Hopefully we are not looking ahead towards Duke and come out with a good effort against a well coached team.

It looks like West Virginia will be making a buyout payment of $10 million so they can be in the Big 12 next year.  So this will be the last time we play WVA in the Big East.

Offensive fouls in the college game have become a joke.

I'm not one that usually complains about fouls, especially when we're clearly the smaller team...but...

Their guy runs across the court to run in front of our guy driving (Garrett) after he shakes his defender, and we get a charge.

Garrett and Moe get hacked on back to back drives and it's not a defensive foul.

Getting very good looks, just not hitting them. Garrett playing very aggressive tonight.

Agree with 04 and boo, in reference to offensive fouls in the college game.

A couple of nice screens by GG and Garrett for the drive and layup by Greene.

We're running circles around Kilicli. Hope we don't get tired as we have the last few games.

 Garret reminds me of Zendon hamilton.  Playing volleyball with layups..

Needs to be aggressive. I like the way he's come out today taking it to the rack.

Can't see the game, only the box score on ESPN "realtime".  Loving that our defense is holding them to 6 pts!!

Don't mind the driving, its the jumpshooting.

 GG, Pointer, and Harkless need to fight for better position. Pointer should fight to receive the ball at the Foul line, not 5 feet beyond.  Same with Gift

Ref's calling way too many offensive fouls, that last one was a block.
