Amazing how these teams play, when it counts...

You cant tell me this West Virginia team was the 6th best team in the Big East....

Why didnt they shoot like this all year?

If they keep this up, there is no way Louisville will be able to beat them...

I guess thats the key, can they keep it up......

But just odd that all of a sudden, now that the tourney has started, they cant miss, yet they were barely .500 in their conference....

I just said the EXACT same words in a post and to myself...how the hell are they just able to turn it on all of a sudden. I know they started out the season real good, but they sucked for most of the rest of it till the Big East tourney.. Amazing

its all about getting hot at the right time!~

its almost funny at this poiint.....it doesnt matter who shoots it, or from where, it goes in....

They just shot a 3, hit the front of the rim, and goes in.....

I think its in the stars today, not gonna be a Louisville win....

Many times from 3 land. I haven't cared as much for cbk since the inception. I think it takes away fundamental ball and makes weaker teams have a chance, deserving or not in a hot 3 point shooting game, no matter how better the higher quality team tries.

Bucsfan,

WV changed their lineup and how they played for the first 3/4 of the season until they found what worked for them and then they went on the run that they had....

Happens with a handful of teams every year....Season stats look crappy until you look from say February on and then you see what teams made adjustments from the first half of the year and get hot even though their record or season stats don't represent that....

This is what makes it such a good time to bet. The good teams play better instead of losing on the moneyline.

thanks for the info, but alot of the talk about WV was how they were 10-0 at one point, and had backed in.....

So with that logic, the lineup switch would not be the reason for them being so tough at the end.....

But i see what u mean, and they finally started to cool off a little in second half, guess they just "caught lightning in a bottle" for a few games..

Either way it was an impressive run, for a team that was on the bubble..

I don't hold much weight with early season games...When WV got into the Big East games they struggled and that is when they started to mess around with the lineup alot until they struck gold in February...
