When you are the #1 ranked team they are all scary. You will get everyone's best effort. Who doesn't want to knock off #1?  Next month and a half will be nerve racking. Can't wait for UK though.

Yesterday I saw where we were 17 point favorites.....Don't see that myself.

That's a crazy number. They're peaking (just beat Kansas) and we've looked the worst we have all season these past 2-3 games. Hopefully the bookies know something we don't, because it sounds like they're begging people to take the points.

Dang..I think I would take the points.

WVU, at least so far this season, hasn't had very good half court D. They also haven't been very effective scoring in their half court offense. Their pressing D they haven't employed as much because it hasn't been really productive either (compared to past WVU teams).

As I've said in other threads, I think Huggins will spread us out defensively and try to penetrate because it has worked against us the past several games. I'm not sure, however, if this WVU team can be effective doing that - they aren't nearly the guard-oriented team that they've been in the past few seasons.

If we defend and are patient in our offense, I think we should get a W.

EDIT: They played their best game of the year, in probably all respects, against Kansas.

WVU has lost 6 of their last 7. 4 of which was on their home court. They did beat Kansas by 1 on their home court. I think we win by double digits.
