First things first. The games are as follows (all times ET):

Midnight: West Virginia at Gonzaga
2 a.m.: Davidson at New Mexico
4 a.m.: Houston Baptist at Hawaii
6 a.m.: Stony Brook at Rider
8 a.m.: Northern Illinois at Valparaiso
10 a.m.: Harvard at Massachusetts
12 p.m.: Temple at Kent State
2 p.m.: Detroit at St. John’s
4 p.m.: Butler at Xavier
7 p.m.: Michigan State vs. Kansas (Champions Classic, Georgia Dome -- Atlanta)
30 minutes following MSU/KU: Duke vs. Kentucky (Champions Classic)

Well I'll definitely be tuned in at 7pm.

Imagine that...

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out...

Sounds like a beginning to a good song.

Maybe Huggy Bear will remind the team of the past so that it will not happen again.

I'm curious to see what starting lineup WVU comes out with. There are some interesting possibilities...

If none of our transfers pan out then i have pretty low expectations for this season. Huggs recruiting has been nothing short of a letdown every high ranking player we get cant qualify or gets in trouble

PS Pat Forsythe is transfering and we were already thin on bigs. Not that he was a force at all or much of a contributor (season high 4 points)

Don't worry about the transfers. I've got a feeling they're going to be the least of Huggs' worries...
