During the loss of three games of Western Virginia, a common tendency is to start slowly.
Against Houston on Wednesday, WVU lags 10-2 lags. The State of Kansas last Saturday WVU launched 19-2. Against Arizona State last week, WVU lags behind 10-2.
“It’s completely players. Our coaches do everything they need to do to prepare us for every plan of the game, and they have great scouts. We just have to ask for it more. We haven’t arrived and know that, and just We need to play with more confidence in this protective end, “said Toby Omani from WVU.
The West Virginia was lagging behind by the initial council against Houston on Wednesday. The couges came out on 8-0 lead in the opening two minutes, and they could never return to the game, similar to what happened against Kansas the State last weekend for WVU.
Houston’s eight -tonne lead became a 15 -point lead with 10:48 to play in the first half, and the first half ended with Houston in front with 20.
“We just have to bring it. At the end of the day, it’s at the end of the day, so we just have to understand how we can go down to the best start we can,” said Joe Jesuf of WVU.
The climbers managed to fight in the second half, reducing Houston’s lead to five in two separate cases. However, the first half deficit was insurmountable to Western Virginia.
“We are definitely aware. The waters can change really fast. You go down five to 20 truly fast. We saw this in the first half, but in the second half, as I said, we took it, we started playing more strongly, more disciplined and that was the result said Jesfu.
As for how they hope to go out faster, they believe that it starts with their play in the protective end. West Virginia forced five turnover in the first half on Wednesday, but forced the same number in the first seven minutes of the second half as they tried to return to the game.
“I just think we were defensively back to our identity. We just didn’t keep ourselves in the first half, we weren’t ourselves,” Ozani said.
WVU chief coach Darian Devris shared similar moods about how the last three games had slow starts. He says he hopes his team can take his second half and carry it, starting this weekend against Cincinnati.
“The first half felt like our last two games to be honest with you. We just didn’t play with the same spirit we had before. I thought in the second half if we come back to it and we would do this for the whole goals 40 minutes we will be right where we have to be to win games down, “Devrris said.
