WVU to sweet 16!!!

WVU to sweet 16!!!

Villanova been taken down b4, depends on who shows up to win. My Boilermakers are there as well, but with there best inside man Haas out, will be a tough journey forward. At least you got an earlier game Fri eve.

So is there anyone in the country that still has an intact bracket sheet?

Maybe a Loyola fan

I would say NOPE!!!!

For a small OVC school MSU has a pretty rich basketball tradition. Several big school coaches started their head coaching careers here. Mick Cronin and Steve Prohm were the last two. Mark Gottfried was another and Houston Nutt coached football here before Arkansas and Mississippi. I don't believe we'll ever be a top NCAA school but it's fun for a small school. On another note my oldest starts U Kentucky med school this fall so I guess I'll have to support them some now.

RDawson,

I know what you mean about Murray State. They have a long winning basketball tradition. When I was young (ions ago), they were in the same conference with our local university, University of Arkansas Little Rock, (UALR), and on a number of occasions (more than I want to remember), we would be having a great year, heading toward a berth to the NCAA tournament, and Murray State would knock us off, usually in our conference tournament. Used to frustrate the crap out of the residents of Little Rock who supported the Trojans.

I remember when the U of A (Arkansas) hired Houston Nutt away from Murray State, I was shocked to find out they had a football team. I had only known them as the school that used to break UALR's heart in basketball.

We haven't had a good football program in several years now. I'm hoping they'll get back on track soon. Murray had the same history with football coaches years ago. Gottfried, Beamer, Zook and more. I don't know how we've attracted so many young coaches that go ahead with huge careers. My wife and oldest daughter are both alumni, pretty nice to have a local quality school. Campus is only 10 minutes from home.

WVU's Football Program should be back in the News next year. It could be a really good one.

GO mountaineers!! Villanova giving us a game 1st half!!

Sorry Dan. Was rooting for WV but they fell behind in the last few minutes. Villanova topped them by 2pts in the end.

Hoping my Michigan team can move forward again. we'll see how they do against Florida tomorrow.

Thanks Larry. I'm gonna start watching Ping Pong!!!:bang head:
