Wow, what a half! Kevin Jones and Joe Mazzula...do work boys! Fuck yeah, suck it Clemson.

Excellent consecutive defensive series by Dalton Pepper at a critical time. Congrats to WV.

How bout the ending of Butler-Old Dominion. I was sweating a bit!

[HilbillyHomeboy]

Dalton Pepper vs. the world. That was so ridiculous, I was cheering, laughing and trying to avoid pissing my pants I was so jacked up!

I didn't watch the end of the Old Dom/Butler game but saw it was a barn burner.

Go Princeton?

[HilbillyHomeboy]

Almost got my Princeton wish. Don't know what they were thinking taking 20 seconds to set up that tying shot.

12:15 tomorrow, WV vs. KY. Let's gooooo Mountaineers!

They've been running their mouths, "guarantee a win over those hicks from WV". Which is hillarious in itself if you've ever seen Clemson, SC. LOL.

Yes, I predict we go out in the 2nd round also. We destroyed KY's dream last year. They'll damn sure want revenge, and we're pretty freaking schizo this year.

KY to the final 4? You crazy! No way they beat tOSU or UNC. Ballsy pick there!

Someone better take Duke out, they have a fairly easy ride. UConn, SDSU...you listening?

Jeremy

I've got the 'cuse taking down UNC because a quick google search led me to believe that UNC struggles against the zone.

I wasn't impressed when I reviewed tOSU's schedule. Outside of the conference home/road split with Purdue, the only quality win was early in the season @ Florida. UK did that too

And I know I've been down on Texas lately, but we match up well with Duke. I've got us falling to UConn

[Mikes2nd]

Michigan almost took duke out... NC robs Washington(with the helps of the refs)...

Pitt goes down....

[Telionis]

Am I mistaken, or does the invincible Big East only have one team in the sweet 16 (maybe two, as ND still might come back, but FSU is playing well)? How many did they start with? I thought Pitt would be in the final four... Butler???

Can't spell Virginia Tech without NIT. LMFAO that we bitched so hard about relegation to the NIT, then again fell in the regionals (4 years in a row). Last year it was Rhode Island, this year Wichita State, both at home, with large point spread in our favor, my thoughts on the subject:



Sorry Stealthdriver, I was really hoping for a VT v New Mexico NIT final.

[stealthee]

I havent beenpaying much attention. I know two BE teams played today, so we were losing one no matter what there.

[HilbillyHomeboy]

Two BE teams left, UConn and Marquette. The Pitt loss was silly, fouling on a meaningless rebound with under a second to go and a tie score. LOL. I may be a BE fan, but I always cheer for sPitt to lose.

WV couldn't keep it together for two halves, as usual. The 2nd half was atrocious. Took 5 or so minutes before we scored. And only two fg's in the last 7:30. So, somewhere between 12-13 minutes of the 2nd, we scored only 3 fg's. Ain't gonna beat much of anyone like that!

Jeremy

[AdamVR4]

I'll never know why we called a time out after securing a rebound with ~12 seconds to go and a 2 point lead. All Jordan Hamilton had to do was wait for the foul to come and take his free throws. Instead we had to inbound the ball. Some would argue that it was not 5 seconds before the official called the violation, some would argue that Corey Joseph called the time out before the ref called the 5-second violation, but it was close enough and it never should have come to that.



Yet another totally heart breaking loss in the recent history of Texas sports.
