Re: Coaching Legacy of James Frizzell (CH 2K8)

Rebounding seems to be a big strength this year, that's going to end up being huge in the tourney.

Agreed. Buscher is a big reason why.

This team's depth really puts it above past teams, in my eyes. I haven't really had a team at WVU where I can go 10- or 11-deep consistently. Almost anyone is capable of going off on any given night and I've tried to be cognizant about giving minutes to more guys this year. Even Boakai Clement has really surprised me with his stroke from deep this season.

#2 West Virginia (15-0) vs. Providence (9-3)
Dunkin' Donuts Center
Providence, RI
January 7th, 2034

Nik Buscher and Shannon Edwards tallied double-doubles for No. 2 West Virginia (15-0, 3-0) as the Mountaineers rolled over Providence 96-63 to win their third conference game of the season.

Buscher scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for West Virginia and Edwards totaled 18 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists as the two big men dominated the Providence frontcourt. Ije Przybyszewski added 12 points and six assists and small forwards Felipe Delgado and Myron DeLeon added 12 and 10 points, respectively.

West Virginia shot 56% (39/70) from the field and 44% (11/25) from beyond the three-point arc.

Connally Parada led Providence (9-3, 2-2) in scoring with 11 points. Booker Demond added 10 points from off the bench.

West Virginia got off to a quick start tonight and put the game out of reach early in the second half after taking a 40-25 halftime lead. All 12 Mountaineers played at least five minutes tonight and nine played at least 15 minutes as head coach James Frizzell got a chance to give a lot of guys playing time.

Next up for West Virginia is a home date with Syracuse next Tuesday followed by the biggest conference game of the season at No. 8 Connecticut next Saturday.

Re: Coaching Legacy of James Frizzell (CH 2K8)

Wow New Mexico State 13-1 and in the Top-25 this deep into a coaching legacy. I am impressed..

I like the fact some other A-10 Majors are still holding onto some spots as well as the nice showing by the Pac-10 being a westcoast guy.

Yeah, it’s cool to see how things change. The A-10 has become a de facto power conference in recent years.

Syracuse (9-8) vs. #2 West Virginia (16-0)
WVU Coliseum
Morgantown, WV
January 10th, 2034

Nik Buscher scored 21 points and added five rebounds and three blocks as No. 2 West Virginia edged past Syracuse 79-69 this evening in Morgantown.

The Orange (9-8, 3-2) gave the Mountaineers (16-0, 4-0) one of their toughest games of the season, but in the end it wasn't enough, though the Mountaineers' 10-point margin of victory was their smallest such margin this season.

Shannon Edwards added 17 points and eight rebounds for West Virginia and Skip Bradford totaled 12 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. Felipe Delgado also scored 11 points and grabbed four rebounds.

Barry Hammond scored 15 points to lead Syracuse in scoring. Gregory Sowers tallied an impressive 12-point, 15-rebound double-double and freshman point guard Jason Wilkins added 13 points and five rebounds. Fellow freshman Roger McCurry also came off the bench to score 10 points.

West Virginia forced 16 Syracuse turnovers while only turning the basketball over seven times. This ultimately proved decisive in what was otherwise a tight game.

Next up for West Virginia is their biggest Big East Conference game of the season as they will hit the road to face No. 7 Connecticut in Storrs, CT.

It was closer than I expected. The difficulty level seems to be ratcheting up in conference play. We definitely could have lost it, so I wasn’t super confident. When we have a bad shooting night, we’re certainly beatable.
