Pittsnogle finishes with 24. His tattoos still suck.
Gomes with 20 and 7.

Me thinks WVU just locked up a spot in the field. Nice RPI...good wins...finishing strong...a couple quality road and neutral floor wins.
They have a MUCH better profile than ND does even if they win tonight against Rutgers. Trust me on this one.

[WVU has] a MUCH better profile than ND does even if they win tonight against Rutgers. Trust me on this one. Agree completely. The big difference is out of conference schedule. WVU won all their games before league play started. Got wins over LSU, NC State, GW. Notre Dame's OOC schedule includes only one quality win, over Indiana. ND also lost to Michigan and DePaul in that time frame. Also, even with the loss to SHU, WVU right now has more momentum than ND going into the tournament. They have a better record over their last 10. (7-3 vs. 5-5) |

Is an Indiana team with a 15-12 record and an RPI of 73 really a quality win? Not in the Top 50 qualifier the "experts" use...If we were to count top 75 wins OOC, we would beat them in spades.

That being said, I'm real surprised this was so lopsided. I thought WVU wasn't really as good as their record, and I thought Providence was way better than their record. Guess that's all out the window now. |

(7-3 vs. 5-5) I think you have to believe that if Gtown wins tonight, that we are back on the outer edge of the bubble, especially with WV looking so impressive. We would have beat the last team to win against them and be the team that beat them before that. All that being said, I'm doing my part for the Hoyas tonight by staying as far away from the Garden as possible. Hoyas are 0-3 in games I have seen at the Garden (but all of them have been against SJU). |

WV was bombing from outside...shot over 50% from the field and still managed to get 30 points from threes. They were on fire.

Yeah, ya got me. I was being generous with my definition of quality win for the sake of argument because 2 of WVU's "quality wins" aren't really all that quality either (GW and NC State). |

Maybe they're not quality wins, but I do think they're all wins that will relevant to committee discussions. West Virginia, ND, NC State, Indiana, and GW will be discussed on Sunday. All things being equal (and they aren't) West Virginia would have a step up on the other bubbles by having beaten two of them.
