In the Elite Eight, Graham had the chance to avenge last year's loss to Lafayette. Tonight, he avenges the defeat he suffered at the hands of that team's coach.

You might remember that Douglas Richburg left Lafayette for UCLA last May. Coach Richburg is a long-time friendly foe of Graham's, since he coached at Bucknell before moving to Lafayette to replace Coach Sims.

The brightest star for the Wildcats tonight is Reed Weisberg, who contributed 22 points (6-for-8 from long range), 4 rebounds, 4 assists...and zero turnovers! Asher Wise finishes with 17 points and 6 boards. Lowell Welter scores 12, rebounds 6 and blocks 2. Kris DeMello posts 11 points and 2 blocks, and Justice Stafford and Ernest Adcock combine for 10 assists.

Adcock's fellow second teamers, Clemens Schwaiger and Noah Gardner, also make impacts. Clemens hauls in 10 rebounds and scores 7 points, and Noah scores 9 points in as many minutes.

A put-back by Booker Brent enables West Virginia to defeat Michigan State, 65-63...so we'll face the team we battled to the wire for the Big East title with an even bigger prize at stake.
Record: 35-4.
