Mountaineers earn the first Sweet 16 berth of the tournament.

Whoo hoo! Go WVA. Love seeing Beetle in the mix.

 

Fun fact--WVA's Lamont West used to play AAU ball back in middle school with James Bolden, started at Withrow high school then went to a prep school in Atlanta.

Picked West Virginia to make it to the Sweet Sixteen.

Bolden didn't play today.

Very solid performance from WVU today. They looked good.

You are correct.

I had Notre Dame. Not broken hearted over the loss.

WVU looked very methodical today and hit every open shot it seemed. Crazy from behind the line, if not for their 3 point shooting today ND may have been able to get over the hump of getting close, but 3 after 3 fell and just sucked the wind out of the Irish. ND attempted more 3's than 2's which is exactly what WVU wants teams to do, WVU IMO played a near perfect game today.

Love ND but did not think this was one of their better teams recently. Why the teams in the ACC can't figure out how to beat them consistently in the regular season I don't know. But knew this was going to be a bad matchup for them because WV is pressure and more pressure. They are not the most consistent team but when they are "on" they get the job done.

Looked very good. They hung tough the whole game answering every run the Irish made. Huggins coached a good pressing game.

 

I did not realize Huggins was in Pee Wee's Big Adventure

Because the ACC isn't as good as the media says it is.

Gotta be best defensive team right now. It drives their offense. Hope they beat Gonzaga!
