If you go by only their last game, sure West Virginia has no chance, but I think its unlikely that they play that poorly two games in a row.  From what I've seen, West Virginia throws up a lot of threes and hits the boards very hard.  They also play tough defense.  That is not a bad gameplan to have going up against Syracuse, and I think West Virginia does pose some match up problems.  
 
I'm not saying we lose, but a loss is certainly possible.  It would not be as unexpected as losing to Notre Dame.  
 
Also, if Fab does not end up playing, West Virginia is a team that can exploit that.  Talk about bad luck.  We just played a run of games against smaller, quicker teams (Providence twice, Villanova, Marquette).  Had Fab missed any of those games we would have hardly noticed.  But the minute Fab cant play we go up against three teams in a row who have a big strong center with the ability to score in the post.  Bad luck.
 
Even so, I dont think West Virginia scores a ton of points against us.  I have a hunch Waiters will have big bounce back game, and I am thinking there is a pretty good chance that SU comes out with a win.  But if they do it will be a good win.  West Virginia is a decent team who matches up pretty well against us.
