Odds have OK -6. I think that really shows what folks think about WV.
WV 18-3, 6-2
OK 14-7, 5-4
Revenge factor after the 21 pt loss @ Morgantown?
Must be what they are thinking.
STATS:
........ WV ..... OK
RPI ... 20 ....... 22
PPG .. 77 ....... 72.5
FG% .. .417 ... .442
FGA ... 64 ...... 59...
I saw TT play early in the year and even though they lost - I thought they looked good.
I really felt they would be very competative in conference and would improve.
I was wrong. If WV drops this game at home, they have serious problems.
If we win by by less than 10 - I will be surprised.
How...
So in the DIEHARD breakdown of last night's killer win (hope you got to watch it) he asked
the question, "Did you think WV would be 17-3 after 20 games?" My answer was no.
I did say I thought this team would lose 5 or 6 games - but I think I may need to revise a bit.
So I was pondering the...
Texas has lost to Kty, Stan, OK, OK St.
They have beaten.... ?? TX Tech?
This could be a long night for the horns unless WV plays a horrible game.
STATS:

PPG .. 78.8 .... 69.8
FG% .. .426 ... .436

Is it just me, or will this Saturday be Basketball mega-match up throw-down?
#4 Duke @ #6 LVL
#8 Utah @ #10 AZ
#9 Kan @ #11 Iw St
#16 WV @ #20 TX
#24 Ok St @ #18 OK
11 other games with a Top 25 team in action, some interesting match ups.
I can't spend the whole day watching but it should...
As I was starting to put the stats into this post, it occurred to me that none of the stats matter if WV can't score. That IW St game was painful to watch. To play that hard only to have it slip away because you can't get the little round ball into the little round hoop..... sad.
STATS...
IW State comes into Morgantown the first of 3 ranked teams WV will face in 7 days.
The Cyclones did beat a good OK St team and a ranked Arkansas team.
They lost to a good MD team and a not so good So CAR team.
WV lost to a very young LSU team due to a late game cold streak and LSU surge...
So I hear a lot of talk of WV coaches and their legacy - they were good, they sucked, losers - winners.
Blah-Blah, yada-yada..... so much BS in many cases.
:nod:
Much of it comes down to your individual opinion, but I thought I would toss out some facts and
hopefully clear some things up for...

NC St comes a calling this Saturday @ 9:30 est. On paper, these teams match up evenly.
WVU lost to a very young and talented LSU team - a game that should have been won.
NC St lost @ Purdue and @ home to Wofford by 1-point after having a 6-pt. lead with 3 mins left. Sound familiar?
Wofford is...

So here comes another test for WVU. I think based on both teams performance this year, WVU has the better team. At least WVU has performed better against the better competition. But I am not sure that guarantees a victory on Thursday night. WV seems to have performance issues against LSU...
AS WVU heads down the month of December to get ready for BIG12 conference play,
I see some very interesting games that will probably tells us how prepared this
team is for the season.
They have navigated through NOV @ 5-0, beating a not so good Boston College
team (barely) and putting a...

WVU has made it to the half-way point in the season and has a respectable 4-2 mark.
Two tough fought wins against 'Bama and OK. Should be talking about a split (1-1), but reality is a bitch.
With 6 more to go, some of them against very good teams, how does WVU finish...
I have been waiting for someone to start the thread for Saturday's game and haven't seen one - so here it is. I have seen a few comments in other threads, but I see this game as our "Make or Break" game. If WVU wins - they are set to compete for this conference's # 2 slot if not # 1 (a lot of...
I have a question to pose to the Mountaineer faithful - OK, 2 questions......
1: Why does there always seem to be so many fans of other teams posting comments on WVU threads?
Are they just Trolls - or do they have a valid interest in the subject matter?
2: Have you ever gone to...

As was the case back on the CBS message boards - WVU fans are tops on SportsHoopla as well.
To date, there are 288 threads (289 counting this one) opened by WV fans with 5,619 replies.
Oklahoma was close with 242 threads with only 2,367 replies. The rest of the Big12 had fewer
than 100 threads...
WVU seems to be coming together at the right time. 3 wins in a row with 8 more VERY critical games remaining. I say we need 20 wins to get invite to the big dance, so our seeding in the B12 tourney will be critical to our post-season success. Here is what remains and how I think we will do (I...
