What a game

WOW, what a game last night. Our team that was a bubble team two weeks ago and managed to make it to the Big East Championship, received a bid to the NCAA Tournament. We played ourselves from a bubble team to a #7 seed in that tournament.

Last night, we showed out invitation was not a fluke by beating pre-season #2 ranked, and the team that was ranked #1 for two weeks in December. Wake Forest was upset they did not receive a #1 seed in the tournament and had to settle for a #2 seed.

Lat night they jumped out to a 13 point 40-27 haltime lead. Key the drama. West Virginia managed to pick away at that lead the entire second half and took the lead late in the game. Wake managed to tie it and send it into overtime.

During the first overtime I thought we were going to win it, we dominated the scoring in the overtime period, but once again Wake Forest hit a big 3 pointer late in the OT period and we had a failed drive at the end to send it to a second overtime.

We dominated the second ovetime sending Wake Forest home and advancing ourselves to the Sweet 16. This may have been the best basketball game I have ever watched WVU play.
