I really don't like teams that foul on every possession knowing the refs won't call all the fouls. To me it's a team that doesn't have the talent to play it straight up.

Dont get me wrong I'll take it. But good lord boys, can we get a 10-pointer sometime?

Until Tuesday we had not won a game by less than 10. Try again.

This conferenec is going to be tough. West Virginia is one of the better teams in the conference so far. We weren't predicted to win this game.

Like I always say, refs don't do their job. Which leads to the players not being able to do their jobs. There is nothing I hate more than that kind of relationship in basketball and in life.

A 10-point win against one of the best teams in the conference? At their place? When the refs are calling fouls when we slap the air around WVU players? You're an idiot.

Man....what a great day.W

The WBB team has a comeback for the ages. The conference games go almost exactly like we would want them to---Kansas State wins and Texas loses.

And the men manage to win in a place that is really tough to win in and in doing that show the toughness that has maybe been missing a bit (I'll say that we all probably over-react a bit to the losses).

We'll move up in the rankings a bit next week and it will be a top 20 matchup in Hilton on Saturday.
