Here's a good article from the Kentucky Sports Radio website, giving Kentucky fans a heads up about WVU style of play, written by Kentucky grad and WVU blogger, Brandon Priddy.
Enjoy.
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.

Was he trying to make UK fans look refined? I've seen firsthand "Big Blue Nation" at a game and they're everything BUT refined.

Using his words, UK fans will burn your couch, destroy your coffee table throw the candy dish, _u_k your wife and your daughter, then go seek their "closest cousin".

The fans don't deserve this team or Coach Cal.

Remember, you can't spell _u_k without "UK"

What's Virginia is a pretty good team but I think Kentucky is going to handle them easily. I do not believe that the Mountaineers match up well with the Wildcats.

Now, if WVU can force Kentucky to play a half-court game and shoot the ball from the outside, they have a decent chance to pull off the upset. However, if WVU presses UK, I think they will have similar success to what Arkansas had when they tried to press the Wildcats up and down the floor. Kentucky won both of those games in blowouts.

I preferred the 30 minutes of Clay Travis on Finebaum's radio show where Clay wrote an article talking about how UK and WVU's fan bases were the dumbest to ever enter the sweet sixteen and took on callers. Pure troll move and he "manned up" to them over the radio.

Fact: me taking calls on @finebaum is the most entertaining 30 minutes of sports talk radio in 2015. Enjoy: http://bit.ly/1CeXzMM

I think Huggins is going to take Cal to the woodshed. The streak ends tonight.

I think we can safely scratch that idea. Kentucky can't miss, inside or outside. And WVU is having trouble seeing the basket.

This is shaping up to be a blood bath.

Ah well. It happens.

There's always next season.

It's not over yet. I mean it's o-ver but not over.

I took the under 135. One team has 18 points at half and I'm still gonna be sweating this.

UK apparently didn't need to know chit.

This isn't even fair.

oh well. Next time don't poke the wildcat and maybe keep it within 20.

Sometimes freshmen are dumb.

That was a good old butt whipping.

On to FB.

Ouch

The biggest mistake Kentucky made last night was that they didn't take West Virginia lightly enough.
