Well the men, I am guessing will be doing some treadmill work today along with some free-throw shooting. This wasn't the performance that Huggins was looking for after last Saturday's game. However we did overcome. Neither the men nor the women put on extra-ordinary performances against their down-state rivals and both were happy to leave Charleston with W's.
I for one am glad that this legislature mandated mid-year game is over so that we can focus on the Big East. I think that the officiating left something to be desired, with a total of 52 files called that night. But it is not an excuse as was pointed out by Joe Mazzula. "(The officiating) went both ways," said WVU guard Joe Mazzulla. "Both teams had to adapt to it and I don't think either team every really did. That's why there were so many free throws."-AP
One possitive note in this game was the debut of a familiar face, Jarrett Brown who went 2 of 3 for five points in first half action. “This time of the year you try to win and go on,” Huggins said. “I’ll be over it hopefully by the time practice rolls around tomorrow.” -AP The team is hoping he is over it for if he is not it could be a painful practice. But alas it is time for the men to focus on Georgetown. The 12th rated woman also need to focus on the task at hand in the Big East. Ugly wins are always better than pretty losses!!!

Is this a legislature mandated game? We've played them every year for 20 some years. Besides, this game is harmless to WVU. The last two times they lost to Marshall, they've had their best runs in the NCAA tourney. Big East games are the only thing that really matter. If we lost this game and finish 5th or 6th in the Big East, we would still easily make the tourney. As for the foul shooting, it's not surprising that a lot of fouls were committed with WVU coming out of Big East play. Officiating is clearly different throughout the country and it's something that teams have to adjust to. The early BE loss to ND was likely assisted by us not being near ready for the physicality of that game.
Oh, as I pointed out previously, J Brown's debut was against S. Florida.
