West Virginia gets no respect

[lonestar]

West Virginia may have won the National Invitation Tournament, but the Mountaineers' commemorative T-shirts are less than championship material.

They contain a misspelling.

The "West Virginia" printed on the shirts players wore after winning the NIT title with a 78-73 victory over Clemson on Thursday night is missing the last "i" in "Virginia."

The players and coaches proudly wore their West Virgina shirts during the post game ceremony without realizing the mistake.

WVU sports information director Shelly Poe said the NIT printed the shirts.

Calls to tournament officials were not immediately returned today.

West Virginia coach John Beilein also could not be reached for comment. He and the team were on their way back to West Virginia after winning their first NIT title in 65 years.
