Tomorrow will be interesting. I think Temple should be better prepared for the press. If we beat Temple convincingly--a team which overcame an 18 point deficit to be #25 FSU--then that will bode very well for the season.Rock solid squad. I think today shows that we can confidently say "we're good". Now are we typical WVU 5 or 6 seed 10-8 in conference good, or are we push KU for a conference title and expect the Final Four good? Stay tuned everyone.

UVA stomped our press before, and they probably will again. If we don't win, at least we should be able to get a good idea how teams will attack our press and can make adjustments.@UVA will be a true litmus test. It would be really nice if we didn't get run off the floor in that one.
Remember Temple lost to that awful New Hampshire team we 100'd a few weeks ago.

Your team won't be the last. If we can't press, we get blown out.Quite frankly, I'm STUNNED at this first half. EVEN Mark Williams is playing well!
