WVU will play the following teams at home: Cincinnati, DePaul, Georgetown, Louisville, Marquette, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Villanova. WVU has road games against: Connecticut, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rutgers, St. John’s, Seton Hall, USF, Syracuse. Think about this, WVU plays 5 teams on the road that participated in last year's "big dance".
I am of a mind that the European trip is vital in bringing this team to be on the same page. There simply aren't any easy nights in Big East play. To again make the Dance WVU is going to have to hold serve at home, win all four games on the road against likes of Rutgers, Setan Hall, USF and Providence. I am not saying that even that will be easy to do with a youthful team.
Bob Huggins has much work to do this season. Thank all that is right and holy that we have him steering this ship through that gauntlet.
Anyway, it might be a little early to obsess about the upcoming round-ball season but hard not to be impressed with this in-conference schedule. RPI-SOS shall like us again.

Saw your schedule - that is tough. Do you see Huggins making the tournament? We have work to do ourself.
Welcome UL fan. I believe both our schools have an upstream swim ahead of them. But both also have men at the helm who can navigate those channels. I am excited to see what the 2011-12 season brings. The big Beast schedule notwithstanding.
As for making the tourney, I think that the Eers will have to work very hard to do so. They have the ability and talent it is just extremely youthful. I see that happening with decent 2 loss only OOC record and a 500 record in BE the ladder is no small task.
