WVU upsets Duke in second round of NCAA tournament!!!

Back


Title says it all; I watched the first 15 minutes of the game live, but recorded the rest because I had to go to work. After listening to the second half, I watched the last 25 minutes when I got home and threw together these highlights; I am still amazed how well our team played.

I wish I could've picked out some good stuff from Smalligan, who volunteered to start the game from the bench; John Flowers wasn't used alot in this one but is always a solid player; DaSean Butler played his heart out, and never stopped until he was pulled out; Darris Nichols played the point as well as anybody could ask of him, and knocked down some huge shots; Alex Ruoff's game was spot-on and he knocked down some amazing shots as well; and Joe Mazzulla was ice-cold as always, never stopping and making any plays that were there. And how about Cam Thoroughman pulling us through foul trouble, taking the role of the hero in the closing minutes?

And there's this guy, Joe Alexander... but most of all thanks to Bob Huggins, making all the right changes and leading us to victory over Duke!!!!

THANK YOU MEN!! LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS!!

(And let's not forget... we can make a run to the final four!! Our defense can stop Xavier and we can win as long as we're making our shots; and I recall writing a handful of W's next to UCLA in the last few years. Believe, people!!)

Wat's that, o ya now i remember. Duke lost to Michigan. Atleast we went somewhere in the ncaa tournament, and would have went farther if we didn't get crap refs. Duke's d couldn't stop john belein's offense. hint to u for next time: all they do is shoot threes. Infact most of Belein's players can't even dunk

That's cool, he's probably the most solid player on the team. Tough as hell and he's got a ton of heart.
