You're right, that sucked.

WVU certainly did not look like a top 10 team last night. They commited too many turn-overs, got called for too many fouls, and didn’t make enough free throws when they got the chance. The simple fundamentals of basketball were their undoing.

I still believe this team can make great runs in the BE and NCAA tourneys, but they have to play with a good deal more intensity than they showed last night. So, to Da’Sean, Devin, Kevin, Wells, Truck and the rest: Love you guys, mean it, now go make me prouder to be Mountaineer than I already am.
