COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — At least the parking was free.
That’s at least one cheerful takeaway for 6,775 West Virginia fans who came with a mild case of “CBI Fever” only to watch their team get heat-checked by Coastal Carolina, 109-91.
Derek Culver showed up late for warmups and the Mountaineers’ defense never showed up at all. The home team trailed by double-digits for the game’s final 23 minutes and saw the deficit balloon to 27 points at one juncture. WVU lost the rebounding battle also.
There wasn’t much to console a group that entered the CBI hoping to pick up a bargain-basement consolation prize.
