NCAA Tournament: West Virginia KO's Duke and its Obnoxious Fans

As for the remarks from Joe Alexander after the game he was ONLY stating the TRUTH, saying that Duke was as talented as a five or a six seed in the Big East, which is understandable. He didn't say that this was the case every year, just this year. I mean give the guy some credit, he should know—he has played against all the competition NOT YOU.

As for the Greg Paulus question asking if he was the McDonald's All-American, this was a good question. Come on get off your Duke wagon real fast and tell me who is the most hated, cocky player in college basketball.

Yes, that's right it is Paulus.

He was slapping the floor, talking shit when he thought Duke was gonna blow West Virginia out in the first half. He was hollering up in the stands and at the players. So, don't give me this bad sportsmanship bullshit. Besides if he was the All-American he is claimed to be, he would have lead his to team to victory right?

Now, the question of whether to call a team a Cinderella is interesting. If Duke had its shit together they wouldn't have only beat Belmont, the real "Cinderella," by one. West Virginia is not a "Cinderella." Out of its last five NCAA tournaments, they have been to three Sweet 16's, one Elite Eight and an NIT championship.

Plus, they might add on to that total this year, changing one of those Sweet 16 appearances listed to an Elite Eight, or maybe even a Final Four. Who knows?

ESPN just showed some amazing statistics:

Memphis, UCLA, WVU, Kansas, and Villanova are the only schools in the country that have advanced to the Sweet 16 three times in the past four years.

That doesn't look like a Cinderella team to me.

Plus, name another school that was in a BCS game and in the Sweet 16 this year. Kansas and West Virginia are the only two, so their sports programs must be on the rise. 

DON'T HATE ON WEST VIRGINIA BECAUSE THEY WERE A BETTER TEAM AND YOU ARE LETTING YOUR EMOTIONS CONTROL YOUR ACTIONS AND THOUGHTS. GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. REMEMBER: WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT WV BRINGS TO THE TABLE NEXT YEAR IT ONLY GETS BETTER FROM HERE. OH AND BY THE WAY WV NOW OWNS DUKE 1-0.
