I feel much more confident in the team after the KU game. I think they know they had some luck and fortune on their side and they will come in more focused and ready to handle business. I think WVU will put up a fight but we ultimately wear them down and win by double digits.
Plus, I think I would be a little disappointed if we lost because WVU hasnt played that particularly well the last two games after Iowa St but this is a big game for them so anything can happen. I still think the good guys win this one.
Agree with @UHross. Iâm feeling good about this one. I donât think LJ or Sharp will shoot as poorly as they did against Kansas and I think weâll have a good game plan for Javon Small, which was pretty good last time except for some early 3s. I also think JâWan is going to go off again. WVU doesnât have anyone who can guard him. WVU only plays 7 guys and have lost their last 2 to Arizona State (home) and K State (road). They might be able to keep it close in the first half, but I think we run away with it in the 2nd half.
In games like that, there will always be luck. Like Auburn, Alabama and San Diego st were lucky. Against Auburn, we were leading with less then 1 minute left and they are called out as the best team in the country.
Yes that is correct Mike. Iâm the one who had him make the correction bc he posted ESPN 2 originally n i stated it was ESPN+ game. I then posted that i rather have on ESPN 2.
ALL good⊠ESPN+ it is.
Make it 9-0 Coogs!!
Itâs good we are tempering our expectation for a win. Itâs a tough environment, a good opponent, and a huge XII winning streak that adds to the pressure. If they lose itâll reenergize the team for the closing run in conference
I am approaching every game as a fan of the team without the expectation of actually winning the game. I am normally happy with the effort and I know as long as the GOAT is coaching that is never in doubt. That does not mean we cannot lose a game but the effort will always be there. For that I am eternally grateful.
The overall sentiment for the basketball game between Houston and West Virginia on January 29, 2025, leans heavily towards a Houston victory. Hereâs a breakdown based on available information:
Houston is favored by a significant margin in betting lines, with spreads indicating Houston as an 8.5 to 7.5 point favorite, suggesting a strong expectation of a Houston win.
Predictions from various sources consistently point towards Houston winning, with some sources providing specific predictions like Houston winning with a 65.2% probability.
Posts on X also reflect this sentiment, with some users highlighting Houstonâs recent performance, including a previous victory over West Virginia by 16 points, and suggesting that Houston is likely to continue their winning streak.
Computer models and expert analyses further support the notion that No. 6 Houston is favored over West Virginia, with no significant counter-narrative suggesting otherwise.
While there are mentions of West Virginia potentially showing up for the game, the predominant sentiment on both web articles and X posts is one of confidence in Houstonâs ability to win, especially given their recent form and historical performance against West Virginia. However, sports being unpredictable, individual performances on the night could sway outcomes beyond what sentiment currently suggests.
More then likely theyâre going to double down on Roberts as much as they can. Sharp, Cryer, Milos, TA & Wilson will get some good looks tonight. Got to knock 'em down.
The Coogs have so many weapons, that someone is going to have a good game scoring. Couple that with the fact they always play good defense. Good things man.
I think Cryer goes off tonight. I think it is time for JoJo have a good game as well.
