Wahab vs Tshiebwe should be a really good matchup

Nice, good test and a former BE foe.

I thought I was done watching Huggy Bear whine and moan to the refs for 40 minutes 😣

Good to see a former Big East foe. It should be a fun game. West Virginia doesn't lose a lot from last season, so they should be good. But at the same time, their offense last season was "throw up a brick and get the rebound" for at least the last two months.

As opposed to our "throw up a brick and watch the other team get a rebound" offense?😁 Too soon?

I thought I was done watching Huggy Bear whine and moan to the refs for 40 minutes 😣 I actually like Huggins as a coach. I find him entertaining and brutally honest. He does not usually have the most talented/skilled teams, but he usually finds guys that buy into his system and his kids play hard and are always very physical. He had a really tough year a few years back and he pretty much came out and admitted he couldn't get his player to play the way he expected, and he got rid of almost the entire team the next year and brought in a bunch of junk yard dogs that play the way he wants them to. He is old school in a lot of ways, but I find his candor refreshing.

This is the one known game where I wouldn't mind if fans were NOT permitted to attend. When West Virginia was a regular visitor they brought in by far the worst, most obnoxious, most drunk and disgusting fans overall of any opponent I can remember. Those were the only home games I can remember being not excited to attend. Can I hope the WVA fan base has improved since their last visit?

So be it - a victory will feel better in front of their rabid fans.

I actually like him as a coach - just something about both his "volcanic eruption" face and his "painful constipation" face that irked me - at least when we are the opponent.

They were very obnoxious at MSG at the 2010 BET championship game. That loss hurt for many reasons.

Happy to have Syracuse or West Virginia fans fill the arena. It makes for a bigger game and looks better on television. It’s our fault that our own fans don’t show.

I'd be surprised if there are any fans at an early December game. Think we'll be watching on tv.

Think we'll be watching on tv. consequenceofsound.net/2020/04/health-expert-concerts-wont-return-fall-2021/I don't think "early December" is going to be any different from March 2021. If there's a 2020-2021 season (which I think is a big question, and I think there's a lot better chance that the G League plays next year than college basketball), we should be playing in McDonough.
