and not only is the line PK.. WV is -110 and Xavier is +100.. WV is the 7 seed, Xavier the 3 seed lol.

In my brackets I have WV in the Elite 8.. and I will be betting them huge it looks like. I Expect 55-59% of the public to be on Xavier by tipoff

Couple of things that would scare me backing WVU... Not a great road team... They have have quite a few road games where they could not put it in the ocean ( ie.. the first half vs Duke) vs quality defensive teams (Nova & Cinny) ) especially if the other team has a player that can match up with Alexander ( ie.. Duncan for X) ... If Duke shoots the ball in the 1st half ( they had open looks) they would have been up 15 at half.. When their hot their hot but when they are not they go ice cold.. Plus Alexander has been good but not great in the tourney .... GL .... WVU is on a roll...

You are onto something here PV...........just based on seeding you would think Xavier would be favored by a bucket. Can't wait to put it down on Thuggins and Co.....WVU to the Elite 8!!

I still don't see how what percentage of the public is on a side has any corelation to the expected outcome. I think WVA is the play, but I like them because they have played tougher competition, have a deeper team and a better coach. I don't care if everyone is on the side I like or vice versa.

good luck with your play,
robert

definitely West Virginia- they're on a roll, I'd say they want it more than Xavier at this point.

How awesome were the games in tampa though?!? The Clemson-Nova game was probably my fave- I was glued to the screen- plus I got to watch these games on my new 47" Vizio HDTV that I just bought- which was AWESOME! Nothing like basketball in HD!! Well maybe NASCAR in HD...

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
