PREDICTION THAT WILL BE WRONG
It could be the existential dread of having to listen to Dan Dakich for a second consecutive day, but I don’t have a great feeling about this game. I still think WVU wins — and maybe even keeps the lead throughout the entire 40 minutes — but I feel like the Hilltoppers are going to put the Mountaineers to the test.
West Virginia 79, Western Kentucky 74
