Syracuse '92, Miami '96, and Kansas '15. It's disheartening to see blatant game control within our own conference. We've seen it before in the Big 12 but not this outright, in your face "you aren't winning this game" BS like what we just witnessed. At least they were subtle with it before. It's obvious now, If forced, they could care less about not hiding it. WVU will never be allowed to disrupt the pecking order in the B12... and Kansas will never deserve that trophy they are dancing around now. Never.
Three wins I will never concede as a Mountaineer..

Re: If we could have shot just 60% from the FT line VS 57.1...
against Kansas, there would only be 2 wins you will never concede.

We made one 2-pt bucket in the second half
We had 22 turnovers
We missed countless free throws
Blaming anything other than our own lack of execution is completely worthless...........

not to forget the times we had No 1 undefeated teams on the ropes only to lose in the last seconds i.e., VA Tech, Syracuse and Miami. Missed chipped shot field goal against Purdue and yep, that tie with Pitt was as good as a loss in most opinions. i'm sure there were others.

Not to be picky, although VT and Syracuse were undefeated, neither was #1 when we lost to them. I didn't check, but I think Tech was probably #2. I believe Syracuse was #5 or #6 at the time we played them. That being said, both losses were excruciating.
