Quote of the day from our beloved coach, “I don’t know, it’s a lot more fun watching them make shots I know that.”
This was a very necessary and big win for the beloved gold and blue. They finally were clicking on both Defense and Offense again. A very encouraging reawakening of Alex Ruoff, with 24 points on 8-of-11 shooting and 6 of 7 from behind the arc. Da’Sean Butler, finished with 17 points and a team-leading nine rebounds. The Frosh came to play and contribute. Devin Ebanks also notched double figures, scoring 13 points he pulled down six boards. “Truck” Bryant added 10 points in 22 minutes. Kevin Jones contributed 8 points himself. With four players in double figures the Eers were able to put up simply too many points for the Friars to overcome particularly when they held them to 59 almost 25 points under their average. It was simply a well needed dominant performance from the Mountaineers. Big Picture this game could have significant roll in determining the Big East Seeding as well as NCAA selection. Eers are currently 9th but with this win hold the ever important tie-breaker over Providence. It may come down to just that. 8 games left to determine who is in the coveted top 8 and who must play on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.
Now on to sPitt II, at the Zoo.

Unfortunately, Providence is at USF and home vs. Rutgers this week while we are at Pitt and home vs. Villanova. Advantage Providence this week. Meanwhile Syracuse is at UConn and home vs. Georgetown. Cincinnati is home vs. St. Johns and at Pitt. And Georgetown is at Syracuse and at South Florida. Providence clearly has the schedule advantage. WVU has it the toughest this week, but if we can find a way to stay in the thick of it ahead of Georgetown and getting to tied with one of the teams in front of us, we put ourselves in position where our RPI can help us tremendously.
