Um, who said I was an ASU fan? I'm not bitter, it just gets really old hearing fans of teams bitch about a lack of respect when they have done nothing to earn it. Also when you somebody claim a guy who has never been to a Final Four nor even won his conference (let along finish above third place) being lauded as "THE best coach in college basketball." He's without a doubt the sixth best coach in his own conference and that's being generous. -
This is the simplest minded statement I have ever read from you, and you have produced some winners before. I guess the fact that WVU gets zero college BB exposure or is hurt by being in the best college basketball confernece in the country wouldnt have anything to do with this right?Coz they are routinly in the hunt for the best college baskeball players int he country! 
By who? West Virginia fans? You'd think one of the 2-3 best bench coaches in collehe hoops would've won something by now. You're right being wooed by Michigan and Illinois means nothing to me as they're marginal programs. Kentucky has bigger fish to fry than John Beleien who has accomplished less at every level than the guy they just fired.
See below, oh, and switch off the "All Arizona" channel once in a while. there are other schools out there.
Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, when you were claiming the greatness of WVU's football offense that like their basketball team has produced absolutely nothing.
Huh? They do have a great offense and two potential heismann trophy candidates in White and Slaton. They lost to South Florida last year and it ruined their season. I never once suggested they had any right to play in any other bowl than the Gator bowl after that. But do remind me what was the Pac-10's bowl record last year?
At least Stanford beat a good team away from home this year as well as UCLA with Darren Collison. Like your football team, the Mountaineer Hoops team cakewalked their way through a joke of a schedule only to rightfully get left out in the cold followed by their fans bitching about lack of respect. Congrats WVU, you're the Kansas State of this decade. Beat somebody and then we'll talk.
We did UCLA -TWICE. That pinnacle of teams you ASU fans aspire to be got beat by the nobody's at WVU, not once, but twice. If WVU is Kansas Stateof this decade then Pac-10 football must be the Ohio Universites and Baylors we beat up on all the time!
That say you're a homer with no intelligent understanding on college hoops.
Thats rich coming from the biggest west coast homer on the board and one who touts being a fan of another west coast loser with that avatar! Every team in the Pac-10 not named ASU, Cal, Washington, and Oregon State has more quality wins this year than West Virginia and comparable or better records when you even out for scheduling. But I guess they have that genius offense that led them to that astounding 9-7 Big East record so you might as well replace Ohio State with them and watch G'Town and Florida piss their pants in fear.
This arguably could be one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard on ASFN. Winning the NIT means a team would've went on a deep NCAA tourney run.
Thats not what I said. You choose to ignore what I said. I said because of the unique style of offense and 1-3-1 zones of WVU, they are very hard to prepare for. Just like the last two years whent hey went to the elite 8 and sweet sixteen, I would expect they would have done the same this year. I suppose if Arizona wins the Insight.com Bowl this year I should start a thread saying they belonged in a BCS game due to their "imaginative" offense and coach who has never won anything.
