TAMPA, Fla. — In the first of two games of the Tampa subregional, West Virgina finished the half on an 8-0 run in the last 1:10 to take a 41-33 lead into the locker room.
Despite shooting 56.5 percent and getting 16 points from freshman guard Brandon Knight, “Big Blue” fans — which traveled well — are disgruntled by the halftime deficit.
The matchup is the first of the day, pitting the No. 5 and No 4 seeds of the East Region against one another, as well as two coaching legends: Bob Huggins and John Calipari.
The winner of this game will most likely face the overall No. 1 seed Ohio State in the Sweet 16.
