The WVU Men's basketball season came to a sad end last night with a 75-79 Overtime loss to Xavier. WVU fell behind 0-8 and 10-28 early in the game, but bravely fought back to eventually take the lead just past the halfway point in the second half.
The game was nip and tuck from that point on and ended up in a 64-64 tie at the end of regulation. Overtime saw the Mountaineers jump out to a six point lead, but saw it falter as Xavier started nailing deep, unguarded three point shots and that was the final difference in the game.
The Mountaineers finish the season 26-11 in Bob Huggin's first season in Morgantown. It was sad to see Darris Nichols and Jamie Smalligan end their WVU careers, it was a game I think we should have won. However this is March Madness and you have to bring your "A" game all night long.
2008-9 Season looks like it could be a very good one with the players we have coming back plus the players we have coming in.
Take a bow guys, great season.
