Man, the BE is one tough league. Was the game on national tv?

11-5 or 10-6 might win the league this year. Hell our goal is just to go 8-8 this year. In basketball it is truly a BEast.

Agreed - this league is gonna be brutal. But it will make the teams we send to the tournament all the more battle-tested.

You are right Maize, I think if you pick up a win on the road in this conference especially one in philly that has to say something. We just have to protect our house, and possibly steal a game or two on the road. We have to turn around and go back to philly the 21st. 11-5 just might win this league.

-- suprisingly no....It was on TV in PA and WV......not a bad win for a bball team that one of the Cincy papers just called the most disappointing in the BE (tough league when the most "disappointing team" is riding an 8 game win streak)

Good job West Virginia!

(Of course my motives are selfish as right now we are still in the conference race.) 8-)

I wonder how the "unbalanced" schedules will play into the conference race.

Wow jackson I can't believe a cincy paper would say that. West Virginia and Villanova were the two teams I was scared to see UofL play this season because both teams have great shooters. Ever since that elite 8 game last year you know what WVU is capable of. If you try to out shoot them you will more than likely get buried in the sand. I hope when we go to Morgantown we can avoid the 3's like the first half of the elite 8 game last year. I still can't believe you guys hit that man damn 3's on us last year.LOL This conference right now is very wide open, winning in philly is certainly impressive I must say. Villanova is a very tough team plus you guys came from behind which is even more impressive. I just hope we can go 9-7 in this conference. Especially with our young team who is getting much better I must say. Its been some great BE games so far and alot of them have gone down to the final seconds.

this WVU team has incredible guts. they don't give up.

Thats the sign of a veteran team, thats one thing we had last year. Killer instinct and guts is a true sign of a team that has been there before. I'm certainly not looking forward to the game in Morgantown.LOL

It just goes to show you that team ball still wins out. WVU has a well coached team, without any stars, and is capable of beating anyone when they all play together.

-- WVU has had the UL game circled on the calender since practice began...in the WVU locker room...there is a giant poster of the Cardinal players celebrating after the Elite 8 game last March with the words " Remember how it felt" in giant print
