15-2 in WV games. You can check my threads. I've done several long writeups on these games. You can go back and read them,I may not have time for one tomorrow. No need to print the stats here, they indicate a team that is playing poorly, especially in Conference play where they remain winless.
WV remains in disarray. Huggins started another different lineup at TCU. That's 11 different starting lineups and 12 different starters so far.
If you are still juggling your lineup at this point of the season it's a clear indication you have serious issues.
WV's poor play at the guard positions remains unsolved. Huggy Bear burnt freshman guard Trey Doomes redshirt last Saturday against OK St in game 15 looking for an answer. The same day he benched starters Esa Ahmad and Wesley Harris and they didn't get off the pine. Their assist to turnover ratio is abysmal. They do not shoot the deep ball well at all and miss critical free throws.
WV continues to go thru long dry spells without scoring. It has been a persistent problem all season.
I will point out Kansas has lost 4 of their last 6 in Morgantown. WV has always been a dangerous home dog against ranked teams in past years as the Coliseum can be a tough venue for visiting teams. I've been on that recipe many times. But I don't think that's the case this year. Press Virginia no longer exists due to a lack of athleticism, and in fact they rarely press at all now. The only game they pressed with any success at all was against Pitt in the Backyard Brawl, the su win over the Panthers is their best win of the season.(Pitt covered the 11.5 though, a big play for me).They may not win a Big 12 game if their present level of play does not improve.
I had a 5* play on OKSt +6.5 and +7 last Saturday at the Coliseum.The Cowboys led box to wire and won outright by 8.
I made another 5*'s with TCU 1st H and FG Tuesday night when the Frogs blew the Mountaineers clear out of Schollmaier Arena. It was never a game, TCU led by 20 at the half.
I don't believe in locks so this is not a 100% play. We all know such critters do not exist. It's a gamble every time you play. But it will take WV playing their best game of the year so far and Kansas playing a sub-par C- minus game for the Mountaineers to get the candy here imo. That's certainly possible but I don't think it is very probable.
This may be the last chance for a big play against WV. The public has finally caught on and the BM is steadily raising the price now. WV goes from a 7 point dog at TCU to now getting 5.5 at home. Maybe it's to late now. Could be time to fade my azz. I'm willing to pay to find out. We shall soon see.
I keep saying this and hopefully I get to keep saying it. I am going to keep playing against WV until I get my azz burnt real good. Lay it.
5* Jayhawks -5.5 @ WV
3* Michigan -2 @ Wiscy
