West Virginia fans have built themselves up for notoriety. Sometimes, positives. Sometimes, negative.
On Tuesday, the Mountaineer Maniacs were heralded as some of the best.
WVU fans, students, alumni and the general public were lauded for their dedication to the basketball program on Tuesday. The Mountaineers beat Kansas, 74-63, in front of an announced attendance of 12,097.
When the game started, though, a majority of that crowd was not inside the WVU Coliseum. Many were sitting still in their cars on the roads and highways around Morgantown. A winter blast hit the region just as people were getting out of work, making their way to the game.
