Um...I thought the goal was to put the ball through the hoop?

I'm friggin' dumbfounded. WVU basketball just began the most crucial stretch of games they've played all season, and last night at Villanova they found the worst possible way to mung it up. Maybe it was shooting 36% from the floor. Maybe it was going 2-20 from behind the arc (editor's note: bypass Reggie Miller's nomenclature). Maybe it was the total of 8 assists the team had all night. Whatever the case, WVU's tournament status is now in complete jeopardy thanks to a 78-56 loss at the Pavilion on Wednesday.

I know, I know. We've still got five regular season games left plus the league tournament (god willing) to prove ourselves...but honestly, who the F knows what's going to happen at this point. We've got to play at a surging UConn, plus we've got Pitt at home - and after the display we put on last night, DePaul, St. Johns, and Providence can't exactly be labeled automatic wins.

Here's hoping Huggy can rectify this situation before malaise sets in. Maybe he'll be able to do it without that horrific WV pullover or that blindingly hideous gold suit.

For those with strong faculties, here's the ESPN recap.
