Meg Bulger came back from a stubborn left knee injury to lead the Mountaineers past a stubborn Providence team 63-60. Yinka Sanni led the team with 20 points while LaQuita Owens scored 18. Providence guard Kendria Holmes had a career day against us. She scored 28 points as she nearly single-handily upset [...]

Being a Mountaineer fan is cruel isn’t it?
In the opening telecast of the Backyard Brawl, televised nationally on ESPN, the idiots from the Pitt student section, affectionately known as the Zoo, showed a sign that said simply “13-9″. Bad memories. As I type this report they’ll constantly remind us of another score.
“55-54″
West Virginia [...]

The WVU women’s basketball team should be well on their way to their school’s first ever Top 10 ranking as the Eers beat Seton Hall 70-42 at the Walsh Gym in South Orange, New Jersey.  This win gives head coach Mike Carey his first win at Seton Hall in his WVU coaching career.  LaQuita Owens torched [...]

When redshirted freshman Cam Thoroughman came into the game with 6:34 left in the first half, the Mountaineers were down by 12 and there was little hope they would ever recover from that controversial goaltending no-call last Saturday night. Cam’s high energy on the court plus his ability to contain the Friars frontcourt and steady [...]

Night games at Mountaineer Field are truly special.
Plummeting temperatures that dipped below 30 degrees didn’t stop over 60,000 fans from filling the stands to root on the Mountaineers against Louisville. The gold rush theme was evident and impressive. I could feel the energy radiating through the student section and all of Milan Puskar Stadium. Once [...]

Great example of the best and worst of WVU:
Worst:

Difficulty closing games
Trouble staying focused
Goofy play calling
Fumbles and penalties at crucial times

Best:

Pat White
Great Defense
Outstanding pressure on the quarterback

I don’t think the pollsters will look too favorably on this win (hopefully they went to bed when we were up 17), and hopefully they forget again [...]

I think this pretty much says it all. I like pictures better than words anyway. Enjoy.

 
EDIT: JWilson adds this

Also, if you feel WVU fans got messed over by missing the fourth quarter: here is ESPNs number: 1-860-766-2236 (open M-F noon to 5pm EST).

 I didn’t realize ESPN went to another game. That is BS!

Things are starting to shake out in the Big East finally. After a great 15 - 2 start to the season, the conference is starting to play like the rest of the league… as expected. Of course, you have to exclude Syracuse from this statement, they just suck.
WVU played very solid, although I was [...]
