And when I say  “wiseguy,” I mean professional gambler Alan Boston. To be truthful, Boston’s faith in WVU resides mostly in the fact he likes North Dakota State to beat Kansas.

“Now, I like North Dakota State because when Tim Miles first started that program he recruited all these freshman. They went into Marquette and won and went to Wisconsin and won. Now they are a veteran team and they are playing a team loaded with young players. They are very well coached and Kansas isn’t. This would be a culmination of all that time they spent together. I expect their gameplan will be laid out better than Kansas’ will. Bill Self is no idiot, but I like the other coach better.”
