The WVU men's basketball had to stay in New York an extra night due to the weather on Saturday after its game against St. John’s. The Mountaineers were down at halftime by 11 and came back in the second half to beat the Red Storm by 19 points.

WVU's Da' Sean Butler hit seven three-point shots to tie a Big East record and scoring a season-high 33 points.

Butler scored a career high 43 points against Villanova last year, interesting to note that will be West Virginia's next opponent.

The Mountaineers will host the Wildcats on Monday night for a 7 p.m. tip off.

WVU is the in the middle of a four game stretch in just nine days but guys like Butler and Devin Ebanks say they are handling it just fine.

Well said JimBob. As a WVU alum I was outraged over the poor student behavior, especially their unawareness over how easily the national media exploits these infractions to depict the state as hooligans smoking on corn cob pipes ... if not funny cigarettes. The students need to grow up – have fun, but act responsibly.

How much you want to bet that the ESPN announcers' first topic in the pre-game show is about the fan behavior at the Pitt game and not the game against Villanova? At any other school, this would be a dead issue by now. But at WVU, the place where 'fans burn couches' the stereotype is continued. To the idiot fans who throw stuff at any game - get drunk & stay at home to throw stuff at your TV instead.
