Jones not being a unanimous choice for player of the year is the bad sign. The kid's going to get cheated in the same way Geno Smith did.

I expected it. They've been writing slanted stories about it for a while now...

Not surprised by this at all. First it was Geno, now KJ. The "Big East machine" is in full go mode. Time to cut the losses and get out. Big XII, here we come!

He deserves it that's for sure - he has carried the team on his back most of the season. If he does not get it, it is out of spite. One thing is for certain; however, he is going to get an ultimate prize of a nice, fat first round NBA contract.

If not for KJ, WVU would have been playing today and would need to win the BET to make the NCAA tourney...

I believe you are spot on.

Just found this board..........my first post on our Big 12 Board!



I guess this is probably a safer place to talk about KJ getting screwed. Its a shame, but I'm not surprised.

There should be no surprise. Most members of the ongoing Big East will be influenced to some extent that WVU will be leaving. Call me paranoid but I think the officials have also been influenced as the Mountaineers finished off their last season in Big East.

All of that garbage is over now though. If (and that might be a big if) the Mountaineers play in the tournament I it is time to turn the page and root for them and all the members of the Big 12.
