this looks like an interesting matchup

i have not seen west virgina play all year but did pick pitt over them

does west virgina still chuck up a ton of threes?

how is there inside play specifically their reboundng?

[goldengoat]

pitt outrebounded them 38-21

Interesting game here indeed bud.

WV doesn't have the firepower like they did last year with Pitsnoggle shooting the 3's. However, they still are a fairly decent team this year. I doubt I end up playing this game at all, but i do have a slight lean towards the under 125.5

I'm with Dan, don't particularly like this game. However, I'd take UCLA. If their perimeter D plays well, they could easily cover.

Too many questions in this one:

1. Is Collison playing? If not, how will UCLA handle WVU's 1-3-1 defense?
2. Is UCLA ready to play an early game across the country against a WVU team that needs the win?
3. Will WVU make enough shots to offset the rebounding deficit they will certainly have?
4. What affect does Howland's past with Pitt have on this game?
5. Does revenge come into play, or is it good for WVU that they have confidence that they can beat the Bruins?

The early start for a West Coast team could mean trouble. Plus, WVa. made a decent rally after being way down against Pitt only to falter late. Look for them to play strong early and hope to get the crowd into it.

Think Wva. has a shot at the outright upset.

West Virginia almost blew a 19-point second half lead, but they hold on for the upset.

I still can't believe they blew that huge lead, but I'm still happy with the final result nonetheless.

Always good to see a Top 5 go down to a unranked.
