Title: West Virginia Pre-Game
Post by: VanderBlueFanClub on November 19, 2021, 10:51:18 AM

I am worried mainly for the press and how we will handle it. We had a nice preview with Ole Miss's half-court press and double team. Hopefully Kolek will step up and have a nice assist game along with Darryl.

Super tough test for us.  West Virginia gets a lot of steals and blocks shots.  We haven't faced a team that pressures like them.  We're going to have to play disciplined basketball and match their toughness.  Use the shot fake and play with force in the paint.  Also, take rhythm triples and not launch early in the shot clock.  Kolek must play well in this one.
