What the Daily Mail is talking about this evening:

– How about that finish for WVU?

“I was kind of lost,” said forward Da’Sean Butler, who’s been a star in the final moments lately, but was happily demoted to spectator with 18,653 others inside HSBC Arena. “It’s probably the first smile I had on the bench in a while. Just sitting there and enjoying myself on the bench was strange.”

– Missouri will try to play Sunday’s game its way.

“You’ve got to handle pressure,” Huggins said. “They’re going to try to make the game crazy and we’ve got to play the game we want to play.”

– WVU didn’t much like the rim it was shooting at in the first half — and that was before an 0-for-11 start.

“I said before the game, ‘This rim is another defender,'” Butler said.

– Kevin Jones was just what the Mountaineers needed and when they needed it.

“Last year, we were kind of depending all on (graduated guard) Alex (Ruoff) and Da’Sean,” Jones said. “This year, we’ve got more guys we can depend on. It’s a big difference for guys like Devin, Truck and me, since we were freshmen last year.”

– This is a hoops holiday for Billy and Matt Hahn.

“It’s a really great thing Matt and his guys made it,” said Billy Hahn, who began his coaching career in Charleston as a Morris Harvey College assistant in 1975-76. “When we were watching the bracket (unveiled Sunday night), I said, ‘Hey, we’re in different regions, but they’re in Buffalo, and we’re in Buffalo.’

“A couple of weeks ago, we talked about who might go where. All I can say is the basketball gods took care of us. They took care of us (the Mountaineers), and Vermont, too, and the Hahn family.”
