Murderer's row of basketball tournaments, and I am referring to the Big East Tournament enters the quarterfinals tonight when the WVU Mountaineers will try for the third time this season to beat Pittsburgh.
Last night WVU beat Notre Dame for the second time this season with a 74-62win last night to advance to the quarterfinal round. Alex Ruoff lead the Mountaineers with 25 points and Freshman Devin Ebanks had a career high 18 rebounds in the win. The win runs the Mountaineers record to 22-10 on the year and pretty much secured not only an NCAA Tournament bid but a decent seed for the tournament that starts next week.
Last nights win was the easy part though, to win the Big East Tournament we will have to beat Pitt, then most likely UCONN and finally Louisville in the finals to win the Big East Tournament. When the NCAA tournament pairings come out next week, there are four regions of 16 teams, these three teams could probably be the #1 seed in 3 of the 4 brackets. Talk about a big hill to climb in front of you, this could hopefully be an exciting week of basketball.
Bring on the Panthers, maybe the third game this season will be the charm.
