March Madness Picks: West Virginia vs. DukeThe highest rated movie in the West Virginia Mountaineers meeting room has to be the film from the Duke-Belmont NCAA Tournament West Regional first round game in Washington D.C. on Thursday. The young Mountaineers should take plenty of encouragement from watching that game knowing they play a similar style as Belmont but with bigger and stronger players. Duke was able to hold on against Belmont pulling out a 71-70 win. 

It could be said that Duke got a wake-up call, courtesy of the tiny school from Nashville, Tenn. If a wake-up call is all Duke needed then that could be bad news for West Virginia, Duke’s second round opponent Saturday afternoon with tip-off at 2:10 p.m. ET from the Verizon Center in Washington. 

Online sports book SportsBetting.com has installed the Blue Devils as a 4-point favorite ATS with a SU money line price of -190. The total opened at 147 and after moving up one point is holding at 148.

"We could have been back in Durham today. We could have been back home, watching games," said Duke forward Lance Thomas, who like his teammates was happier than usual to go through the grind of getting ready to play West Virginia. "We're fortunate enough to still be here, playing games." 

West Virginia had an easier time in its first round game, a double-digit 75-65 victory over the Arizona Wildcats of the Pac-10 conference. Junior point guard Alex Ruoff led the Mountaineers to victory as he poured in 21 points including a couple of 3-point bombs that doomed the Wildcats. Ruoff was 8-of-11 overall and 5-of-7 from 3-point land. 

Da’Sean Butler scored 19 points and grabbed seven rebounds and Darris Nichols and Joe Alexander contributed 14 points each for the Mountaineers, now 25-10 under first-year coach Bob Huggins.
