Remember the VCU game, how Virginia was pressed and trapped all game? Imagine that on steroids.
That’s what today’s game between the No. 15 Virginia Cavaliers and No. 18 West Virginia Mountaineers is going to be like. West Virginia plays one of the fastest paces and forces turnovers better than anybody else in the nation.
Against the Rams, the Hoos won the transition battle by an astonishing 18-0. A similar performance this time would simply be unbelievable. These two teams have matched up the past two seasons, with the Hoos winning 70-54 at the Barclays’ Center in 2015 and the ‘Neers winning 66-57 last year in Charlottesville.
