Rapid Takeaways Following West Virginia’s Loss to Wake Forest
West Virginia dropped to 7-3 on the season following a 75-66 loss to Wake Forest in Charleston.
Here are a few of my initial thoughts from this one.
Sloppy first half offense
I don’t know what’s worse, the 12 turnovers or the 4/18 mark from three-point range, with most of those attempts not coming off a paint touch. Brenen Lorient had four turnovers himself, one of which was a questionable travel call, but there were way too many live-ball turnovers, leading to points the other way.
Good response, bad response
After falling behind 10, the Mountaineers turned things around quickly, largely due to Honor Huff heating up for a few possessions. During that stretch where they fell behind, the ball-handling was sloppy, shot selection wasn’t the greatest, and Wake Forest just out-physicaled them on the interior. Weathering that storm and tying the game up at the half was big. The punch Wake threw in the second half? Yeah, WVU must have been weak on the ropes because they had no answer.
Still no offensive identity
Aside from Honor Huff jacking up a bunch of threes every game, I’ve yet to see an identity pop up for this team offensively. What do they do extremely well? I haven’t seen anything above average play through the first ten games of the season. They haven’t shot it well or attacked the paint consistently to dominate the interior either. Something has to emerge before conference play, or it’s going to be a big uphill battle.
Allergic to passing the ball inside
I understand Wake does a pretty good job of closing out the paint, but this is something that’s been a bit of a problem all year for WVU when not playing the low major scrubs (no offense to those programs). Swinging the ball around the perimeter isn’t going to open anything up. You have a 7-footer (Harlan Obioha) and an athletic freak (Brenen Lorient) down there for a reason — pound the ball inside. If they take away the passing lanes, they need to get more downhill, and Chance Moore can’t be the only one capable.

KINGSTREE, S.C. (WCHS) — A Randolph County couple were arrested in South Carolina on Sunday after they allegedly fled West Virginia with their child, which they didn’t have legal custody over, troopers said.
Darries L. Fauntleroy and Megan R. Fauntleroy, both 40, of Montrose were each charged with felony conspiracy and taking a minor child from a custodian out of the state of West Virginia, according to a press release from the Elkins Detachment of West Virginia State Police.
Troopers said the seven-year-old child was in custody of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources. The Fauntleroys are the biological parents of the child, but allegedly neither had legal custody of the child. In particular, Megan was allegedly not allowed to be in the presence of the child, according to troopers.
Troopers said according to WVDHHR, the couple took the child from the area and were believed to have fled the state, making their way to South Carolina. After an investigation between WVSP, the United States Marshals Service and local South Carolina law enforcement, troopers said the couple was located.
The couple was then arrested in Kingstree, S.C., by officers with the Kingstree Police Department, the Williamsburg County Sheriff’s Office and the United States Marshals Service, troopers said, adding that they are both awaiting extradition back to West Virginia.
Meanwhile, the child was safely located and is in the custody of the South Carolina Department of Social Services awaiting a safe return to the care of WVDHHR.
