If you tuned in for the duration of the WVU/Texas game on January 9th, 2013, you deserve this win. You deserve it much more than any of the teams that actually played in the game due to the fact that I firmly believe it could be in the Top Ten of worst college basketball games ever televised. WVU, at one point, was 0-14 from beyond the arc including having a mere 29 points in 30 minutes of game play. That being said, the Mountaineers went 19-62 (30.6%) from the field that that’s before a weird barrage of 21 points in the last four minutes sparked by…. a three from Kevin Noreen.
This three started a 10-0 run from the Mountaineers tying the game and forcing a Texas timeout with 86 seconds left. Any recording of the basketball that came before the Noreen three should be immediately burned, shot, drown, and burned again. Both teams were awful. AWFUL. The hell with it. I’ll move on.

this encapsulates exactly what I was thinking/feeling in watching what appeared to be a basketball game. the officials whistled the game like a Capital Classic and the bricks were flying. so hard to watch.
Yep, very hard to watch.
I guess we could maybe try to look at it as a turning point in the season… a stepping stone from which the team might start playing better and winning more. But, it was awful that I’m not sure that’s the case.
At the very least, it proved that wins might fall into our lap if we just keep fighting.
i HOPE it is a turning point, but have a wait and see with this team. the O (if there is one) is so unimaginative.
it was a perfect storm – Texas has a young team that plays really good D against our young team which can’t score on a good night.
