The Mothman was so spooked by Morgantown he moved back to Huntington.

So what's their new reality series going to be called, Couchland or Burnin' Down the Couch?

One time their newly hired hoops coach lasted less than 48 hours in town before declaring, "The Hell with this, I'm going back to the MAC!"

Call 'em the University of West Virginia and watch their expressions on their faces!

WVU is a rural version of Pitt.

What's that thingy on the hill that looks like a flying saucer from a "B" movie? That's their basketball arena. It gets worse. Go inside and witness the gray, drab interior. It's an architecture that only Nikita Khrushchev could love.

And the coup de grâce . . .







WVU is an affiliate member of the MAC.

Mothman was from Point Pleasant not Huntington or Morgantown.

Home of one of my favorite Colonial-Indian battles.

Good luck against the old A10 foe.

Out of that entire list, that's the one item you choose to dispute?

No such thing exists.

This is true and one of the best things to ever happen to WVU basketball. That coach is no longer even coaching and now works as a commentator(Dan Dakitch)

This is a pet peeve of WVU fans.

Pitt and WVU are nothing alike in any way.

Millions have already been raised for upgrades to the Coliseum starting after this season. WVU also has a brand new 20 million dollar basketball facility that is considered one of the best in the nation.

And the coup de grâce . . .

The Big 12 doesn't support mens soccer. It was either the MAC or drop a very good men's soccer program.

Happy now?

Someone may have already posted this, but in his breakdown (video on ESPN) of each NCAA team and 1st round match-up, Joe Lunardi is picking Buffalo to beat WVU.

No doubt it's the trendy upset pick. Obama picked Buffalo too

As a WMU fan, I'm comparing WMU's matchup vs Syracuse last year with UB's matchup vs WVU.

I think UB might be better then WMU was (one of the teams I was hoping WMU wouldn't have to play in the MAC Tourney last year), but WVU is better then Syracuse was.

I went with UB, but WVU is, outside of being a trendy upset PICK, on paper a clear favorite. I'd be surprised if UB won, but am a MAC fan so went with my heart.

I think one to remember too is, say WVU beats UB, does anyone think WVU will get to the round after that? How good is this WVU team?

WVU didn't lose to a non tourney team all season. The teams that gave us the most trouble were teams with excellent ball handling guards that could handle the press along with a dominate big man.

The problem with being the trendy upset pick, is there is no chance WVU will be looking past UB now!!!

Buffalo isn't a non tourney team.

fivethirtyeight.com model predicts buffalo has a 32% chance to win

http://fivethirtyeight.com/interactives/...2015/#mens

Buffalo has some key injuries/issues though. Otherwise, I'd put it at 40/60 that Buffalo would win. Now, I put it at 30/70.

WVU legitimately goes 12 deep which allows us to press the entire game, from what I can tell Buffalo uses an eight man rotation. I feel like that's the key factor in this game, being able to wear Buffalo down with the press and then take advantage of a tired Buffalo team late.

If by 12 you mean 10, ok. Ten guys play 12+ mpg. and play in almost every game. The other guys are single digit guys (1-7 mpg.) and don't even play every game. UB plays 8. It's not that much difference. An 8 man rotation is plenty to keep everyone fresh. That's not going to be the difference in the game. If that's what WVU is counting on to be the edge, they have miscalculated. I doubt they do. Sounds like the kind of thing fans think is important. I doubt it's Huggins plan. And I'm sure Hurley is not worried about those extra two guys WVU plays exhausting his team.

Lets
go
Buff
a
lo


Buffalo needs to win and go deep in the tourney so Moss can get NBA consideration and leave the conference early

Well it's is nice to see the Big12 is unbeatable. Nice game UAB.

That's because Huntington was too scary for him too.

Big12 getting scarier by the minute. UB might be favored in Vegas by tomorrow morning.
