Basketbrawl tonight - 7 PM at WVu
Should be interesting.

Also, another Brawl event - Wrestling - is Saturday at 7 PM.

WVU has a pretty decent wrestling team, even though they did get off to a slow start. Y'all best be ready... 05-mafia

Tonight's game will be tough for Pitt if Dixon can't play. WVU is adding a big player, and he could be the piece the Mountaineers have been missing. Watch the big Turk, Deniz Kilicli. Huggins says he WVU's best inside scoring right now, which is saying something...

According to newspaper reports, Dixon practiced yesterday and coach Dixon said he "should" be OK to play--but the same paper said Dixon would play against USF, so I guess we'll see at 7 Eastern.

Also saw a stat hard to believe, this is the 179th basketball Brawl and the report said this was only the 4th time BOTH teams were ranked for a Brawl? That seems hard to believe, seems that would have happened a few times the past couple of years

Not only is this the 179th Backyard Basketbrawl, here are a few other tidbits relevant to tonight's game...

The last time both WVU and Pitt were ranked coming into the game (2/22/2006) No. 16 West Virginia prevailed 67-62 over No. 8 Pitt in Morgantown...

Da’Sean Butler needs 15 more points to pass Rod Thorn (1,786) for 5th place in career scoring for WVU. He already has the most career double-figure scoring games in school history.

And finally, with a win tonight Bob Huggins ties Ralph Miller (656) for 22nd winningest men’s basketball coach in NCAA history...

I wonder how mobile Dixon will be on that bum ankle. He could end up being a liability, if he plays. We'll find out soon enough, I figure..

Looking forward to watching. Sincerely hope the officiating doesn't suck as much as it did this past weekend.

If Jim Burr or Tim Higgins is a ref, it will be an officiating fiasco.

I still wonder why either has a job. The BEast has horrible officials in both football and basketball... 03-banghead

The Mountaineers are off to a great start, and Kilicli makes his debut with WVU leading 14-7...

And he promptly sunk a nice little left handed hook shot, and followed that up with another bucket...

WVU fans show their collective rear ends again by throwing things on the court. They need to move that student section. Something needs to be done. Starting to act like Hawaii's football fans.

I think Huggins has the right idea. Find the people doing it, point 'em out, throw 'em out, and let the Campus or Morgantown police with the jerk after that...

RE: Basketbrawl tonight - 7 PM at WVu
You missed an @sswhippin. So it's probably best for your sanity that you missed it. The big Turk looked good too. I think Huggins should've left him in longer on his initial appearance, while he was hot. But I have no real complaint, since we won...

We'll see you guys in Pittsburgh in 11 days to lay another whippin on ya... 05-mafia

Thats fine... Personally reg season college basketball almost never appeals to me. I don't care if Pitt wins or loses by 29. I'll catch a game here or there. We'll see how things work out in the Big East tourny.

RE: Basketbrawl tonight - 7 PM at WVu
I'm looking forward to The BEast and NCAA tourney myself. Kilicli looks like just what the doctor ordered for the Mountaineers. Pitt changed their defense whenever after his first appearance on the floor, and kept 2 huys on him in the middle. That helped open things up a good bit for everyone else. He's going to be a beast when he gets into game shape...

Certainly a butt kicking by WVu. Rematch at the Pete on Friday. At least the wrestlers won 19-15.

In the wrestling match Pitt had 2 ranked wrestlers go down to WVU. It was a good showing by both squads though...
