WVU 80
CSU 78
FINAL

crazy game. Blew two 17 point leads...lazy play by the mountaineers in the 2nd half. Made the same mistakes over and over again against the full court press. But clev state played very inspired today. No wonder they've had some marquee upsets the past few seasons.

The Mountaineers will get to practice against the press a good bit in the next couple of weeks, I'd bet. But the only reason that press was so effective was lazy passing, and lousy decisions. I'm sure Huggins will have them working their butts off on beating the press ASAP...
