Team is struggling to get to West Virginia

I don't think the coaches were drinking with him, but this JC coach said the night before their regional final he went downstairs of their hotel and found MH sitting at the hotel bar having a drink, haha. He was 21 so technically not illegal.

Love the avatar. :ez-laugh:
 
Just win... I don't care how it looks. Bad break though..

Per twitter: The team is about to take off from Newark.

Yuck, please don't let this be an excuse people use to describe a loss. Hopefully they can get there heads straight.

Non factor. They are kids.
 
They are finally on their way, and then have a 40 minute drive to Morgantown.
Basically just going to have the shootaround right before tip.

Looks like they finally got there. WV police escort to the arena. 40 minute ride
 
Re: Team is struggling to get to West Virginia [1:23 PM Update]

Update: Team just landed and loading up bus to arena. Two hours to tip.
 
Re: Team is struggling to get to West Virginia [1:23 PM Update]

BOOMER. For some reason I see an epic performance from the guys tonight after this, idk why but I do

None of them is too far removed from doing exactly the same thing in HS. They should be fine, although this is going to be a really tough game, regardless.

Holy moly! :facepalm

Next time maybe they'll get an earlier start. I could have told them that Morgantown is not an easy town to get to from here.

I think they left at about noon yesterday. That should have been plenty of time.

Jet lag shouldn't be. But a nearly 24 hour trip and much of it spent sitting around with little sleep may affect them.
 
OU tweeted a pic of players in line to get their ankles taped about 10 minutes ago. Some probably still waiting. Not making any judgements/excuses. Just posting about the situation.

What about the change in the altitude? :D

That was a joke. Morgantown's elevation is not much different than OKC or Ada.

Exactly! And it's distracting and exhausting (not necessarily physically) IMO. WVU sitting at home all warm with nothing to lose. Guess we'll find out soon! BOOMER SOONER!
 
I think we can definitively say that travel affected the team's play tonight. Most thought it would.
