RE: KSR: What Kentucky Fans Need to Know about West Virginia
There was trash talk in the media by one of the players from WV.

RE: KSR: What Kentucky Fans Need to Know about West Virginia
I've got to admit, That was the Ugliest basketball game I've seen in a long time. The Refs sure knew how to put the Thump in thump .every 10 seconds the whistle blew for something. In the Future Refs, Let the guys play and stay out of the way and You won't get knocked down again.

What Kentucky Fans Need to Know about West Virginia
Quote:Brandon Priddy writes for The Smoking Musket, West Virginia’s SB Nation site, but he’s also a huge Kentucky and KSR fan. Brandon describes himself as a “weird hybrid WVU / UK fan” who grew up in West Virginia cheering for the Mountaineers but went to school at UK in Lexington, where he became part of the Big Blue Nation. He now cheers for both and this week, is understandably torn.

Brandon was nice enough to give us this excellent preview of the Mountaineers. For more of his insight, check out The Smoking Musket and follow him on Twitter @abpriddy.

Hello there. You don’t know me but I know you. Heck I am you. Only I’m also them. See, I’m in a really weird spot this week. I grew up (and remain) a huge WVU fan, but I went to school in Lexington and also love my alma mater. What happened is they don’t have any architecture schools in West Virginia but I really wanted to be one so luckily the wonderful folks at Kentucky took me in. By my roots are my roots and I can’t quit you WVU. So here I sit with dual allegiances and for the 3rd time in 6 years the NCAA Tournament Committee has decided to make my life more difficult. Thanks guys. This wasn’t a problem for a decade then you come along and now you’ve made this a thing. Wonderful.

With all that said, I thought that I’d use my unique perspective to give the Big Blue faithful some insight on this Mountaineer squad.

You Will Hate WVU

You are going to hate West Virginia by midnight Thursday. Absolutely detest them. It pains me to say it but you will. They’re annoying and they do things nobody else does and if they were your team you’d love them but they are not so you will despise them. Imagine a team made up of 13 DeAndre Ligginses. That’s what West Virginia is.

You hate WVU cause they get all up in your business. They plop themselves down on your couch, put their feet up on your coffee table and scatter the candy dish. They put their arm around your wife and ask your daughter how old she is. They eat the last of your favorite bag of chips, ask to use your bathroom and are in there for a LOOOONG time. They make you uncomfortable, they make you squirm and at some point you find yourself counting the minutes until they are gone. Eventually you want to punch them. They want to frustrate you. They want to rattle you. They want to break you.
Just follow the link to get the full story.

Yeah boy, the Mountaineers got up into Kentucky's grill alright. The one right between the headlights of that Kenworth the Cats were driving.

Those 2 early questionable calls on Devin Williams sure put a crimp in how WVU played. He's the key man for the Mountaineers. Once he was saddled with foul trouble less than 2 minutes into the game, the game was pretty much over. That threw WVU's game plan out the window, and Huggs had to adjust on the fly. That was no adjustment that would work either.

Sometimes you just run into a more talented team - and get your butt kicked. It's happened many times before, and will happen many times again. Time to move on.
