Ye olde notebook:
• So, finally it’s here.
The War of the Words. WVU’s Bob Huggins versus Marshall’s Dan D’Antoni. (In the tale of the tape, Huggins has the decided size advantage, but D’Antoni is wiry and cagey.)
Except, of course, the Capital Classic has nothing to do with words. And the coaches won’t be squaring off. Bringing us to the real tale of the tape.
Which favors West Virginia. The Mountaineers are No. 20 in the latest Associated Press poll. They are 8-1, while the Thundering Herd is 3-6.
Understand something though: MU has the attention of WVU’s coaches after reeling off three straight wins.
