Game Thread: West Virginia Mountaineers vs. UConn Huskies

For the second straight game the Mountaineers get another shot at a former Big East rival, this time it's the reigning National Champion UConn Huskies for the championship of the Puerto Rico Tipoff Classic tournament. The Mountaineers have got here by dispatching George Mason on Thursday with ease and then by pulling off a second half comeback against Boston College on Friday. UConn represents the toughest opponent to date for this young WVU team looking to keep their early season perfect record intact. They also bring a perfect record into today's game, supported by an average winning margin of almost 11 points.
