Like you said -- we'll see about it tomorrow. WVU’s season is reminding me a lot of last year’s UCONN team — apparently strong in the beginning, but perhaps lacking any real meat.

WVU has been tearing apart the moderate competition (50-150 type quality) but has lost all three to top 25 types - Tennessee, Oklahoma, and now ND. If they get slaughtered tomorrow, it might be time to focus on the "early season" part of early season blowouts. I think it’s safe to say UConn gave up 48 in one or both halfs to UCLA in 1995.

Both are pretty good teams. Both really heavily on outside shooting and nights like that happen to teams who depend on outside shooting. Agreed. Both are pretty good teams.

Many times shots went in and out while ND couldn't miss it seemed like in the first half. I would give the Mountaineers the benefit of a cold shooting night.

Either WVU is a lot weaker than people thought they were, or ND is a lot stronger. I'd go with the latter. Joe Alexander was a bit of a disappointment, I have to admit.
