how should it go in the Big XII tourney? how far will it go?

Defense will need to be on point, especially on the perimeter. I know we are all high after the Baylor game, but those guys missed some open looks at 3 we gave them that they don't usually in the first half. Complexion could've changed if those go in. That tall shooter will be a problem as he can shoot over some of our guards if they get a mismatch. Of course we have to make open shots, not miss layups, and not completely choke at the FT line.

Let's be honest.
NO ONE has a clue, including me. Every game takes on a life of its own.

We've seen what Huggins Heroes can do when they have their "A" game on defense, floor shots, free throws and rebounds. And what they can't do when they are "C" or worse in any of those categories.

Just enjoy the ride! It's fantastic entertainment for me!

I LOVE this team! Kick the OK out of Oklahoma! OK?

As long as they power lift all week and have a 4 hour defense practice right before the game it should to the same as the past 6 weeks

OU is not a favorable match up for us. We need to find someone to stop or slow down Doolittle. If Doolittle is is scoring easy the rest of OU's Reaves and Manek will set outside and pop 3's all night. Plus the danger of Reaves driving to the basket. Just need a hand in the face of Manic to slow down his 3's.

OU doesn't foul, doesn't miss foul shots, and they don't turn the ball over. Those are their best qualities and it goes against the things WVU tries to enforce.

I see a #1 KU and #2 Baylor in the final.
