MORGANTOWN \u2014 It doesn’t happen often, but there it was late Sunday night, images and sounds from West Virginia’s stirring overtime victory over Oklahoma to win the College Basketball Crown championship in Las Vegas invading my consciousness.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t a moment, as the Mountaineers’ coach Ross Hodge would admit, like winning the NCAA Championship. No one puts Winning the Crown Championship: on their “Things to Do in 2026” list, but somehow this didn’t seem as inconsequential as maybe it should have.<\/p>\n
