Would you believe me if I told you that West Virginia’s basketball season begins with a scrimmage against Ohio State Saturday? Then it’s an exhibition at home Nov. 4 against Fairmont State and a coaching staff led by Jerrod Calhoun and featuring Joe Mazzulla. Four days later, it’s the regular-season opener at home against Mount St. Mary’s.

Today, it’s the Big 12 media day and I’ve conquered, I think, Internet issues at the Sprint Center because my laptop didn’t realize I was in Kansas City.

I know the feeling. Let’s blog.
