That bothers the hell out of me every play when there is even the slightest pressure.

Too early.

I'm actually not nearly as worried about full court pressure. Foster, Westicles, Edwards, etc. can all come help and will handle the ball some. The majority of our TOs come in half court offense when our guys (especially Thomas) try to force things that aren't there. Once you get past WVU's pressure you are going to get good shots, get offensive boards, and get to the FT line (a lot). Besides TO%, their defensive numbers in eFG%, OR%, and FT rate are all at the bottom of the league.

Our guards love to catch in and pass it to the corners. The others like to walk up the court without any cognition of what's going on behind them.

Hopefully, because they know wvu intends to do this, it won't be as bid of a problem.

Per _FAN's Big 12 statsheet if the Cats can keep from turning it over all the time

, they should be able to shoot lights out against WVU.

Guys, here is the plan: TCU the crap out of them the don't fold like losers at the end. They literally have no way to combat that. I mean, did you see TCU almost beat them and Huggs only pulled it out because he got the refs to homefield the faces off TCU at the end? Fouled basically all of TCU out in the first min of overtime.

Can't leave this to the ref s (even though they will be on our side like always, lol). Huggs has some new jedi mind trick where he doesn't rip faces off, he calmly disagrees with the ref and moves on. Completely mind mumped the refs at the end of the TCU game.

Physicality, tho. Coal aggie is a Huggs team, and they will push us around a lot inside.

pissclams · « **Reply #42 on:** January 26, 2015, 09:31:01 AM »

like all things west virginia, huggins is a washed up booze hound. his team is a reflection of that. they may hang around in the first half but over the unwavering scent of tepid whiskey, i smell a 68-58 win for the KATS college of wildcat

Turnovers are the key to WVU's defense. I ran the numbers in Big 12 play on defensive possessions that do not include TOs and WVU is the worst defense in the league, giving up a whopping 1.36 points per possession when they don't turn you over. Granted, when you turn over opponents on nearly 1/3 of their possessions you can live with that. Also, how the officials call the game will be a big factor because a big part of Hugg's defense is to be physical to the point where you force officials to make calls. If they don't make contact calls we could be in trouble, but if they do make calls we will shoot 40 free throws and the game will be 3 hours long. IMO, they are less likely to get calls playing this style on the road and I think it will make it tough for them to win in Manhattan (and most other Big 12 road games).

Non turnover defensive points per possession.
Team   PPP
West Virginia   1.36
Texas Tech   1.33
Baylor   1.26
TCU   1.25
Kansas State   1.24
Iowa State   1.24
Oklahoma   1.20
Oklahoma State   1.19
Kansas   1.17
Texas   1.14
