November 29, 20169 yr Did either of you or anyone else see the WV-Illinois game over the holiday? I don't think I have ever seen a major DI power conference team handle a press as badly as Illinois did. Literally looked like a bad jv high school team playing a top notch varsity team, like Cov Cath, Dunbar, etc. They had 20 turnovers at somewhere around the 15 minute mark in the 2nd half. It was disgusting how bad they looked against WV pressure.

The Virginia matchup this weekend should be interesting.

November 29, 20169 yr Final tonight. 5 pts, 4 rbs in 11 mins for Bolden in the win. Glad to hear he is healthy. Saw where he was averaging 9 minutes and 5 points a game but didn't play in the one close game they have had. I haven't seen them play. Do you think Huggins will be able to utilize him this year in big games? I'd love to see him shine like he did around here.

November 29, 20169 yr Indications so far say no, but it's still way early. I'm hoping he is getting stronger by the day and can contribute.
