I'm here in Pittsburgh getting ready to head south to Morgantown tomorrow morning. There's a lot riding on tomorrow's game. More so now that LSU lost to Arkansas in triple OT.
Here's the thing: Before LSU lost, West Virginia was going to run up the score against UConn if it had the chance. Why? Assuming LSU was to beat Arkansas, West Virginia would need to win by as many points as possible to impress voters and hope that the Missouri/Kansas winner falls in the Big 12 title game next week against Oklahoma.
Now, a Missouri win and a West Virginia win likely pushes the Mountaineers into the top spot.
Talk about pressure? If there wasn't enough on the Mountaineers, it's been jacked up a few notches. If you ask me, that added pressure helps UConn. But if it doesn't take advantage of that factor early, it can be quickly negated.
I still don't like the Huskies' chances. I hope they win; a BCS game for this upstart team makes for a great story, maybe one of the best this season. But I just don't see it happening.
