Big game for the Mountaineers returning home after losing two in a row. Got a wake up call at St. John's and then got screwed with the goaltending at Syracuse. Pitt is really not a very good basketball team. I see a motivated West Virginia squad dominating this game with their bigs.
If Pitt doesn't beat Georgetown saturday they are likely at least a 9 or maybe even 10 point dog here so I think we are getting great value with WVU. They have traditionally been a very strong home team especially in conference play.
I'm not worried about a letdown following the tough loss to Cuse... The Backyard Brawl needs no extra motivation and these kids will be ready.
GL WVU backers. Let's get this.
