Game Thread: Big East Finals, Hoyas vs. Mountaineers

326px-georgetown_university_hoya_logo_medium

The New York mission is almost complete.  The Hoyas seem to be peaking at just the right time, but will their 4th game in 4 days finally catch up with them?  Can we control Greg Monroe?  We did the first time around.  Is he capable of back to back monster games?  Can Da` do it again?  Our defense has been stifling, can we do it one more night in New York and make a huge case for that #1 tournament seed?  We will all find out shortly.  Let's do this again and prevent Georgetown from adding to their record seven BET titles and grab our first.

As always (and forever)...

"Big lights will inspire you, hear it for New York."  I keep telling myself that we need to enjoy this while we can, but damn, this team is going to give me an ulcer...or worse.  Big East Finals baby!!!!  And perhaps a #1 seed at stake.  If that doesn't inspire you...check your pulse.  Enjoy the game and have a great weekend!!!!  Keep the tips, suggestions and requests coming.  (Updated 11:45 am, added video) New York:  It's a state of mind...

There has been no strategy on the part of West Virginia University with regard to contact with any other conference. Let me re-emphasize: W.V.U. is committed to the Big East.

Game Thread: BET Semis - WVU vs. Notre Dame

Notre-dame-logo_medium

Can the Mounties keep the NY magic alive tonight?  Which wins, WVU D or ND O?  Does Wells rebound from his tough game last night?  Can Da keep up the heroics?  Notre Dame has been on a roll lately.  But then again, so have we, if you haven't noticed.  Let's keep Luke in his place and secure our place in the BE Finals.

As always...

I hate to break up all the fun basketball news, but this is too important to completely ignore. In the interview, HCBS spoke on a variety of subjects, but the most interesting revelations came when the interviewer asked about the possibility of the BE being raided (around the 7:20 mark). ESPN's BE Blogger, Brian Bennett has a nice summary/recap HERE. He almost seems to be talking as if it's a done deal and refers the Big East in the past tense. Yet, he does catch himself and says that it's a few years off.

The Shotgun/Throwdown: BET Semi-Finals (3/12/10) Edition

20653_medium

Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor and daily distractions; Now nationally recognized!  We're being brought to you today by Big Shot Seasonal Ale, for the obvious reason.

"Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do..."  Song lyrics have never rung truer for Mountaineers today.  I'm still so damned psyched up...WOW!!!  Lot's of recaps inside.  A WVU win tonight could go a long way into securing a #1 seed.  It'll definitley secure another S/T edition tomorrow morning.  Keep the tips, suggestions and requests coming (and don't forget your Hump Day bracket submissions).  And here...we...go...

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
