you put a lot of thought into this op
Lots of fouls
I always wonder if Huggy's guys stop fouling after a while or the refs get a headache from blowing the whistle that many times, so they stop calling them.
WVU's guards have to win against Ku's in order for the eers to pull the upset. J's have the advantage down low with Ellis. I'm not sure WVV has the fire power to compete in a high scoring game. But if they keep it in the 70's, WVU wins. With them, it's always about how the refs call the game, 40 fouls or 80? If the number is low, WVU likely wins. Huggs is coaching a team, the only one in this league, with enough depth to compete with Self's bench, which is the best in college basketball. So for me, this game is a toss up but only because it's played in Morgantown. Ku doesn't lose in Lawrence.
