WVU Basketball Fans Voice Frustration Over Blowing Game to Clemson

Feeling as if their team blew the game, WVU basketball fans are voicing their frustrations about how the Mountaineers’ lost the game to Clemson in their opening game of the Charleston Classic on Friday night.

To his credit, West Virginia head coach Ross Hodge put the blame on himself after the game.

“One-hundred percent my fault. One-hundred percent on me. I should have called a timeout. Saw it kind of like seeing a train wreck happen right in front of your eyes and you freeze. Again, that was 100% my fault. Should have got the trail official. Should have got the timeout and not even put B-Lo in that position,” said Hodge.

But Hodge’s comments don’t seem to be making WVU basketball fans feel any better. With the loss, West Virginia is now 5-1 on the year.

Yep. The Mountaineers had every chance to put the game away, and seemed to get caught in the headlights. Only two baskets in the last four minutes, including the less than aware dunk with 1.5 seconds. Good teams do not do what WVU did tonight. Gigantic learning opportunity.

Yep, classic WVU snuck into basketball tonight. Gave up in the last 5 minutes and it cost us.

Heartbreaker. This team is going to be fun to watch as the year progresses, but as @JonRothstein would say, consult your nearest cardiologist before consuming Mountaineer basketball #WVU

Bad situational basketball by WVU down the stretch but still a good win for Clemson basketball in November. Team will gel better once the rotations are figured out, not sure who the leading scorer on this team will be.
