I have thought about those things, but I'd have to buy a TV tuner and/or use a digital camera (whose shots of TVs generally don't look great). Plus, it would be time-consuming and I'm already using as much time as I want to doing the reports as it is. I wish CH 2K8 had an EA Sports World-like system, then I'd at least have screenshots for each game, but oh well.

Well, I have those issues sometimes, as well, haha. For example, I still haven't written up the report on the Villanova game that I played last weekend. I will get that posted tonight, though, hopefully!

I recently ordered a capture card so i can record my games and edit it in windows movie maker to just show some of the highlights. It was like 33 bucks.

I didnt know if you had ever wanted to try those out or not.

Just wanted to say that this continues to be great after all this time.

Well done on the OOC play, hopefully you can enjoy the same success in the conference schedule.

Not a bad price and I may eventually look into something, but for now I'm just going to keep it how it is. Uploading pictures and video would take more time than I am willing to spend on these reports. Putting the box score in takes long enough as it is. I can't handle taking more time writing the report than actually playing the game!

Thank you very much! I will post the Villanova game tomorrow (well, technically later today, I guess, since it's 4:27 AM, haha).

vs.
Villanova (8-4) vs. #2 West Virginia (12-1)
WVU Coliseum
Morgantown, WV
December 30th, 2020

The Villanova Wildcats (8-4, 1-0 Big East) did it. After a rather rough start to their season, accumulating four non-conference losses and dropping out of the rankings, the Wildcats picked up a very solid win to go towards their NCAA Tournament resume as they blew out the second-ranked and previously undefeated West Virginia Mountaineers (12-1, 0-1 Big East) 96-71 on the road in Morgantown, WV. The Wildcats controlled the game from the start and it never really seemed West Virginia was going to make it a close game.

West Virginia did make a run late in the first half to cut the lead to 44-39 in favor of the Wildcats at halftime. However, after the half, West Virginia got crushed as Villanova outscored the Mountaineers 52-32 after halftime en route to their 26-point shellacking.

The key stat for the game was turnovers. After only turning the basketball over five times Sunday against San Francisco, the Mountaineers turned the ball over 21 times this evening while Villanova accumulated a mere three turnovers. That is an 18 possession swing that is just too much to overcome, even with great shooting.

"We were careless and deserved to lose," said a sullen Coach Frizzell after the game. "As I've said earlier this season, you can't turn the basketball over and expect to win games. It just doesn't happen, no matter how good you shoot or how athletic your team is."

Villanova was led by senior shooting guard Cale Floyd, who led all scorers with 22 points on the night. Small forward Robbie Valdez scored 16 for the Wildcats while Floyd Liberty and Ismail Laudato scored 13 and 11 points apiece, respectively.

With the loss, the Mountaineers fall to 12-1 and 0-1 in conference play. They will attempt to bounce back from this loss on Saturday when they will host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Ouch, that's definitely a tough loss.

[Deuce2223]

Ouch and here I thought you might get to #1

[arsenal123gunners]

-18 Turnover differential, bummer!
