West Virginia defeat to Kansas

Morgantown, West Virginia – West Virginia Mountaineers beaten early, down 22-4 after ten minutes into play and never looking to come from the hole, lost 87-63 to top seeded Kansas Jayhawks in round 2 of the Big 12 Conference Tournament .

The referee was bad, but that’s not why West Virginia lost.

Bob Huggins is right, the referee is bad and understands one-sidedness to start the game, but a bad referee has nothing to do with today’s loss. Kansas is a really good team. The differences in athleticism and talent between Kansas and Mountaineers are no longer true.

But talent and athleticism aren’t the only things that make Kansas so much better than West Virginia. They understand how to win games and mountaineers don’t understand this season. West Virginia could play its best game and Kansas its worst, and Kansas could still get the move to win.

This is the most disliked Mountaineers basketball team in a long time.

Throughout this long, harrowing and disappointing season, it was perhaps the least exciting team to watch in a really long time in West Virginia. While Gabe Osabuohien and Pauly Paulicap occasionally showcase the stimulus and stimulus that Bob Huggins’ team has, {some|most|more than one} player on the team is quite difficult to deploy.

West Virginia may not be able to play again this year this

West Virginia might be invited to play in the CBI (College Basketball Invitational), the third-best postseason tournament in college basketball, but Bob Huggins probably doesn’t want to prolong this miserable season again.

Not worthy of th. 2019, as Huggins brought his young and stimulating team to CBI, seizing a veterans group didn’t really add much to the future of the basketball program.

Bob Huggins has a lot of work to do.

This has been one of the most important offseasons for Bob Huggins since arriving at Morgantown. Almost all of his top scorers and rebounders left. Taz Sherman, Gabe Osabuohien, Malik Curry, Pauly Paulicap and Dimon Carrigan are all missing. Sean McNeil could potentially return for another season, but he recently stated that he wasn’t sure if that was something he wanted to do. On top of that, Jalen Bridges looks downright unhappy at the end of the season and it can’t be a surprise unless he counts on a move.

Huggins could possibly bring back Kedrian Johnson (who might return), Seth Wilson, James Okonkwo, Isaiah Cottrell, Jamel King and Kobe Johnson along with a bunch of freshmen and players from the transfer portal. At best, add Jalen Bridges and Sean McNeil to that list, and it’s still a total let down.

Bob Huggins has a lot of work to do to fix it.
