Thought about switching my pick to Clemson after they won. Never got around to it. Oh well. WVU has a second half run, just a question of if it will be enough.

This ODU is a very good and active. Really quick to recover, and they actually rebound tremendously out of it.

#24 and #45 for Clemson are long and active inside, going to cause WVU fits all day

The only way WVU gets a board is if Clemson knocks it out of bounds. this is pathetic.

If clemson wins just adds more fire to VT getting denied and ACC getting the shaft. Lets hope WVU can beat them and put it to rest.

Agreed, though UAB-Clemson really settled it. VT did deserve it lol.

WVU is 27-0 under Huggins when shooting better than 50 percent

they're at 53 percent

they've won 42 of 46 under Huggins when the opponent scores 69 or less

giving up 40 at the half is definitely the glaring issue, they'll have to come back with a tougher defensive effort, Huggins I'm sure will whip em at halftime

They will be tougher defensively, but its really the boards that are killing them.

any chance a mod could lock individual game threads so we don't have a clusterfuck on here later today?

These are 2 great games to start out. Clemson has missed a ton of easy shots/layups, they should have over 50. I don't think WVU can hang with them.

I tried to start the (waves) of games so we have 4 threads going today, for 4 games each. I dont know if it will work, but it was a good idea in theory. Right now we seem to have everyone on here.

I agree though, last year sucked having to switch to different threads to talk about the games.

Either way, I think Pitt is in for a battle in the second round.

WVU starting to crash the boards much better. Its led to this run they are on. Both offensively and defensively.

Deniz Kilicli has 8

WVU found an extra source of offensive there, actually when they went on that 9-0 run he made a couple baskets to start it

WVU really picked it up defensively, getting in their face

but it's leading to many fouls early in the second half
