I'm almost speechless at the outcome of the UC/WVU game. I thought it would be close and I was hoping UC could pull off the upset. But, wow. That was just something. That was a great win for Mick (you know he had to be smiling on the inside). That had to be agony for Huggins, not for losing to Mick, but for the absolute egg his team laid. You can't coach a team that shoots like that. No set plays or screens or anything can save you from less than 20% shooting. Wouldn't you like to know what, if anything, Huggins said to his team after that stinker? Perhaps they were disturbed by Huggins, Mr. Blackwell-worthy, yellow pimp-daddy suit, with matching yellow shoes. What was that? Makes you yearn for the mock turtle neck days, doesn't it? Anyway, this win goes a long way for the Cats. It's a road Big East win, which has been hard to come by. It will give them confidence again, which helps. Just as beating Cronin's other Mentor, Rick Pitino and Louisville on the road helped turn their season around.
But, make no mistake, had the Mountaineers been able to make shots, UC's performance was not good enough to win. How this team can't make a free throw just blows me away. That's inexcusable. Mick should make them shoot hundreds every day. But, let's all rejoice in this win, I know I will.

On a side note, who was the woman doing color commentary last night? It will sound sexist, but I hate when women do play-by-play or commentary in men's games. I don't really know why. Her comments weren't that bad, to be honest, but I still don't like it.
