WVU vs Notre Dame

[RJM_Go_RU]

Not a a fan of Bob Huggins as I think he has been shady over the course of his long career, but of course I am rooting for WVU. The only way I could root for Notre Dame is if they were playing Syracuse.

I like WVU generally. They are a "scrappy" school that has always had to fight for respect (kind of like guess who?)

And don't mean to disrespect Bob Huggins. He plays it close to the line. When at WVU (or Cincinnati before), it's what you have to do I guess. Obviously, he's been successful over a long time (longevity counts, respect anyone who can last at high level for so long) and no recent NCCA scandals, so that's something.

Huggins is certainly shady, but the man can coach. His teams do nothing but win.

His teams always are one of the best at the press.

True. All his teams defend and rebound fanatically.

Maybe I am changing my mind and should say I am a fan of Bob Huggins after-all?...lol... I need to think about that one.

I get the sense he really cares for his kids.

GO WVU!! Notre Dame and Duke--two peas in a pod. I can't stand them. I have never liked Huggins, but the man can coach. I love watching his press. The kids are relentless.

They call him "Huggy Bear" after the CI from Starsky and Hutch.

Colson - reminds me a lot of Danny Manning. Both his looks and his game.

Farrell - he's like the guy on Duke that everybody loves to hate. Kid looks like a damn gorilla. He needs to get a tweezer for those eyebrows and to trim then damn armpits of his holy cow!!

WVU is an excellent team but that kid Adrian is horrible. Why does Huggins play him?

Total scrapper and big body. If I recall correctly he has almost always had a guy like that in his starting lineup or as his first man off the bench.

Not really Dame lost? :okay::clap::pizza::sunglasses::):stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I wish Rutgers pressed more because it takes time off the shot clock and causes turnovers and fast break baskets.For a team lacking in shooters Rutgers needs to use defensive strategy to generate offense.There are enough players on the bench to press full court.This could be a difference maker strategy for next season.
