New York, NY (Sports Network) - Da'Sean Butler provided the final theatrics of the Big East Tournament, pouring home a layup with 4.2 seconds remaining to give seventh-ranked West Virginia a thrilling 60-58 win over 22nd-ranked Georgetown to help the Mountaineers capture their first conference tournament title. Butler finished with 20 points and six rebounds for third-seeded WVU (27-6), which won its sixth straight to win a conference tournament for the first time since the 1984 Atlantic 10 Tournament. Wellington Smith finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds -- six on the offensive end -- and was a main factor in shutting down Georgetown stalwart center Greg Monroe. Monroe recorded tournament-lows of 11 points and six rebounds for the Hoyas (23-10), who were looking to win a Big East-record eighth tournament title. Chris Wright had 20 points and seven assists but missed a potential game-tying layup attempt at the buzzer. Austin Freeman added 14 points in defeat.

As a Bearcats fan,
You go Hugs..
Cincinnati, you need to understand what in the hell you did 5 years ago. Jeff Wyler and all of the board members are freakin idiots. What does Cincy have now? Cronin? WTF
Even though I love the Bearcats, I will always be a Huggins fan. At least I can chear and watch a good team in the Dance, or at least until Cincy gets a new coach that can teach talented players how to win. I’m starving for a winning team.
