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 Moët et Chandon, in honor of a certain Big East Tournament Championship.

"If I can make it there, I'll make it...anywhere."  Well, this team made it there.  I guess we can make it anywhere.  We won this one, but we ain't done yet.  "I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps and find I'm a number one, top of the list, king of the hill, A Number One."  OK, so we got "A Number 2" for the Big Dance.  Lot's of BET Championship coverage to clean out and a look ahead to the big one.  No time to rest on our laurels of this championship.  There are bigger fish to fry.  Beware the Ides of March, people.  Keep the tips, suggestions and requests coming.  See you inside...

So...welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend.  Come inside, come inside...  It's finally here:  BET game-day.  And yes, we have to wait some more as the Mounties aren't scheduled to tip until after 9 pm, and it'll probably be closer to 9:30-9:45.  The quarterfinal action gets underway at noon.  I really wish I could skip work this afternoon.  Hmmm...  Maybe I will.  It's a music heavy edition inside.  Country Roads was reading my mind the other day.  I hope you all enjoy.  Tips, suggestions and requests make my life easier.  Come and see the show...

Let's GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great run by the women.  This UConn team is just too good.  I think they'll make a nice NCAA run as well.  Have we ever seen both BB teams ranked this high at the same time?  Enjoy it people.  Don't take it for granted.  The BET in NY is well under way now.  Almost there.  Yes, we still have to wait until tomorrow.  There's plenty of coverage inside to keep you sated until tomorrow.  Note:  All Bracketology and Bubble Watch links will be updated as of the previous days games.  Keep the tips, suggestions and requests coming.  See you after the jump...

We have a big day today: the women are in the finals tonight and the men's tourney gets underway at noon.  Carey's women face a seemingly insurmountable task tonight, but David's been known to cut down Goliath before.  We just gotta keep the faith.  Huggs and the guys will have/get to wait until Thursday for their first test.  Until then, plenty of tournament previews to keep you satisfied.  Keep the tips, suggestions and requests coming.  It's all inside after the jump.  I've always tried to remember this next part for the men's games, but I've never done it for the women, so...
