- Big 12 men’s basketball: - Four straight final four teams - Three straight championship game teams - Two straight NCAA championships. Best basketball league in America?
- WVU is recognizing our servicemen and servicewomen on the field and all of them showing the Horns down sign LOL
- This from ESPN PR today ... Saturday’s SNF matchup between West Virginia and Oklahoma was the second-most-viewed game across all networks in Week 4 with 4,502,000 average viewers, peaking with 6,273,000 viewers in the final moments of the game. @WVUfootball
- There are not many places in America where more than 12,000 show up in really poor road conditions to see a team five games under .500 play a home basketball game! West Virginia hoop fans are second to none!!!! @WVUhoops
- Not sure where this win ranks historically, but I do think it was a big shot in the arm for @WestVirginiaU and its new president @michaeltbenson. My alma mater has been in a little bit of a rut lately and was in need of something for everyone to celebrate.🎉
- Left the stadium at 10 pm tonight and every single light in the coaches wing of the Puskar Center was still on. Can’t recall ever seeing that in all the years since Bill Stewart last coached here. These guys want to get the Mountaineers back where they belong. @WVUfootball
- How about this: @CoachHuggs is just 4 wins away from 900 for his career! Every single coach ahead of him in all-time wins worked at places where you can pick your teams - not mold teams to what you can get! Think long and hard about that for a minute!!!!
- The difference between Huggs and all these coaches he is hanging around with in all-time wins ... Huggins hasn’t recruited a bunch of ready-made NBA players, he helps develop them! Think about that!
