So far, the double-bye has been a curse in the BET. Is it because of too much rest or does it show that the Big East is the toughest conference in the nation? Either way, I hope we do not fall victim to the curse.
As always...

I don't care who we play tomorrow...
We can beat both Pitt and ND.
Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

I'm still steamed
that we went out to Anaheim to play in a tournament with 3 other ranked teams and won the damn thing without seeing one of the aforementioned ranked teams. I’d rather we beat a ranked Pitt than an unranked ND going into the NCAA.

Country Roads is sitting about 10 rows up at mid-court.
Yes, he is an asshole.

Pitt ball down 2 with a minute to go. Game has an overtimey smell.

My prediction
We stomp them. Bickelficherkane will probably admonish me for being optimistic.

Unlike SU, Nova, and Pitt
WVU’s opponent is playing its 3rd game in 3 days—not just its 2nd straight game.
Doesn’t amount to anything, but c’est vrai.

Couldn't ask for a much better start.
Kept them off the offensive boards and we are playing great D.

Foul count is UC 4, WVU 2
Next 1 or 2 close fouls will be on WVU. Gotta push through that.

Huggs seems calm.
After Truck got beat and picked up the foul he really coached him instead of just screaming at him

when mazzulla is on the court, the other team has the advantage, they know he’s not gonna shoot the ball,
You have a point
Though Mazzulla is a threat to dribble-penetrate

Looks to me like Joe’s feeling a bit more confident about shooting the last couple of games.

Now we are playing like shit.
Great on D but we are in our normal cold streak after a run. It is crazy how consistent our runs and cold streaks are

Eh
It’s not so bad. Just a combination of a poor offensive line-up and a couple bad shots. Just need a couple solid possessions.

Kilicli and Jennings? He finalyl put in a shooter with Mitchell.
and now I look like an idiot for starting this comment because West’s contribution is all Huggs

by 5th Year Senior on Mar 11, 2010 10:17 PM EST reply actions
Not sure what you expected...
…if not an ugly game from WVU. WVU and Cincy are both teams that can’t shoot and so try to muck up the game with defense and rebounding. Of 30-odd games, how many times has WVU not played ugly?
by bicklefischerkane on Mar 11, 2010 10:19 PM EST up reply actions
We play pretty at times but seem to lose focus.
If they win I am fine with an ugly game but during the game I am going to point out where we are not performing up to our potential.

WTF?
We should be up by 15. How do we let teams back into a game like this? A bi-polar team if I’ve ever seen it.

How many times
have we blown big leads and still won? 21 out of 24 by my count. Lay back, relax, we’re still in it.
"I like the taste of danger most of all." - Jonatha Brooke
Second half keys
Keep up the intensity on the boards. We are doing a great job of keeping them of the glass but need to get a few offensive rebounds if we continue to shoot so poorly.
Get Stephenson to commit an early foul.
Slow down and look for points off cuts. Like Bilas said, “All their points have come off cuts.” We stand around on some possession and wait for Butler to get open.
Should be up by at least 10 but I will take a 3 point lead.

if we could hit our free throws with any consistency as a team, we’d be crazy good, whats more our achilles heel, streaky shooting or free throws????
I don't know about crazy good but...
we would be up by more if we shot better than 55% at the line. Just horrible so far tonight.
