#11 Seed: West Virginia's 2009/10 squad were a resilient team whose play matched coach Bob Huggins intensity.  Led by the all around talent of Da'Sean Butler, the Mountaineers peaked in March, putting together an impressive 10 game winning streak when it mattered most.   Kevin Jones and Devin Banks added enough front line strength to help lead WVU to the Big East tourney title, as well as a knock-out Elite 8 effort that took down a 1-seeded Kentucky in the process. The Mountaineers ran into a Duke team/program hungry for its 4th title in their Final Four battle.  Duke played as well as they did all year, inadvertently taking out Mountaineer star Da'Sean Butler by injury in the process, as the Blue Demons rolled to a 78-57 semifinal victory.
