Northwestern State at West Virginia

Everyone loves to love the Mountaineers. They are the darling of many this season with lots of folks putting them in the Sweet 16 in their brackets. People also just like to say "Pittsnogle."They likely get the win today but don't count out Northwestern State that easily. The Demons got an unbelievable buzzer beater three to knock out Iowa on Friday. Many people think they got lucky with that. Maybe on that shot they did. But, I look at the fact that this team came back from 17 down with less than nine minutes to go. They came back against the Big Ten champion to win it. They are definitely peaking, having won eight straight and 16 of 17 games. West Virginia is just 2-1 in their last three and 3-5 in their last eight. The public will be all over West Virginia in this one (admit it, your gut tells you to take the Mountaineers). But, I'm on the Demons for two stars.
