Watch Morgantown, West Virginia Get Hit With A MASSIVE Storm Today
What a week for the Storm Chasers. Hitting 2 storms, getting booted out of UConn, there's just no one like Rone and Caleb. But this just shows how you bounce back from UConn refusing to let a storm happen. You go to Morgantown, West Virginia. You get right there. You start the day off with an engagement
You finish the day with a storm and then a million beers in Morgantown. This was a big time win for WVU too. Baylor had a chance to win (with a Kansas loss) get a share of the Big 12 title. WVU was in a complete free fall and this isn't exactly the best matchup for them with the way Baylor dogs you defensively. But they also didn't have Caleb and Rone (who 100% have superpowers when it comes to getting winners) on their side.
The crazy thing is WVU got down early too. They couldn't score to start the game and Baylor jumped out 9-0 looking like another coast. Then, Baylor missed some gimme layups and let WVU start finishing shit. Emmitt Matthews finished with 18. Big Oscar finished with 16 and 12. I do think there's a cap on what WVU can do long term because of guard play, but their ability to just crash the glass and play their ass off is why they can be there in the second weekend.
It's going to be real interesting to see if this loss costs Baylor a 1 seed too. Assuming Kansas wins the Big 12 Tournament (or anyone not named Baylor) and Dayton/SDSU/Gonzaga win theirs, there's a chance Baylor falls to a 2 seed. Either way 2 outta 3 storms ain't too shabby for the boys.
