Big game. I think this is a game we may learn more about Buzz. Huggie is a good coach and always seems to throw a wrinkle in for games against us (like the Triangle and 2 last year). What are the thoughts about the game?
WVU is the 8th tallest team in the nation with the #2 adjusted defense. We will see zone to limit our guards. We cannot get into foul trouble and we have to hit the three. WVU fouls a lot, and we are #8 in FT rate. So, getting to the line against the zone is critical. Hard to believe we only have a 29% chance of winning at home--but we don't match up well on paper. My pick to click is Mo as the zone breaker and the back line on the 1-3-1 zone trap Buzz throws at Huggie. MU will need the crowd.
