Coach DeVries beats a ranked team in his first 5 games. Brown hasn’t done it in 6 years.

Basketball is not the same if you really want to stir the pot then ask all the Huggins lovers why we have a coach that can beat a team that he couldn't. Better yet ask why the world hasn't ended.
He not only already beat a highly ranked team but he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who is going to sit there and make excuses for 45 minutes after every game when he doesn't. Other than the spitt game it has been a great start to the basketball season for sure!
I agreed it was time for Huggins to step aside. Regardless of the DUI or slurs. It was just that time. I’m aware basketball is not the same sport. It doesn’t change the facts.
I was ready to move on from huggs just not in the way that we did. I thought it was stupid and still do. Always will....
The fact is basketball has nothing to do with football. Beilen beat a top 10 Florida team in his 1st season, and we ended up with a losing record. This game may mean nothing in the grand scheme if we don't build on it. Brown has technically beaten 3 teams that were ranked none of them finished ranked. Wvu football as a whole has only beaten two teams that finished the season ranked since 2014.
The fact is the basketball game that happened in the middle of the afternoon was more exciting than any football game we've had in the last 6 years. You can nitpick the differences between basketball and football and nitpick little stats about Neil Brown but the bottom line is, when you play up to your competition, that's a sign of good coaching. That's something the football team can't do under Brown
Quite a difference between basketball and football.
But this proves Wren knows what he's doing.
There's going to be a few more Pitt type games just like there will be more Gonzaga type games.
Let's hope more of the Gonzaga type wins occur.
If that's the case they should have let him go a long ass time ago lol. His reputation in Morgantown is well known. They probably let it go on way too long
