****

WVSports.com and the WVU Fan Store are teaming up to offer you a chance to win free WVU gear for doing nothing more than participating in our game threads for WVU football and basketball games.

For the remainder of the basketball season when you post in our game thread you will be entered into a drawing for one of two $10 gift cards to the WVU Fan Store (http://westvirginia.rivalsfanstore.com/).

Several hours before each game we will start a game thread and again all you have to do is share your thoughts on the game. All we ask is that you actually give some thought to your post rather than simply going with a one or two word post in an effort to be in the drawing. Also there may be a few surprise items added along the way.

Within 24 hours following each game we will pick two winners randomly and you will be emailed your gift certificate code. While we obviously encourage you to use the card to buy Mountaineer gear you are welcome to use it to buy anything offered, which includes pro sports apparel and fan items.

I'm not overlooking anyone but we have the Sweet 16 right in front of us if we play up to our potential.

As a five seed, you can't ask for anything more than playing a 12 and a 13 to get to the Sweet 16.

We just have to take care of our own business now.

Looking good early. Why do teams try to attack the rim against us? You have to in a way but it doesn't end well. As I say that they go to the rim and score.

While I love Carter on Defense, he does tend to make me cringe on the Offensive side of the ball. For some reason when he drives the lane, he doesn’t follow through to the basket (either he’s expecting trailing help or he doesn’t want the contact) and that drives me nuts. IF you’re going to drive the lane, do it with determination or with some assurance that there’s a trailer for the outlet pass.

I agree. Sometimes he dribbles out of control.

And that’s what Allen does best. He may not be the best shooter, but, he knows how to create contact and get to the foul line.

Out-rebounded on defense, 12-7. Have to fix that.

9-9 on offense rebounds.

Konate 3 blocks already. That and steady Press Virginia exhaustion may pay off in final 10 minutes.

I think we got it. But only we keep on the pressure.

Daxter hasn't popped in a major string of 3's yet, either.

And we are ahead by almost double digits.

WVU-Marshall 2nd round matchup quite possible. Elmore vs. Carter will be something to watch if that's the way it turns out.
