Duke has been there too often.

I rooted for Butler- don't know why, since I went to Illinois of the Big Ten. Again, like to see the honors passed around.

A Butler - W. Va final would confound the pickers.

And both teams.

If it goes that way I hope they tie and tie in all the overtimes.

I ain't writin' my homeboys off yet, but even if they lose, I'm proud as a bantom rooster to see them in the Final Four.

Go to Sports, then click on Duke West Virginia-watch it live. If you don't already have it downloaded, you will need Adobe Flash pLAYER.

Please, mountain gods, don't let it turn into a blow-out in these last several minutes!

Bobby Huggins is a winner and that program is a winner. Did you see those kids and the way they felt about Huggins? WVU lost tonight but as Huggins asked them in another, "It is okay to play and lose but let's lose it our way.

They're gonna be around for a long time.

Spaw

Good run WVU. But, after knocking out my Cats, you should have also knocked off the hated Blue Devils.

I don't follow sports, but I had a great vision of a bunch of real mountaineers climbing in through Janie's window, one after another...just streaming in. **BG**

Coulda told ya. Duke has money to bribe the scorekeepers and the refs. Them poor mountaineers barely keep their family fed.

Huggins showed himself off to be a class act yesterday. The way he held Da'Sean Butler when D's knee gave out had real heart. Let's hope Butler (the college, not the player this time) teaches Duke a lesson Monday night.

And how many Mountaineers are on the 'Cat anyway?

I had been watching WV pretty closely since they knocked my school out of the Big East tourney. I'm very impressed by Da'Sean Butler and his historic accomplishment of joining Hot Rod Huntley and Jerry West as the only Mountaineers to score 2000 points in a career. Also, of course, I've respected Coach Huggins all through his career.

I was rooting for them Saturday, but was not too surprised at Duke's performance. I'm not a Duke-hater, but I haven't been rooting for them recently. A few years ago, when a kid from my high school was one of their star players, I spent a few years as a temporary Duke fan.

I'll be glad to see Butler prevail tonight, like pretty much everyone else in the world who's not a Duke alum. But I won't lose any sleep if Coach K and his kids claim another title. They really do have an excellent program and don't deserve the kind of knee-jerk hatred that they seem to inspire simply by doing so well on such a consistent basis.

Not many of us, fretless, and I don't think we have any 'Catter's who currently live there. (maybe Doug R?)

The Cubs. That's a dodge ball team, right?

Whoever I want to win, loses.

Am I cursed? Or am I a curse?
