Wednesday.......

After thoroughly evaluating the West Virginia Mountaineers during these past few weeks, one thing has become clear. Despite possessing one of the coaching luminaries and cultural icons of our generation, this is a basketball team whose play has been on the decline. While there is enough talent to make a late season run, team "huggy bear" appears to have peaked too early. In recent games these guys have escaped with some narrow victories, most recently a last minute win at home over Louisville. That being said, at 17-3 the Mountaineers remain in the thick of things in an ultra competitive Big East Conference and sport an impressive 9-1 record at home.
Their opponent is a Pitt Panther team who despite being 16-5 on the season, is only 3-2 on the road. However, this is a gritty Pitt team that plays hard for the full forty minutes. I am expecting a hard fought game with the Mountaineers edging Pitt something along the lines of 66-60, due in large part to the coaching genius of Robert "Huggy Bear" Huggins. Tonights play......Take Pittsburgh with the 10 points to keep this game close.

Just a reminder with the Superbowl only four days away I will be releasing my highly anticipated Prop bets during the next few days. Stay tuned.....
