Analysis of the West Virginia Mountaineers basketball game against Lafayette, including a prediction on the game's outcome, key factors like defensive performance, shooting struggles, and player performance. Details on WVU's strengths, areas needing improvement, and the impact of player performance are also discussed.
fans can catch the Mountaineers inside Hope Coliseum until he final day of the month when they face Mercyhurst. Tonight's opponent, Lafayette, strolls into Morgantown as massive underdogs, as you'd expect.
This is a pretty big number for a team that hasn't shot the ball extremely well yet and isn't going to push the pace. That said, I still have confidence they can cover due to their smothering defense. The Leopards have shot it poorly from three-point range at just 29% and the free throw line, connecting on only 63% of their opportunities at the charity stripe. Also, Lafayette has been crushed on the glass in all three of their losses and will clearly have a size disadvantage tonight. The Leopards have some multiple 6'11"/7-footers on the roster, but only Luke Bevilacqua sees regular minutes, and he's a true freshman.Until West Virginia's offense shows a pop, I'm likely going to keep siding with the under. Treysen Eaglestaff and Honor Huff still haven't hit their groove, and while those two continue to figure it out, WVU's scoring will be limited to some degree. I do think they found something with throwing it underneath to Harlan Obioha, but still, those two sharpshooters need to get going. I expect a bunch of turnovers and sloppy play from Lafayette, meaning they may struggle to crack 50 in this one.) for the Mountaineer Postgame Show, where we'll take a look at the final numbers, talk about the positives, what needs to improve, and much more.
