I thought it was funny that in the same segment they talked about beer sales.  Would think Huggins would have something to say about that, too.

What's with the black floppy hat on the guy next to Huggins?

I like how they included a clip with Frozena passing the ball (0:22 mark).

While Marquette has won two in a row in this series, the Eagles have never won in Morgantown, going 0-for-4.

No word on whether Big 12 has any rules on the sale of Moonshine in the stands...(My bet is the guy in the hat is named "Jed" or something like that)

They used 3 years of footage of DJO hitting 3's...and I love the green screen use.

He just came back from the hills after tending to his moonshine still.

Wow, you can really tell this is the state of West Virginia.

The sports anchor is wearing a flannel shirt and blue jeans.

Buzz and Huggins are interviewed together this morning on West Virgina Metro News.  Buzz states Huggins is best coach in Big East and always showed him respect, even at a time when he hadn't earned it:

Listening to the players in that though makes me nervous.  Even though MU is the better team WVU is backed into a corner, a must win situation, and they are at home...makes me very nervous.

This is my concern.  Huggins along with the players being backed into a wall, having been embarassed in the 2nd half at ND, needing a win for the tourney, on a 6 out of 8 game slide.  MU is the better team and playing well.  If MU get's out like they did the past two games, I think we can break them.  If not, it could be a nail biter.

Huggins v. Buzz.  Who can be more self-denigrating and homespun.

Would be nervous about both this and the Cinc game after watching them beat Louisville.  Good teams at home both needing wins while MU is safely in.  If the shoe was on the other foot (MU at home, needing win, opponent ranked 10th) I'd bet we win.  Both games should come down to the end.  At that point some of it is simple luck.
That said if we end up needing a win hosting GT I think we will for the same reason.  Enjoy the ride!

They are ass-backwards... GOLD&BLUE Show, I love Huggy....I'm guessing they take a few years to take film from reel-to-reel to digital, there was a Frozena clip in there (he got the assist BTW)

Cincy shot lights out from three.  I think that needs to happen again for MU to lose.

Here's the x factor for us.  DJO and Jae haven't won there yet.  They have long memories, and have a score to settle.

Remeber the slashing gesture Jae made against Louisville....he remembered the previous encounter, and what Louisville did at the end of the game.

Something tells me that these two have a score to settle with WVU too.  If my theory is right, watch these two, especially Jae, be on a mission tonight.

That was a pretty purse Buzz was carrying as well.

Jae couldn't have won there.  We didn't play @WVU last year...so I'm not sure what his memories would be of.  Plus we beat WVU both times we played them last year.

DJO, on the other hand, cost us that game in 2010 when Butler hit the game winner.  He bricked some free throws and took an ill advised shot at one point instead of running clock.  I'd say he has a pretty bad memory he'd like to make up for.

Almost positive that was a European carry-all

Someone has to tell Buzz to drop the purse...sorry, "European hand bag."

WVU desperately needs to win. They are coming off a humiliating loss and don't want another on national TV. MU beat them twice last year, including in the Big East tourney. People are starting to talk about Crowder getting POY over Jones.

As far as motivating a team goes, it can't get much easier for Huggins.

If his players can't get psyched for this one, they should give back their scholarships.

All it will take for MU to lose is for DJO to do a Kyle Kuric imitation!

All West Virginny needs is for one of their fans to post how discouraging it is to have another flop on national TV!   ;)

In West Virginia, a post is a thing that holds up a fence.

You mean our two best players are going to be our two best players tonight?
