WVU overcame Hightower and ESPN’s so-called pundits to beat Duke »

There were a lot of issues complicating this game even before tipoff. First of all, the second most hated man in West Virginia, Doug Gottlieb, picked West Virginia to win. That’s literally the kiss of death for us. Next, Coach K and their so-called star players Greg Paulus, DeMarcus Nelson, and McDonald’s All-American freshman Kyle […]

Breaking down the Dookies! »

Well, I only wish the Mountaineers were 40 minutes away from going to Phoenix against the 15 seed Belmont Bruins. Thanks to Gerald Henderson that didn’t happen so now the Eers must play 40 minutes of solid basketball against ESPN darlings the Duke Blue Devils. The good thing about West Virginia is that […]

Bring on the DOOKIES! »

Leave it to senior Darris Nichols, junior Alex Ruoff, and sophomore Da’Sean Butler to make the crunch-time buckets when needed as WVU pulled away from the Arizona Wildcats 75-65 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at the Verizon Center.

I can’t wait for this one, revenge is the name of the tournament for the Mountaineers and we have a big chip on our shoulder when it comes to G’town. How can we forget this:

My Predictions:

I’m a little concerned that the guys […]

Live Blog: Big East Tourney - WVU vs. UCONN »

Ok I thouhgt I would try this since I took a looooong lunch and have my fingers crossed going into the last 7 minutes of the game vs. UCONN.
