youda MAN, gotta give it to you...

3/17/2007 10:38:51 PM

we're 15-4 non-ACC

3/17/2007 10:39:50 PM

WV is playing great ball at this time, too. So many guys on their team can shoot the three, and they are not small unathletic white guys like Marist.

We can't have our lax times like we did against Marist. Still, that was a cool freakin' game to watch on TV.

3/17/2007 10:56:03 PM

any word on frank young's hamstring?

3/17/2007 10:58:19 PM

GO PACK!

PWN WV!

i bet he would know

3/17/2007 11:22:38 PM

It will definitely be a difficult game, but with the addition of Atsür and the general calm and team chemistry that his presence brings, I think we will be able to pull it off. So much of our team has matured into very smart, capable players and there is a fire and determination in this young squad that I have not seen in years. GO WOLFPACK!!!!

3/17/2007 11:37:15 PM

20 turnovers against marist says we are still pretty damn stupid

3/17/2007 11:39:15 PM

Glad they put this game at 9PM, since they womens game (assuming they beat Robert Morris tomorrow) will be at around 7PM Im sure. Would hate to have to switch back and forth...but a double header is pretty nice

3/17/2007 11:45:20 PM

^^ probably 10 from Grant and 10 from rest of team

3/18/2007 1:18:57 PM

bttt

3/18/2007 8:29:50 PM

we are better now, we have atsur back, and they are a lot worse than they were when they beat us.

We should be able to win, but being away might make this a lot tougher.

3/18/2007 8:35:55 PM

If we don't win this game I'll still consider it a successful season overall... but damn it'd be nice to make it to NYC to get our team some more experience in big games.

I'd almost rather play a tournament team on a neutral court than WVU on the road though... its gonna be a tough atmosphere i hope we come to play. Glad our guys got a little bit of rest this week.

3/18/2007 8:39:53 PM

i think im gonna be able to go to NYC if we win this

went last time we were there

[Edited on March 18, 2007 at 8:41 PM. Reason : do they still have a 3rd place game? it was kinda depressing]

3/18/2007 8:40:53 PM

I believe they do.

3/18/2007 8:46:24 PM

So what was this breaking news that we were suppose to hear about at 8am?

3/19/2007 12:57:39 PM

Lets go!

3/19/2007 1:38:43 PM

Let's go Wolfpack! We can go for the triumvirate:

- Virginia
- Virginia Tech
- West Virginia

3/19/2007 1:42:29 PM

They do have a consolation game, first part of the double-header with the NIT Championship game

3/19/2007 1:42:52 PM

How are they worse now than they were then? Looks like they've put up impressive offensive #'s in their two NIT games (avg 80+ pts) while we really havent (avg 67pts) ....
I think we are still pretty heavy underdogs, but then again we have won every game we played as an underdog (except ACC chmp) in the last 6 games.....

you do realize West Virginia is a separate state correct? A guy in my 12th grade rotc class thought it was part of the state of virginia, I had to get him to ask a woman that worked at burger king on the WV turnpike before he finally conceded that WV was a separate state, please tell me you aren't that stupid

3/19/2007 3:37:17 PM

GO STATE!

3/19/2007 3:41:29 PM

He could be simply asserting that West Virginia was illegally carved out of Virginia by Lincoln, thus is still part of Virginia.

3/19/2007 3:44:11 PM

GO PACK!
