It would benefit us more for WVU to win:
1.) Validates our win
2.) We don't want teams in the Big 12 that are competing for the crown, like OU, to steal road games. OU's chances decrease if they lose this game. Not sure how much WVU's would increase.
I'm all for the teams we have a head to head advantage against winning, this should be a great game. Even tho its just January, this is already a huge game for WV. Home losses to 2 contenders will be tough to overcome. IMO even with OU coming off of a loss, the pressure is on WV.
Only 2 games where both teams are ranked, and both are Big 12. But is this game really on ESPN News?
I'll tell you one thing- I'm grabbing some popcorn and watching this one. I love college basketball. Should be a great game.
