I disagree. Last years team was slaughtered at home by Pitt . Dropping WVU to 3-5 after losses to Monmouth and NIT first round loser SMU. Last years team never won 2 straight.
This year you need to prepare for some tough losses to better teams than Pitt.
Nov. 27 - Gonzaga
Then loser Of Louisville / Indiana
Then whoever else finishes for 7th place game.
Probably will not win a game in that Tournament.
By the time Georgetown comes to town Dec. 6 WVU will be 3-4.
Then it's a bunch hopefully get even record teams before Big 12 opening of 1 ranked team after another.
Big 12 was not as great last year as claimed. They had 8 teams make the tournament but only 2 made the sweet 16 where both were booted.
I don't expect this team to finish above 10th or finish with winning record. Possibly 15 wins will be max if that many. With the early schedule 15 wins may not be possible.
As a Pitt fan, I was really hoping we'd be able to better gauge our team against what I thought might be major college competition in WVU. It never happened. God, WVU is BAD, really BAD. Gardner-Webb was better and they'd beat you. But you already know that. We could have beaten you by 40 if we wanted. That was a beatdown by Pitt in every aspect of the game. Just stating the obvious.
So Pitt fans still don't know how good our team really is until we play a legitimate team that can give us some competition. As for WVU, good luck the rest of the way. But at least you won't be playing teams as good as Pitt too often. You could get some wins in there somewhere.
