Why does WVU have to travel again in this Big East - Big 12 match ups? Been out of Big East for 9 years and still get screwed.

Geezus. You can't expect the to play all 31 games at home and get that home cooking.

Dumbass. You can't play 31 games at home. Conference play doesn't allow it. Go to the herd board where people think they like you.

Get your undies stuck up your crack? Did your period start? Go drown yourself in gulf and swallow some oil. You're out of league here.

You are the one crying about ****.
Playing a game in DC is big for WVU recruiting. They are playing the #1 program in DMV basketball.
Much better to play them at the Verizon Center than in Morgantown.

Buy the tickets and show up. That easy.

Why do you think Oklahoma is stupid enough to play Texas in Texas every year.

Sometimes you have to understand where you are at.
Much better to play in a huge media center against a big time opponent.

WVU should be able to buy a good amount of tickets

TVZ has a point. Why do you think that two huge SEC football powers (Alabama and Auburn) play the Iron Bowl every year in the Birmingham?

oh wait ,,,,,,

Maryland is better than Georgetown in basketball these days, Pride. Look it up. Georgetown might be as good as a 10th best team in the B1G, but maybe not.

TVZ has never made a point in his life. He trolls to change thread content. He's an ***.

Texas and OU conference rivals
Alabama and Auburn conference rivals.

Georgetown and WVU were and are not rivals.

Once again conference rivals have nothing to do with WVU playing at Georgetown. If Georgetown is supposedly the #1 in DMV area why are Big 10 teams out recruiting them in this area.

Last 5 years Georgetown 78-93. They haven't been big time since John Thompson Jr. was coach 20 plus years ago.

Alabama and Auburn are 85 miles from each other. Since 1999, the games have been played at Jordan–Hare Stadium in Auburn every odd-numbered year and at Bryant–Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa every even-numbered year.

They haven't played in Birmingham since 1998.

Dallas is 195 miles from Austin and Norman OK. is 190 miles

In Basketball Texas and OU play at each others Arena's.

Last I checked WVU doesn't play Georgetown in football.

The part some of you are missing is that WVU possibly wanted this.

You can cry about things and act like everyone is out to get you or you can accept the truth.

Playing a game in a NBA arena against Georgetown is a lot more important than playing them in Morgantown

yeah, and maybe Georgetown will get lucky, and this will be one of those games Huggins loses on purpose.

Haha.

Have no idea where Huggins and that team are at going into that game next year

You saw to end the season that team had a pretty high ceiling.

Just basketball coaching.
I am not one to overvalue regular season matchups because teams are entering those games at different points.


Does Georgetown bring that big European center back?

They can match WVU in the interior if so.

McClung is a shooter. If he gets hot can score 35 points.

I don't think so, as I believe he was a senior last year. Michigan took their top commit for next year's class, so I'm not sure they'll put up much of a game, but you're right, being early season and all, anything can happen, particularly if WV isn't shooting the ball well, or turns the ball over a lot against the G-Town pressure.

If that big center from Maryland plays more than 10 minutes a night as a freshman Michigan is in trouble.

Their Turkish center has one more year of eligibility so don't know if he leaves.

It isn’t hard to figure out.

Two years ago UK vs WVU.
Better team: UK
Make it a better game for TV: @ WVU

Last year Mizo vs WVU
Better team: Missouri
Make it a better game for TV: @ WVU

This coming season Georgetown vs WVU
Better team: WVU
Make it a better game for TV: in DC

Plain and simple. It’s all about TV ratings and holding viewers for advertising dollars.

More than likely the game will be at the Verizon Center as well.

Neutral Court pretty much.

WVU fans buy up the tickets and turn it into a home game.

Bob Huggins likes these games.
Like I said. Should email someone and see if you can get an answer.
Very good chance WVU wanted this and the Big 12 gave it to them.
