i can argue better athletes all day long with you. WVU is a top 15 team, and when playing at home top 15 teams don't lose. Sure UCONN has elite ahtletes, and may rival UNC for the most talented team in the country, but every single player WVU will put out there is just as talented. The home court in Morgantown is the 'X' factor. It is one of the toughest places to play, and with this talent they should protect it.
*cough* Georgetown *cough*
Yea Homedawg hasn't watched West Virginia this year...
huh? I probably have watched WVU more than most. The games they struggled offensively are the games they were without Ruoff. Sure they don't score a lot in the paint, but last time I checked Thabeet wasn't an offensive machine. They actually have been on a nice roll scoring the ball since Ruoff's return. With him, and Butler they form a pretty talented 1-2 scoring tandem. They may be 2 of the most unhearlded stars in the country. Also Truck Bryant has helped alleviate the loss of Mazzula at the point. Mazzula may be a little better defensively at this time in Truck's career, but Bryant is much better offensively. He should more than hold his own against Price, and Walker. Devin Ebanks compliments everyone wonderfully as well. He dominates the glass, and does a lot of the dirty work for this team. Finally there is no denying that Huggins gets the absolute most out of his talent. This team leaves none on the floor, and playing in Morgantown they are special.
I am already on Siena. Thanks though.
Damn your that high on WVU? I think they are a nice Big East team but I can't figure out how they get by UConn, Syracuse, Pitt, Gerogetown, Notre Dame, and Louisville (if they ever right the ship). Plus you got wildcards like Villanova and Marquette, can't see WVU finishing higher then 5th. Could be wrong. We will see what they are made of tonight for sure.
very high. check out my posts in the pre season. my sleeper teams were syracuse, wake, and wvu. i have futures on all them at a very nice price. wvu really doesn't have a weak link. I guess it could be scoring the ball, but they have been doing that just fine recently . They went into Columbus and hung 80 on one of the better defensive teams in the country. Same against Miami Oh, another great defensive team. Just think about this team, and tell me where their weakness is? Plus you can never discount the intensity they play with. Huggins demands it from them and they deliver more times than not.
