WVU basketball is actually a wagon. On a 7-0 on Gonzaga rn. 43-40 with 16 min left in the 2nd half.

No matter the outcome for WVU:
Holding the Zags under 70….win
Having a lead in the second half after being down 10….win
Battling with #3 in the country…..win
Yeah, that's where I'm at. Our basketball team seems to be headed in the right direction!!!!

This WVU team is fun to watch. They play really good complementary basketball. Could be a dangerous team in the big 12 in what seems to be a really deep conference, again
