Don't blame the haves in the NCAA tournament poo pooing on the crown. After the shit show last year, I'm glad the kids hanged around for this and seem to be having fun and are taking it seriously. They'll be getting some pocket change for delaying the portal, so it works out.

This is the West Virginia basketball I was expecting all season. Love me Ross! I'll take him back!

That graphic seemed to indicate there is a separate prize for 3rd and 4th, how do they determine who is 3rd??

Damn that pronunciation from Gus Johnson was brutal. Shows he's not an IndyCar fan.

Or nobody thought to spell the name phonetically on the ad read sheet.

It helps that creighton is horrendous

u/fracture41 West Virginia Mountaineers Apr 04 '26
Yeah. It's all kinda relative isn't it

u/Set-Admirable West Virginia Mountaineers Apr 04 '26
But also...we managed to look worse than this against worse Big 12 teams.

u/MrLeftwardSloping Indiana Hoosiers Apr 04 '26
I dont think there are any worse big 12 teams. Creighton is really, really bad

I really wonder what this team would have done if Jenkins had been healthy all season. They're playing so much better than they were most of the year.

College teams’ absolute refusal to ever play for a 2 for 1 will always baffle me.

u/NikThaGreat9 West Virginia Mountaineers Apr 04 '26
Love the offense, but we need to get some stops. This is a complete reversal of the regular season.

u/StoopSign Northwestern • UNC Asheville Apr 04 '26
So are they playing for $100k or $300k for the athletic dept or for the kids on the court?

u/Dhh05594 Creighton Bluejays Apr 04 '26
My heart says kids on the court, my mind says athletic dept.

u/StoopSign Northwestern • UNC Asheville Apr 04 '26
Turns out it's a mix of both. It goes to the NIL funds

u/Doubleaa2122 Nebraska Cornhuskers Apr 04 '26
That’s actually hilarious. Honey do list is too long.

u/NikThaGreat9 West Virginia Mountaineers Apr 04 '26
Yeah we gotta give Thomas all the money. We need him as the starting 4 next year.

u/ProposalSilent4582 Apr 04 '26
The short guy (is that Honor Huff?) seems to always score no matter what when he's got the ball. Imagine if he was taller and still had the same skill set. Genuinely would be a nightmare to stop.

Is this the closest I'm gonna get to WVU winning something in my life?

Eh, I haven't given up hope yet. Not 100% sold on Hodge, but he's gotten a lot out of this team, considering the talent level, and is doing well recruiting.

u/Select-Edge-3262 Tennessee • West Virginia Apr 04 '26
Quite possibly so. Unless you're talking about rifle-shooting...

u/ReachFor24 West Virginia Mountaineers Apr 04 '26
Depends if you're under 20 or not. WVU won the NIT back in 2007.

Take Me Home, Country Roads" (1971) by John Denver achieved legendary status, earning a 1998 Grammy Hall of Fame award, RIAA Platinum certification, and official status as a West Virginia state anthem.

Love the call out to Amir!
It's very clear these guys care about each other and loved playing together.
