MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia’s storyline has grown tiresome to those who remain.
To the point that when questions are posed regarding the adversity a short-handed roster creates, the players simply nod their heads as a way to fast forward the moment.
“When you put any energy at all into off-the-court things, your on-the-court [focus] is not going to be where it needs to be,” West Virginia point guard Jordan McCabe said. “That’s with any team dynamic. If you’re not 100 percent focused on how can we get ourselves to click the right way on the floor, especially at this level and in this conference, it’s just a recipe for disaster.
