WVU is in the Mid-West Regional with a 6 seed and is scheduled to play Dayton on Friday sometime around 3:00pm, in the first round of the tourney. The Eers will have to travel north to Minneapolis. This particular section includes the Match-up between Eers and Flyers as well as the 12:30 game between North Dakota State and the defending national champion, Kansas Jahocks. Thus, the reward for beating the Flyers will be a likely date with Kasas. The team is not looking past Dayton though as they are a very good team which was noted throughout the regular season as one of the toughest defenses from a non-"big-six-conference". The team appears to be excited by this opportunity and look forward to getting on the court. Tonight Coach Huggs will have his last call in show of the year. I would suggest going to www.MSNsportsnet.com to listen to the show online if you don't have local access.
Go Eers!!!

The spread is -8.5. Dayton is known as a strong defensive team, but has put up some high numbers a couple of times this year. They beat Marquette back in November. How, I don't know. They also split with Xavier. This team can play!
The key to this matchup may very well be turnovers. Two great defensive teams that can get hot. Creating open looks is going to be difficult for Ruoff and Butler in particular as most teams have made a concerted effort to stop these two from scoring. That will mean our freshman will again be the difference in this game. They need to be able to effectively bring the ball up the court and pass the ball with turnovers. In the end, i think WVU just has more scoring output. WVU by 14.
