Too bad it wasn't football.What happened to WVU? Didn't see that game. KU and OU looked Final Four ready
I disagree about KU. Kentucky was dominating inside until all of their big guys got into foul trouble. Kentucky has been struggling.
West Virginia had a couple of things happen. I watched as much of each game today as I could, and there was a considerable amount of homer officiating going on. I'd say it was that way in all but the LSU game and the Auburn game. WVU is always in foul trouble, but today was remarkable.
Second, WVU was missing their best big man. He was suspended indefinitely by Huggins. I hope that lasts until after OUr trip to Morgantown. I forget his name, but he averages a double-double.
Third, Florida is a notoriously poor, some would say bad, shooting team from the arc. Today they hit I believe around 60%. It was a nightmare pretty much from the start for the Eers. The key to playing them well is how your half court defense is working. If you play good half court defense, they don't get to set up their press as often.
Florida doesn't press typically, but started that way and hurt WVU a lot with the pressure.
West Virginia made a run to cut an 18 point lead down to five, but after that, the Gators ran away with it. Full gym. It was a solid double digit win. The Gators were as athletic as WVU and thicker. They won the boards, seemingly pretty big. But mostly, it was that they shot lights out from three and they seldom do.
