I wouldn't bet against Bob McKillop manufacturing at least a scare of a top team in the first round. It's definitely not the Curry-led team of 2008, though, that's for sure. That was a really good team.

They won't be one of my upset picks, but they've hung pretty well in bigger games this year.

The alpinists' season took a turn for the worse after their much analyzed 63 to 61 loss in the Carrier Dome in late January. West Virginia rolled into Syracuse with a mark of 15-6 and left with an excruciating loss that sent the program downward spiraling to a 4-5 finish.

Bob Huggins vs. Jim Boehiem: Part II would be great.

Wouldn't it have been easier and more accurate to type "Mountaineer". ALPINIST--Really!!Based on the appearance of the WVU mascot I am not sure the words Mountaineer and Alpinist are synonymous. It is difficult to visualize a man wearing a buckskin suit and coonskin cap with a rifle and a gunpowder horn scaling the mountaintops.Hey,whatever floats your boat.

Watching that classic unfold with him (he's also a huge fan of Duke and college basketball) until the early hours is just a great memory. After each OT concluded, he started to yell out the number of the next period. Four! Five! Six! I was literally convinced that the game was not going to end. We'll never see another one like it.

West Virginia's team of rugged outdoorsmen by something more technical, such as the Hinterlanders, since they do carry muskets around the court and all.

I think you should go with "Backwoodsmen".

reclegend22;1106882 wrote:Lol, um, who cares?

Alpinist is a cool-sounding word and shorter than "mountaineer," so I used it. Next time, if I decide to deviate from the course, I will be sure to refer to West Virginia's team of rugged outdoorsmen by something more technical, such as the Hinterlanders, since they do carry muskets around the court and all.
