And he is a better free throw shooter.  And he is more efficient from 2. 

J'Covan could use his strength to get buckets in a way Abmas can't though.

Abmas is probably the best pure shooter we have ever had. 

[ClubWhatever 12066]

This team does well when the other team's defense is shit and they can't shoot.

Joey Wright could light it up from 3, though.

[Rockethorn1978 6059]

Hopefully this turns into a game they use to finish the season strong

jim krivacs is the best pure shooter we’ve ever had, but abmas very well might be next. he is amazing. 

eta: again, i can’t stop marveling at his efficiency on catch-and-shoot threes. aj abrams is the best three point shooter in league history and abmas might be even better.

A killer remainder of season though

i don’t think i’ll ever get used to watching dillon mitchell jump off his left foot as he dunks with his left hand.

[HookEm 2432]

Should we be concerned that Chris Johnson isn't playing?

He was out Tuesday with wisdom teeth surgery. May not be cleared yet.

Nice blowout win on a day where a loss would have been devastating. Now comes the hard part…
