Which, generally, is the best thing to do. Just keep driving and don’t stop.

Well, despite the Oakland Zoo sending a contingent to Morgantown, Pitt returned some unused tickets (couldn’t make some more available to the Zoo?). In case you were unaware, WVU is 11-0 at home this season, but faces it’s toughest back-to-back home games (ever?).

But the Mountaineers’ spotless streak appears to be in jeopardy with old rival Pitt invading the Coliseum at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The No. 7-ranked Panthers (20-3, 8-1) hold first place in the conference standings. They’re 13-1 at home and 6-1 on the road this season.

And then the Mountaineers (18-4, 7-3) remain at home to host No. 5-ranked UCLA at 1 p.m. Saturday in a nationally televised tiff. Coach John Beilein thinks that this probably is one of the toughest back-to-back set of games in WVU’s hoops history.

Coach Beilein also has a birthday this week. Along with the low expectations for WVU, he got to avoid Syracuse and Louisville this year.

You can expect the popular theme for the game broadcast will be the youth of WVU versus the experience of Pitt.

Ron Cook continues his lauding of Pitt with a, slightly, confusing puff piece to Levance Fields. Comparisons to journeyman infielder Tim Foli and Peyton Manning in the same column to just further addle. I don’t know, it just feels weird to keep reading these positive Pitt stories. Where’s Smizik with some backhanded smacks  to restore the equilibrium?
