I guess I gave them the kiss of death.

I guess I gave them the kiss of death.

I think they just ran out of gas. 6 games in 10 days with a 7 man rotation...they shot well for 3/4's of the game but went something like 7 minutes without a field goal at the end.

WVU is always my second team. Hopefully Huggy can win this game and take out Kentucky in the Sweet 16.

NTS I'm on board with WVU. Would love to see Huggy take them out.

your probably right on target Matt. They had a nice run but wore out. Miller has done a good job there. Wonder how long he'll stay. I would guess with last year and this year he will be a hot name.

it also doesn't hurt when rooting for WVU over Maryland that Wells of Maryland used to be a Muskie.

I'd love to see this happen. Unfortunately, Kentucky has excellent guards and I'm not sure WVU's style is good for taking out UK. Kentucky is scary in transition and WVU lacks the size to match them inside, plus the high-risk reward press WVU runs can work against them at times with easy buckets. And easy buckets for Kentucky usually means a blow out.

That said, no one expected them to beat Kentucky a few years ago...so I'm hopeful something will come of it.

It isn't a great matchup, I agree. Arizona is probably the best matchup, they are basically a more talented version of us.

I am definitely pulling for Huggs. But did we have any shot at getting that big guy he has Devin Williams I believe is his name. From Cincy.

Don't forget Huggins owns Calipari all time.

Read a stat that of the 80 Sweet 16 starters, 42 were top 100 recruits. Our recruiting needs to improve or even in great season will be nothing more than Pittsburgh or Villanova.

so 38 were not top 100 recruits? So it's almost even?

Top 100 by which site? ESPN? It seems they never give love to any of the UC recruits. But on Rivals, UC recruits tend to rank much higher. Example, Jacob Evans is top 100 on Rivals, not ESPN. Justin Jenifer is just outside of top 100 on Rivals, not ESPN. On Rivals, most recruits on the current team were either in the top 100 or just outside of it.

Murray st has better guard play than us.

Down goes Murray State! Cam Payne is awesome though. I really hope we get them on the schedule.

Payne is a stud. What I'd give to have him on UC's team next year.

Another kid that slipped through the cracks in Memphis. That city produces an amazing amount of talent.

RIP West Virginia 2014-15

Would You Rather.....

Lose in the round of 32 the way UC did

Or

Make it to the Sweet 16 and lose the way West Virginia is?
