Game Thread: West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Pittsburgh Panthers
Pittsburgh Panthers at West Virginia Mountaineers, Jan 30, 2012 7:00 PM EST
With the current losing streak dropping WVU to a paltry 5-4 in league play, tonight's hoops edition of the Backyard Brawl against Pitt has essentially become a must win game for the Mountaineers. First of all, it would get them off the schneid and hopefully gain some positive momentum heading into the second half of the Big East slate. Pitt enters the game on a roll, now that they have Woodall back to full speed. Do KJ and the boys have enough to counter? We shall see.
Televised coverage of the game begins at 7 pm EST on ESPN as part of the Big Monday lineup. So, sit back, relax, prop up the feet and grab a beverage or 11 and join us in running commentary, random observations, snark, wit, hopes, fears, cheers and jeers in the comments as we root on the Mountaineers in the latest edition of the Backyard Brawl.
And, as always...

Told my girlfriend tonight that we were playing Pitt. First words out of her mouth? Eat Shit Pitt. She is from California and pretty much hates sports.

it's like Neinas said
there won’t be anymore AQ.
Without the AQ, you need the strength of schedule within the conference
KJ
needs more touches this half. If we could put a hand in the face of that Woodall guy that might help a little too.

They've been trying to do that...
It hasn’t worked well.

We played pretty well.
Some tough calls against us, and Woodall scored twice his season average. Would have liked fewer easy baskets, but Pitt was picked to finish near the top of the Big East. We lost to a good team no matter what their record says.

Nice recap
We have one stud all-american and not much else. Some people need to step up on both ends of the court.
