PITTSNOGLE!!

...finally got the site to let me sign, I'll pick up my running commentary from here...

14:51 to play, in the second half, 50-32 West Virginia, and things have actually improved over the last 5 minutes. With a 12-3 run to start the half BC has pulled back within, that's right, 18. This team is playing like the overrated joke many people have said they are...

14:45 to play, did they just say that Sally isn't playing for at all today? How are we losing to an inferior team without their best player?

14:10 to play, Dudley is flying all over the place but no one can hit a shot. Hinnent just missed a huge three that would have gotten them to within 13, typical lack of clutch shooting.

13:00 to play, Marshall with a big dunk on a break, down 14.

12:40 to play, OH GOD Dudley just fouled a WV guard shooting a desperation 3 at the end of the shot clock. Dudley's 4th, what a sophmore move.

12:00 to play, Marshall just hit a three stole the inbound...then threw an airball and fouled the rebounder, way to negate a good play you ass.

11:30 to play, Craig just pulled a huge rebound made the put back and got fouled. Can we please get him the ball everytime down the court? Dance with the gal who brought you boys!WV up 13...make that 12.

10:52 to play, oh Watson what the hell are you doing!?

10:00 to play, 18-4 run by BC, down 10 with an eternity to play.

9:48 to play, Dudley's back in with 4 fouls. Play smart kid.

8:56 to play, Hailey just had a layup swatted into the first row by a 5'9" kid, get up you schmuck!

8:00 to play, Snagglepuss or whatever the kid's name from WV is just buried a dagger 3 to put WV up 14 again. Hey Nate, maybe you should try covering him, they've only hit like 10 3's today.

7:51 to play, Watson just bricked a free one badly, I thought he was like 83% from the line?

7:11 to play, Dudley a chance for a 3 point play. WV looks tired. 50-58, WV has 2 field goals in the second half.

6:44 to play, WV never misses free throws, they're already in the bonus, that's bad.

6:26 to play, Dudley is all over the place, ripping boards, playing like an animal, just got a steal, where has this been? Oh you gotta finish though!

6:12 to play, 60-53. There is actually a player on WV named Pittsnogle.

5:27 to play, Smith just got called for his 4th on a bad blocking call. He was totally set, I hate to say this but it looks like they're getting squeezed. Smith is getting pounded everytime he touches the ball and is getting bad touch fouls on D.

4:36 to play, 62-58, Marshall just nailed a huge 3. He looks real good from outside again.

3:07 to play, Snagglepuss just nailed a big three again. Doornekamp should NOT be on the floor, he can't cover that guy! Doornekamp on Pittsnogle, try to say that 3 times fast.

2:24 to play, BC back down 11, Snagglepuss just got a put back. Please stop the white kid named Pittsnogle! PITTSNOGLE!

2:10 to play, BC 69-60 WV, this might be over. That Pittsnogle kid is one ugly fucker, they might win but he's still gonna be WV ugly.

1:26 to play, 71-60 the crowd is chanting ACC and Overrated, the refs are listening. Marshall just mugged a WV guard and didn't get the call, so squeezed.

51.7 to play, 72-64, everyone in the crowd not affiliated with BC is ripping them right now, this is like a WV home game.

40.6 to play, Dudley just got fouled shooting a three. What an awesome play, he kind of wiggled his way in front of Nichols to get fouled as he tried to just go by. Bad explanation, great play, 73-67.

29.8 to play, Dudely did so much today but he just bricked an open 3 that they really needed, they just never have quite enough.

18.1 to play, ACC, ACC, ACC, ACC, ACC!!!

9.1 to play, Smith hit a three and Sean McDonough just said Smith is 8-8 from the floor today. How does your best player only get 8 shots? He made every shot he took for Chrissake!

That's it, it's over. BC goes down to an unranked WV team which was playing without its best offensive player. They are now 4-4 in since starting 20-0 and will likely get a 3 seed instead of a 2 which sets up an awfully tough second round game, especially for a team that has been unable to step up since the Syracuse game a month ago.

What a huge disappointment.

The difference in this game? 3 point shooting. The Mountaineers hit 10 of 19 while BC hit only 5 of 20. You cannot have a ratio like that and hope to overcome a 25 point second half defecit.

The other difference, WV has the irresistable force known only as Pittsnogle, PITTSNOGLE! How in the blue fuck do you lose to a guy named PITTSNOGLE? My God! PITTSNOGLE!

I have to go to work, PITTSNOGLE! More later, PITTSNOGLE!

P P P P PITTSNOGLE!! Put me out of my misery.
