While Saturday's result from Norman may still sting, West Virginia is still exactly where they want to be: First in the Big 12 Conference. Technically, they are tied for first with Baylor at 4-1, but that is still a huge accomplishment even for the month of January. I could go on and on about the achievements of these Mountaineers, but it certainly sounds like they remain both hungry and humble.
The Texas Longhorns, however, have had some bumps in the road. They had a strong non-conference slate and made decent hay out of it, but some academic scandal issues were circling the program for a while there (now closed), mid-season transfers are never a good thing, and Cameron Ridley going down during the UConn game back in December certainly doesn't help matters.
