Twitter Reaction: WVU Fans Question Effort After 34-Point Loss to Texas

Just days after West Virginia added another resume building win over then number 11 Iowa State, the Mountaineers got completely destroyed by number 5 Texas.

Even though the loss was on the road against a top 10 team, WVU fans voiced their frustration with the roller coast season and the effort of the team on Saturday afternoon.

Texas 24/24 free throws. Also shooting well and we never started playing. Team is playing like hot garbage. Should have cleared the bench earlier. Starting 5 took the day off today mentally and physically.

Emmitt comes out blistering, then hardly sees the ball the rest of the game. Why weren’t we trying to get him good looks?

This was a perfect storm. We had a really physical game against ISU, guys a little banged up. Factor in a stupidly long away game and the fact that Texas hasn't played in about a week, and this is what you get.

Was pretty much expecting this.

Fair criticism and analysis isn’t intended to tear anyone down and the role of the media is in no way to only act in ways that benefit the team and players. If they crumble because of my tweets, which I certainly don’t expect to be some trigger to them, that’s on them, not me. https://t.co/kvK7Rx25n6

This WVU team is one of the most sloppy I’ve ever watched when it comes to being loose with the ball. I can’t even count how many times this year we simply toss it to the other team or fire it out of bounds.

94-60 Final. At Texas joins home vs Kansas as the two poorest efforts by WVU men’s basketball this season. Very short turnaround at Baylor Monday night. https://t.co/oTCOlW79fj

The worst WVU basketball game with Tre Mitchell being garbage, Stevenson being bad, Kedrian being horrendous, and Seth Wilson being awful. Oh yeah and the refs being the worst of all.
