Tornado? Power outage? Pitch black? No problem. Mizzou beats West Virginia in this weird NCAA tourney game featuring Jeff Warren scoring in the dark. Way to be there Jeff.

2010 -- WVU: 68 | Mizzou: 59

Not as stylish, but I love it.

- You guys played a good game, congrats on a great run & hope Butler's knee heals. By the way WVU is now the 6th straight team to eliminate Mizzou from the Big Dance and then move on to the Final Four. We are the good luck charm of the NCAA Tourney, Huggy should try to get in our bracket every year.

WVU was using its deep bench to wear out the thin Missouri squad until the power went out and gave them much-needed rest.

Without the power failure WVU wins this game easily.

woulda, shoulda, coulda. Seems your deep bench got as much rest from the power as the thin Missouri squad did. You guys played a good game, but were never up by much at any point, so your comment is kinda laughable. No offense.

You are really cute.

Would've been cool to see em play in the dark.

The Duke Blue Devils (the 1992 tournament’s top seed) played the Campbell Fighting Camels (first-ever tournament appearance) at 7:40 PM in the 1st game after the power outage affair between Missouri & West Virginia. Duke player Tony Lang is unrelated to current Fighting Camels head coach (since 2003) Robbie Laing (b. 3/5/58 in Hancock, Houghton County, MI—where there’s Mason, Ripley, Senter, Dreamland & Schoolcraft Twnshp.).
