A great time to honor a great team in WVU basketball history this weekend.
men's basketball team will be honored during the first timeout of the second quarter of the Mountaineers' Big 12 opening football game against Kansas.
Beilein completely turned things around by year three, helping lead a run to the Elite Eight. After getting out to a blistering 10-0 start, including a win over No. 17 North Carolina State, the Mountaineers hit adversity. They would go on to lose six of their next seven which featured a neutral court loss to in-state "rival" Marshall, kicking off the start of a five-game losing streak.
WVU entered the Big East tournament as the No. 8 seed, but it didn't matter. After a dominating opening-round victory over Providence, they scrapped and clawed their way to victory against Boston College in the quarterfinals and Villanova in the semifinals, setting up a date with Syracuse for the conference championship. The Orange had a 10-point lead at the half and while WVU played much better defense in the final 20 minutes, it wasn't enough to usher a comeback victory.
The magic continued two days later when West Virginia stunned the nation, knocking off No. 2 seed Wake Forest, led by future NBA all-star Chris Paul. Talk about a team that had a flare for the dramatics, they went back-and-forth with the Demon Deacons all game, providing for a thrilling finish in regulation, and the first overtime period before getting some separation late in the second overtime. Mike Gansey led all scorers in the game with 29 points.
