Let’s take a break from this Chinese fire drill known as Mountaineer football and look forward to a potentially big season for the West Virginia Mountaineer Basketball team. Thanks to the success of a near improbable run to the Sweet 16, Coach Huggs is poised to led his troops to a potential Final Four appearance. [...]

Well, it certainly has been a while since I’ve been on here to share thoughts and insight into the world of WVU’s sports programs, and I have thought when I got the chance to sit down and write again I wanted it to be something big.
Well today, that something big happened.
I was interviewed on live [...]

What’s harder than realizing that West Virginia will not make it to the Elite Eight is the fact that I have to blog about this roller-coaster ride of a game but for you, Mountaineer Nation, I must.
Missed free throws, the ones that plagued the Eers in losses to Oklahoma, Georgetown, and Pittsburgh, are the big [...]

Well, as I’ve been saying for the past few weeks about the West Virginia Women’s Basketball program, the late season slump was going to be there undoing. This senior-laden team, seven in all, had Sweet 16 potential all season. I mean they beat Rutgers this season. But a cop-out of a draw [...]

They will now face the Duke Blue Devils who barely got by the [...]

While it was tough to watch at times, budding superstar Joe Alexander and Da’Sean Butler carried the rest of the Eers to the second round. WVU beat the pesky Providence Friars 58-53. WVU will now face the 4th seeded Connecticut Huskies tomorrow.
Alexander led the team, yet again, with 22 points including making all four foul [...]

West Virginia from the very start forgot how to play good basketball as the 7th seeded Louisville Cardinals jumped out to a 20-3 lead and never look back as they upset 3rd seeded and 18th ranked WVU Mountaineers by the score of 67-60.  After the Cards had a 20 point halftime lead and where up [...]

Knowing that St. John was not going to go to the Big East Tournament next week not to mention they were playing in front of a sparse crowd at the world’s most famous arena you would think the West Virginia Mountaineers would stomp them all day. When WVU was up 23-12 with about 10 minutes [...]
