Watching a great basketball game is smiliar to watching an elite ballet performance--it is all about blending fundamental techiniques with outrageous maneuvers performed by skilled athletes. Yet in basketball there's the additional ball, a basket, and the fans are allowed to scream non-stop. There is no 6th man in ballet that I'm aware of, but that might add an interesting almost Shakespearian perspective to the art....
It is a fact; I love shooting football, but I love watching basketball.

The Mountaineers won at home after several wins away. My dream for the team this season is to have the Holmes Center filled to capacity while witnessing Fancher's team dominate.
And here's the bonus-- the shy Fancher "We won" smile:
