Saturday was good to WVU basketball as both hoops squads secured victories in their contests. The men fought through an ugly game against USF to come away with a regular season capping victory while the women took care of Syracuse in their Big East Tournament. Up next for the women are the Hoyas today at noon. The men are off until Wednesday at noon in their final Big East Tournament, where they will face the winner of the UConn/DePaul first round game. Further coverage of the wins awaits...

As a friend of mine so eloquently put it yesterday afternoon, there are 3 certainties in life: death, taxes...and WVU beating Rutgers. Kevin Jones did what Kevin Jones does and the Mountaineers put away the Scarlet Knights early, leading 48-22 at halftime on their way to a 84-60 victory. Complete coverage of the rout is inside, including several player features and coverage of the players reunion that was attended by over 100 former Mountaineer cagers.
