 Governor Releases Statement About WVU Men's Basketball 

3/29/2010  Gov. Joe Manchin released this statement about the WVU men’s basketball team’s historic journey to the Final Four:

“I personally want to thank and congratulate Coach Huggins, the entire West Virginia University (WVU) Mountaineer Basketball Team, WVU Athletic Department and all of the faithful fans for such a remarkable season. With Saturday night’s victory over the Kentucky Wildcats, West Virginia has reached a level of play we’ve not seen for 51 years. The eyes of the nation are turned toward the team and I am so proud of how they have represented WVU and the state. The excitement and talent we see with this team is a very special combination and something we will remember for many, many years to come.

“While I was unable to attend Saturday night’s triumph over the Wildcats, I plan to be in Indianapolis this week to cheer on the Mountaineers. I urge all West Virginians to show their support for the team this week and let them know how proud we are to be in ‘The Big Dance.’”
