Law of averages finally caught up to them.  Made 7 of their first 9 3s of the half, missed 8 of their last 9.

Granted they did run some nice rims cuts as well.  Guessing they won't lean QUITE this heavily into the 3 ball in MVC play.
They lead the country in field goal percentage. Great win

I’ll say this. I think Ohio St will probably win Saturday night, but I don’t think it will be a walk.

The WVU team that earned that 180 ranking isn’t the one that will suit up Saturday night.  WVU will have 3 starters Saturday night that have only played in the last 2 games due to a NCAA suspension and eligibility issues that were resolved with the recent court ruling.

Unfortunately, as soon as they got those 3 they lost their best player this year, Jesse Edwards, to a broken wrist.

Those 3 improve WVU’s offense immensely but the team still can’t guard or rebound to save their life.
 Meh, every once in a while I hit it on the head.  Good game, but gave up way too many offensive rebounds and too many step in 3s.  Fun watch, though.  Ohio St and WVU in Cleveland is a good neutral site game for both teams.

One of the rare neutral site games where the atmosphere was awesome

They've done this before. I went to tOSU/WVU in Cleveland in late December, 2019. Cleveland is close enough to both schools/fanbases that you get a lot of fans of each.

My family is a good example. Back in 2019 my FiL was still around. He played FB at WVU in the 1950's so my wife and I took him and my MiL and our infant son to the game.

As it turned out, it was FiL's last and infant son's first sporting event.

I have no idea what to do with tiers. Illinois was pretty clearly the #2 team in the league but now they are missing a guy who @ELA referred to as "Probably the second best player in the league" and nobody knows when or if he will return.

Wisconsin hosts Iowa tonight. It will be the Badgers' first game since December 22. Should be rested, but will they be rusty?? Iowa last played on December 29.

Keep moving the bold further down the list. Program is a dumpster fire. Losses to McNeese & Long Beach St.  Watching them is nails on a chalkboard.

They were rusty, but when they got past that, UW looked really good last night.
