I think it’s Michigan v Kansas.
I just think Kansas’s talent + size beats Nova.
Between the two, I give Michigan a slight edge. Just not sure how Kansas will deal with Belein’s offense. But maybe that’s wishful thinking. But if they are hitting from outside...

All you guys who rag on Huggs and think he’s a poor coach, you are just plain wrong.

I agree. Hugs is a future HOF coach and he has us in the national spotlight every year. He has us in the tourney almost every year, and anybody who gets into the field of 64 has a chance to win it all. This year, I am pretty darn sure that I was able to watch every WVU BB game on national TV here in SC. That is something that I do not recall ever happening before.
My only regret about him is that he is in his mid-60's and who knows how much longer he will be coaching. It takes a heck of a lot of searching and just plain blind luck to find a young up and comer to take the place of a guy like him. Frankly, we have been spoiled. The good news is, we apparently have him for at least another couple of years.

Not that we’re having this conversation right now, but Huggs has put us in a position that when he hangs it up, we will be able to attract just about anyone we want, within reason. I think he goes 2 more years, 3 maybe. I think the two leading contenders to replace him (though I would like to see them be HC in D1, even low-major) would be Patty B or Darris Nichols

I'm trying to figure out how 2 turnovers and 2 fouls can possibly cancel 18 points and 10 rebounds? Why are you complaining about him? He had a double double.

West had 5 and Ahmad had 0 against UK when we lost to them in meltdown fashion. In the most recent loss to KU in the Big12Tourney, they combined for 0 points. If we are going to beat those teams we need those guys to step up. Its one thing to flex your muscles at Marshall, but Nova wont be so easy. We need those guys to be productive on O in the big games against top level teams.

Nova is going to have it hands full with us regardless. I looked at their schedule and I dont think they would be a 30 win team in the big 12. No effing way they would.

Several here have complained about Lamont West; bad attitude, etc. Last night his stats read: 18 points, 10 rebounds, 60% FG (6-10) and 43% 3PT (3-7). His extended playing time due to the unfortunate injury to Harris. I would say the young man stepped up when called upon; stop complaining.

The 3 turnovers on the stat line are very understated. He gave it up MUCH more than that. Say what you will, but he was easily the sloppiest player on the team and easily cancelled out every point he scored. Hey, we need that stat....net points. Where's Talk when you need him?

Per ESPN; http://www.espn.com/mens-college-bask ... boxscore?gameId=401025865

He only had 2 turnovers but he also had 1 blocked shot so... I thought he played a good game considering the injury forced him into more action than he usually gets.

we need to start using clock. IF they do start hitting 3s, we can cool them down with the pacing.
