ESPN has us as a 15.5 point underdog and gives us a 13% chance to win. This is a really tough matchup.

First key: can’t turn the ball over at the rate they did against Iona and Mizzou. With the Mountaineers D generating TOs on 27% of possessions through their first three games that’s going to be a supreme challenge.

Dingle a game-time scratch. In street clothes on the bench. Great.

McMullen gets the start in Dingle’s place.

Did the line just go up to 35?

Two more turnovers accompany a Martz putback out of the under 16:00 timeout.

WVU now 4-5 from 3 to go up 23-9 at the under 12:00.
Penn up to 6 TOs. This is poised to get very ugly.

A Mountaineer 3 followed by a Penn turnover.
Rinse, repeat.

I haven't been able to watch first half (probably for the best). That said, I saw Dingle is out, but where is MLL? 0 mins in the first half on ESPN boxscore against a power 5 opponent for our most athletic post player? What gives?

With Dingle out, Steve leaned heavily on Slajchert, Martz, Spinoso, & Monroe, so not a ton of bench minutes available, even as he went 10 deep in the rotation.

Erik Stevenson, a 5th-year senior who is now at his 4th school after previous stops at Wichita State, Washington, and South Carolina, is 8-8 from the floor including 4-4 from 3.
For his career he’s a .403/.308 shooter.

Charles can't buy a bucket. We simply do not have scorers outside of Dingle/Slajchert (maybe Martz?).

Our offense tonight was the Slajchert Show.
Spinoso had some good moments, and Martz hit a couple of shots, but we just don't have a lineup that has both multiple reliable scoring options beyond JD and Slajchert and can play the kind of defense we need to play in order to win.
Charles' shot has deserted him. He hasn't shot well consistently since early last season, when no one had the book on him.

Odd tidbit of the night: this is the first time in his career Bob Huggins has ever faced an Ivy League team.
Also oddly, Princeton was one shot away from getting to face WVU in the NCAA R32 in both 2011 and 2017. (I have a photo somewhere of Huggins sitting next to me on press row advance scouting Princeton-UK in 2011.)
