CG and others touched on this but I too had flashbacks to the '94 Sugar Bowl. The intent was the same. WVU obviously perceived us as a soft team, just like they did the football team, and proceeded to punk us before or early in the game with the same result. Thanks for the wake up call Huggins.
In addition, the elbow to the face of Allen late in the game was 100% intentional. He jumped into Allen, not vertically, with his elbow at a 45 degree angle. This was a textbook example of a flagrant foul but the refs saw nothing.
I am happy we won but happier that we beat a bunch of thugs led by the chief thug
