West Virginia is the 2 seed in the East (Syracuse) Region and will play Morgan St. in Buffalo on Friday.
You can get a copy of the NCAA Tournament Bracket here.
My first impression is that I like the region that we are in. All locations that we will play in will be close so we should have a contingent of Mountaineer faithful there (Buffalo, Syracuse and Indianapolis if we make the Final Four).
I also like the potential match-ups. I do not see a team in this region that we can’t beat and I’m not convinced that Kentucky will even make the regional final (they are a young team; 60% of their offense comes from freshmen).
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not discounting Morgan St. in the 1st round. We’ll have to come out prepared, but it’s certainly a team that we should beat (of course, we “should” have beat Dayton last year and you see how that went).
Overall, I am pleased with how things turned out and look forward to getting started.




glad someone is happy, i’m down here in ACC land, & can’t wait to listen to the radio shows tomorrow & hear everyone talk up the ACC’s chances, I’ll be calling in a few of them to tell the blue devil to shove it of course, where the sun don’t shine, they are overrated & don’t deserve the #1 seed they got…GO WVU
I don’t know… I don’t like having Marquette in our bracket.
