Final Four
There is no doubt West Virginia women’s basketball team will be in the Big Dance as a possible 3rd or 4th seed plus a likely first-round bye in the Big East Tournament. The West Virginia men’s team are on a tournament bubble the size of big league chew.
Ever since the loss to Oklahoma, we […]

The first half of the game showed the casual basketball fan what Big East Basketball is all about. Physical play up and down the court for 20 minutes. The two teams nearly came to blows a couple times. In the second half, a Wellington Smith spike jump started a 21-4 second half run to throw […]

West Virginia got the better end of the Villanova Wildcats this time around. The 13th-ranked women jumped out to a 22-2 lead and never looked back as they cruise to a 76-55 victory.
With the win West Virginia is now 11-2 in the conference. UPDATE: With the sPittsburgh Panthers losing to Marquette tonight 76-69 the Mountaineers […]

Friars

WVU
For the fourth and final time this season the West Virginia men’s and women’s basketball team will play a doubleheader at the WVU Coliseum. The 13th-ranked women’s team will play sharp-shooting Villanova while the men’s team will take the nightcap as they play the Providence Friars in a rematch from earlier in the month.
The […]

This just in to wvmountaineersports.com.  Senior starting guard LaQuita Owens has been suspended from the women’s basketball team indefinitely by coach Mike Carey for violation of team rules.  This is a crushing blow to the 13th ranked team as the regular season is winding down.  Owens for the season averages 13.7 points a game and shoots […]

Ed Pastilong
Eddy P is going to hit the road and retire in 2010 and then serve 2 years in a transitional role.
More details here.
Some people are going stand up and cheer with this news. Some will think there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel. Some will say too late, the damage […]

Bling Bling
All I can really do is just sit, sigh, and wonder what these guys thought when they were at Club Z Saturday night. It seems a bit of a confrontation happened with two other WVU students inside the club that transpired into a fight, and the situation is being investigated. Both parties were ordered […]

The following is a postgame rant not an actual game summary (who really cares about this one, right?)
Looks like Hunsi Sangarie got the better end of a beatdown than the West Virginia basketball team did. Tonight’s blowout loss mirrored eerily similar to the one that happened on January 5, 2005 at The Pavilion. […]

WVU
In order for the Mountaineers to continue on their quest to the NCAA Tournament they must win some road games against lesser competition. I’m not saying Villanova sucks but with their dominant-guard play and little frontcourt presence West Virginia should be able to win at The Pavilion.
Villanova has not lost at The Pavilion this […]

New Coaches
I have to start this column off with saying I have read what some of our brothers and sisters out in Mountaineer land have said regarding our new staff, as well as those that call themselves “analysts”.
First of all, the majority of “analysts” never have good things to say about West Virginia sports period. […]
