West Virginia Lands Back on the Bubble Following Horrendous Loss to Colorado

When most people saw that No. 16 Colorado beat No. 9 TCU in the opening round of the Big 12 Conference tournament, they probably assumed that West Virginia would have a cakewalk to the quarterfinals where they would meet Houston.

Those who follow West Virginia sports know that’s not how this works and in fact, Colorado winning and “setting the table” for WVU gave many Mountaineer fans an uneasy feeling heading into the matchup. When it looks easy on paper or the perfect path is set, it never seems to turn out how you would expect.

West Virginia played its worst game of the season and lost to Colorado 67-60. Overall, the Mountaineers are still safely in the NCAA Tournament, but now they’ve propped open the door for others to potentially bump them out. If a handful of other bubble teams improve their resumes over the next few days and there happen to be more mid-major bid stealers than expected, WVU might be in trouble.

According to ESPN’s Joe Lunardi, the Mountaineers are back on the bubble, but are listed in the “Last Four Byes” category and has them facing No. 7 Louisville in the East Region.

West Virginia Mountain Bike Association holds Race to Lil Moe’s in Philippi

PHILIPPI, W.Va (WDTV) – The West Virginia Mountain Bike Association kicked off its cross country series Sunday with the Race to Lil Moe’s in Philippi.

The event had options for all skill levels. Bikers had the choice to race 6 miles, 14 miles, or 19 miles.

Each race had a mix of straight track biking, and twisting and climbing through the woods. Bikers of all ages could participate, and each age group had its own race and results.

“I really do think that trails build community, and if you can get outdoor activity where people can come out and hike and bike,” said George Finly, a mountain biker and trail volunteer. “This is as much as a hiking trail as it is a biking trail. It’s right along the river, which is beautiful. Eagles were flying back and forth yesterday, and today is great because we’ve got a lot of kids out here.”

The next WVMBA cross country mountain bike race will be April 19 in Buckhannon.
