From the WV Scout:

"At the end of the game, Huggins shot a couple of icy stares in the direction of first-year MU head coach Buzz Williams as the Golden Eagle starters continued to bomb away with the game well in hand. Senior guard Dominic James drained a 3 with 25 seconds to play.

“At the end, they were having fun. They were having a lot of fun. They’ll have a lot of fun the next time we play them,” said an obviously-perturbed Huggins. "

Huggy bear dishing out threats after a huge loss? You stay classy, West Virginia!

there was a point with about a minute and a half left where we had the ball and Buzz was signaling to space it out and just keep the ball outside. When they had an open look with the shot clock winding down they'd jack up a shot and knock it down. I don't see the problem in that. There was one possession i remember late where we took a shot early in the shot clock. I looked at Buzz and he looked a little like, ok guys, we can just keep possession. But w/e. It's a BEAST game and I'm sure Thuggy Bear has never done the same.

I don't know about you but it feels good to have Huggy Bear pissed at MU again. He bent over and took it this year and we may next year, but I'll be damned if we won't enjoy the present circumstances.

I think if there had been a stop in the action over the last 2 min, Buzz would have yanked DJ and Jerel with bench warmers .. but the action never stopped. DJ did put up a 3 that wasn't necessary .. but that's the only possession I'd say was over the top.

+1

and when did "Thuggins" become the Mother Teresa of college B-ball that everyone must respect and not embarrass?

Buzz also deserves kudos from learning from the Rutgers game. When we were up by 20 he brought in Acker et. al and Rutgers got right back in it. Was he suppose to repeat that mistake?

Finally, what's wrong with rubbing Thuggins nose in it with DeShonte Riley sitting at the end of the bench?

I said the same thing to my son....when DJ took that 3 pointer, Huggins looked really pissed off. He was already angry after the T but DJ probably could have avoided taking that 3.

I agree. Huggybear dishing out threats is uncalled for. Next time we have a big lead on West Virginia we will make sure we get shot clock violations on our last few possessions so that we don't irate the WARDEN.

wardle2wade · « **Reply #7 on:** January 10, 2009, 04:10:51 PM »

Let me understand... With the shot clock winding down in the last minute, James launched a 3 and hit it. According to Huggins, what should he have done? Drive to the hole and risk an undercut by a classy WV wingman? Let it run out and take an undeserved turnover?

A new phrase is coined today... WWHD.

What would Huggins do.

Stay classy, Morgantown!

Brewtown Andy · « **Reply #8 on:** January 10, 2009, 04:24:30 PM »

Somebody should tell Huggy to look at the score chart that ESPN.com puts up with their recaps. From the point when Butler fouls out, MU's line goes up at about a 45 degree angle while WVU's virtually flatlines.

I've seen teams come back from 20 down with 25 seconds, good shot DJ

With threats from this board if he took out the big three... he left them in to make sure we win by double digits

Sure it is.

For those of us that went to MU when I did, do you remember the 13 point possession against Evansville. I'm serious...look it up.

Multiple technical fouls, three pointers, etc...MU scored 13 points in a row before Evansville even took possession of the ball. It was crazy. If I remember it was a 3 pointer in which we were fouled, got the extra free throw, double technicals called...4 more points, ball out of bounds to MU, hit another three pointer, technical foul.....something to that extent.

I have no problem with the 3 DJ took at the end of the game (and I'm someone who gets royally pissed with teams with comfortable/big leads that shoot with the shot clock off). The shot clock was NOT off, should DJ hold the ball and take the violation? In my opinion, that rubs it in even more.

If the shot clock is going, play ball. Don't like it? Stop him. It's not like MU ran an alley-oop play and slapped the backboard.

TallTitan34 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 10, 2009, 05:51:57 PM »

If anyone can get the video or transcript of his postgame press conference you should check it out.

At one point a reporter asked Huggy Bear if he thought the game was reffed differently in the second half. Huggins said, "are you trying to get me in trouble? I get in enough trouble. I'd comment but I can't."

next time Mu fans want to bitch about officiating or Jim Burr just pop in the 1/10/2009 WvU game tape and you will feel instantly better about Jim Burr and officiating in general. Not saying it was a bad agame but I dont seem to rememebr a single questionable call going a against us. the even called a tech against WVU for 6 players when they only had 5 on the court!

Any Huggie sightings in Turners after the game? Bob, it is called a beat down. Learn to enjoy it.

Or at least call Donald Little to have beat downs explained.

Except that he wasn't anywhere near the violation yet. DJ scored with 15 seconds left on the shot clock. It would be different if he were shooting as the clock was going to expire, but he wasn't anywhere close, which makes it kind of a jackass move. When you're up 19 and get a rebound with 45 second to go, launching a 3 with 15 seconds on the shot clock is not the classy thing to do.

I was in Morgantown last year...trust me WV wasn't just running out the clock at home. I am not saying today was payback. But I shed no tears for WV and their 22 point loss today.

Pardner · « **Reply #20 on:** January 10, 2009, 06:52:24 PM »

Maybe DJ was making a statement to Ruoff for the 15 or so elbows he popped in DJ in the face with? It was obvious that WVU was going right at DJ from the get-go. I always find those who are the most offended in these situations are the biggest offenders leading up. This is all a Huggins ploy to incite his team to step it up a notch...just like his T was planned when the game was getting out of reach. All gamesmanship.

One of the first plays of the game Lazar got called for a block and he was not anywhere near touching the WVU player... it wasn't even close. And Ruoff was CONSTANTLY throwing elbows and pushing off and most of those did not get called. The officiating went our way for the most part but there were def questionable calls.

The Man in Gold · « **Reply #22 on:** January 10, 2009, 07:15:06 PM »

Let's face it DJ jacking up a 3 is most often the easiest way for the other team to get the ball back.

ecompt · « **Reply #23 on:** January 10, 2009, 07:19:32 PM »

eyeballs, I was in Morgantown last year, too, and today I shed no tears for Huggy. What did he want Dom to do, stand there and get a shot-clock violation? Dom did the thing that he does worst, which is fire up a 3-pointer. The Mountaineers did the same thing to us last year.

Huggy Bear should have known that DJ's gunning for #1 All-Time MU Scorer and needs all the points he can get!
