The sights and sounds are already part of West Virginia history.

I dont think a run to the national title could be much harder than what weve had to do the last six games, point guard Joe Mazzulla said. Should the Mountaineers progress as far as they desire and the brackets follow the numbers, which they never do, theyll face one top-10 RPI team (New Mexico) before an Elite Eight game against RPI No. 2 Kentucky. In the past six games, WVU has played the RPI No. 7 twice and No. 11 once. To get to six in a row, the Mountaineers defeated Georgetown and Cincinnati twice as well as Villanova and Notre Dame.
