If you'd told me back on New Years Eve that WVU would win every one of its first three Big East games (against South Florida, Villanova and Georgetown) and be on a big (I think it's 9) game winning streak after defeating Georgetown I'd have likely congratulated you on your optimism, patted you on the shoulder, and rolled my eyes when you turned around. Yet, as difficult as those feats have been to achieve, the Mountaineer men's basketball team has done just that. Let's hope this streak continues.

Next, #10 (I think), Paterno's Louisville squad. That is to say, we'll find out if Pitt's for real very soon.
