WVU knocked off Duke today to earn a spot in the Sweet 16. In the post game radio coverage they mentioned that the team would be traveling back to Morgantown tonight via bus and if people wanted to meet them they should be at the Coliseum at 10:00.

Jason and I showed up just before 10:00 and only had to wait a couple minutes before the bus pulled up. I was a bit underwhelmed by the crowd. I’d say that maybe 50 to 100 people showed up. Much less than previous seasons.

Anyway, as a result of the small crowd I was able to meet one of my favorite Mountaineers, Joe Alexander.

Thanks to Jason for the picture.

WVU is back in the NCAA tournament where it belongs. We play Thursday night at 9:40pm EST on CBS.

Man do I love Giant Eagle Fuel Perks. I filled up my Jeep with premium for free.

You don’t see a receipt like this everyday:

Last night I witnessed the worst WVU basketball in my lifetime. WVU lost 62-39, at home!! WVU hasn’t scored less than 40 points since February 6, 1980. This was the 2nd lowest scoring game for WVU at the Coliseum. According to the box score we only made 11 shots. We were 10/50 from the field, and 1/22 from the 3 point line. If we had not gone 18/24 from the free throw line (10/10 from Nichols alone), we would have been ever worse off. I’m not not sure what was wrong, but I hope we can shake it off and get back to playing ball like I know we can.

If any good game out of the game it is that coach Huggins got a new gold suit. This man has quite the sense of style.

ESPN posted the question “Who do you believe in the Rodriguez – WVU fight?”

I’m glad to see that most of the voters agree that Rodriguez is to blame.
