    As long as we're clear on the fact that WVa and Clemson and about two-thirds of the NIT field would (8 or 9 out of 10 times) whomp on two thirds of the NCAA field that got automatic bids.
    I'm talking about the Albanys, the Jackson States, Eastern Kentucky and those types of teams which "earned invitations" to the big dance.
    People come out screaming how the NIT is the 66th-rated team and down from there.
    That's inaccurate.
    WVa and Clemson were better overall than at least half of the at-large teams that "made" the NCAA dance.

    I believe Miss. State went off as a 1 1/2 point favorite.

    John Beilein's a helluva coach. Couldn't blame Michigan if they made a full-court press for the guy.

    By the same token, Bullies oughta be loaded next year. Stans has some decent freshmens, so we're told, on the way, to go with J. Gordon, Rhodes, the Delk twins, in addition to the present-day freshmens, Hansbrough and Stewart.

    Helluva shot by Stewart got lost in Nichols' 3-pointer to win it for West By God. Both teams played really well, but Mounties when it mattered ... at the end.

    Second-most wins for WVU in school history behind the Jerry West NCAA runners-up in 1959.

    I don't recall ever dishing any unsolicited hate and lies at people based on race, gender, class, geography, religion, etc.

    Stop with the lectures. The old Pitt fan in me went too far there. I've already deleted the post (and asked them to delete theirs so that there's no record of it) and offered apologies through PMs. Well, and now here. I apologize.

    Someone's a fucking baby.

    And no, fucking baby, that's not a West Virginia joke. Though it would also suffice.

    Since I've never hated on the South - at least not sober, though I could say a few things about Texans and their goddamn rebel flag and their flag in general - did I win the pool?
