Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

Well....... I see where our old friend Patrick Beilien, the former player at WVU and head coach at WVW for two years is the head coach at Lemoyne. Maybe we can give him an old fashion butt whipping like he got while he was at Wesleyan.

Le Moyne or Gannon?

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

Next up for the Toppers is 4-1 Lemoyne out of the NE10. Lemoyne stands 4-1 on the season under a first year HC. Lemoyne is a junior heavy squad so they have experience. Also a first year HC can change a program rather quickly. Lemoyne has been a consistent just +500 program so they could present a real challenge to the Toppers.

Lemoyne...You are on the clock!

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

Monteroso went off last night with 25 points. Also had a nice dunk over Urbana's 6'7'' Center.

Monteroso did go off!! He is the emerging "star" of this years team. Unsung/breakout "star" so far is Meinenger but did you see how well Brandon Smith played as the starter for Meine? VERY solid! 15 points on 4-5 shooting...6-6 from the charity stripe and 6 assists. VERY nice 6th man and spot starter!

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

I get that, but to expect to log significant minutes as frosh at WLU is a hard expectation to meet. He could have been 2 or 3 yr starter, depending on if Monteroso came or not...and would have formed super backcourt with Dennis...I liked his game.

Some are cut out to play WLU basketball and some aren't. It is always hard to lose a gifted freshman but he's not the first to leave for the chance of more playing time in a program were they believe they will be the "star." He did go off against NAIA Southeastern and upped his season average to 13 PPG.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

Through 5 games West Liberty is averaging 113 points per game so far.

Guess that answers some of our questions about this team having a drop off in scoring lol.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

Apparently, Justice wanted more playing time than he was getting at West Lib. At least that's what I read 'between the lines' from what Crutch said during MEC Media Day earlier this month.

Boat, I enjoyed that segment of "Where are they now?"...I swear I read something that Beau Justice had 8 3's last night for Valdosta St....so his average will be going up...I still am mad at him transferring...Could have been a great pairing with DDennis for 4 years...

What's the deal / prognosis with Meininger and CLay's injuries? out a game? Out for weeks? Both ankles? We need an update...

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

Another beat down but what i liked is the way west lib shot the ball tonite from 3pt. I want to see that continue through the tougher games forthcoming.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

WLU moves to 4-0 with a convincing W over a Notre Dame squad that has played the Toppers tough in the past. Big note is Meine's ancle. Early in the season he has shown to be a valuable starter who has given us production we probably didnt expect heading into the season. We have some depth and can probably weather him missing the next game but hope he comes back quickly because i think we are better with him. Gross finally banged the offensive glass a little which is a plus. Steady scoring from our four starters (minus innured Meine). Bench played their part also.

Next up a surprisingly strong Urbana Monday then its off to Florida at the end of the week.

Urbana...you are on the clock.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

Fairly easy win with nd not having any depth and west lib 5 better than their 5. Meininger left game with foot injury and guillozet did not play in a boot on crutches prior to game start
