It looks like UConn is headed for another 9-9 record in the conference this year. They look dazed & confused. Lots of good athletes standing around waiting for something to happen, which never does. 19-16 (WVU) as of now.

Georgetown-Cincy on after, which I will watch inbetween all the SEC SPEED!!!

WVU is up by 5 at the half. The Mountaineers are making the poll voters who voted UConn in the top 25, and left WVU out, look like morons...

West Virginia is unranked but they are perhaps the hottest team in the Big East right now, outside of Syracuse.

UConn is just 11-19 from the field while WVU is 13-36.

I'll take the poor shooting percentage, especially if we continue to get nearly 2 shots for every one of UConn's...

Kevin Jones is simply a man.

WVU is killing UConn on the boards...

I don't like Bilas alone, but with Raft he becomes a lot more tolerable.

Not really, justin. Jay Bilas is still a biased idiot...

Really? I like Bilas but the combination of Raftery, Bilas and Mcdonaugh is the best in the business for college bball

biased towards?

It depends on who's playing, BB...

I like Bilas, but maybe that's because he tends to be biased towards SU.

UConn is bad this year. They've lost to so many, downright, horrible teams.

I think he is one of the best announcers because he actually knows stuff about the teams, he just doesn't recite talking points...

That I can agree with. Bilas alone, though, has no one to reign in his inherent Dukiness.

9-9 in the Big East isn't bad, it's disappointing.

9-9 in the Big 10 is bad.

Bilas has given UConn backhanded compliments in the past, like:

"It's amazing what they've accomplished in this little podunk town of Storrs. UConn has no right being a national power in BB like Duke, UNC, or Kansas".

That is not an exact quote, although it is what he meant. And I'll take Storrs over Durham any day.

I love how WVU has the mountain man mascot playing for the basketball team this year.

Who gives a crap about Bilas? We're supposed to be talking about the game. Not the broadcasters. That's like ESPiN's announcers talking about SEC games while they're announcing a BEast football game...
