Mountaineers Go To NIT Final On A Buzzer Beater!!

After missing three shots in a row that would have given them the lead, including two lay-ups off of offensive rebounds, WVU looked as if they might lose their semifinal against Mississippi State. MSU went to the free throw line (because the last missed shot by WVU resulted in a foul on the... Sign in to see full entry.

This Year's Final Four Is Set And Headed For Atlanta

Florida took out Oregon today in what looked to be leisurely fashion. They'll go on to play UCLA in the West semifinal matchup. And North Carolina just fell apart with about 10 minutes to go in their game, allowing Georgetown to come back to tie and force an overtime situation, where they simply... Sign in to see full entry.

All Four Number One Seeds Still In The Elite Eight

I may have given the NCAA selection committee hell for leaving out some great bubble teams, but they did a great job seeding the teams. Of the Elite Eight, all four No. 1 seeds made it. Of the other four teams still in it, three are No. 2 seeds and one is a No. 3. Now, that was good bracket... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, It Won't Be An All Big East Final In The NIT

Two of the three remaining Big East teams fell tonight as the final four bracket was set. Depaul fell to Air Force, 52-51, and Clemson outlasted Syracuse, 74-70. But you have to hand it to the Big East, the presented well. West Virginia is the third team from the Big East Conference and they're... Sign in to see full entry.

West Virginia, Bubble Teams Making NCAA Selection Committee Look BAD

Of the six teams left in the National Invitational Tournament, three are from the Big East. Two were bubbles teams that the NCAA selection committee "overlooked". One was not. West Virginia University took out N.C.State tonight, 71-66, making it into the semi-finals (the NIT's final four). They'll... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's Hear It For Cinderella

There's always the Cinderella factor when it comes to the Big Dance. It's just finding out who is going to put on the big glass basketball sneaker (or sneakers), not if. And we've already got a contender for the sneaker -- little Winthrop. And Winthrop didn't just say, "Hey, look at me. I barely... Sign in to see full entry.

2007 Madness Has Begun And Goodbye Duke!!

The first big upset of the tournament came today with Virginia Commonwealth edging out Duke, 79-77, in the first round of the NCAA Big Dance. Everything else, so far, has been predictable. Oh, and Louisville destroyed Stanford, 78-58. Did I not mention the fact that Stanford should have never gotten... Sign in to see full entry.

Tournament Set; WVU, Drexel, Syracuse, And Missouri St. Won't Dance

It was no surprise, really, when the NCAA Selection Committee rolled out their top four seeds: Florida, Ohio St., Kansas, and North Carolina. But as the automatic bids (31) were already in place and only 34 at large brackets to fill, the selection got a bit questionable and a lot of good teams were... Sign in to see full entry.

It Took Two Overtimes, But The Mountaineers Lose To Louisville

No. 15 Louisville gave up a 17-point lead in the second half of the game, giving WVU a chance to send the game into Overtime. That wasn't enough time, so they went into a second Overtime. Then Louisville decided enough was enough and defeated the Mountaineers 81-72. Now it's up to the NCAA selection... Sign in to see full entry.
