The only difference is Providence commits slightly more turnovers. What does this tell me? There are no reason's why West Virginia shouldn't win as they should. But, there is not a reason why Providence can't upset West Virginia either. The most important factor I see in this game has nothing to do with the guys playing on the court. While some teams, like Syracuse and Villanova are playing to get into the NCAA tournament. Tim Welsh (Providence) is coaching for his job, and I think that will make the difference today.
Outcome: Providence upsets West Virginia 79-77
Big East Tournament: Round 1, Game 2
