West Virginia fans storm the court after Baylor upset, anger everyone (Video)
By Jack Crosby
West Virginia pulled off the upset of Baylor on Tuesday, and the Mountaineers fans stormed the court. As the No. 10 team in the country, people are angry
The Baylor Bears did not last all too long as the No. 1 team in the country. Just one day after earning their first-ever top ranking in the AP Poll, they went on the road to Morgantown and just simply got waxed by the West Virginia Mountaineers.
Now while this can certainly be considered an upset seeing as Baylor was the No. 1 team in the nation, this win by West Virginia on Tuesday should not be all that shocking. You see, West Virginia is no slouch this season, as they came into the game ranked No. 10 in the nation.
Still, following the bug win, as is customary, the West Virginia fans stormed the court to celebrate.
Of course, this creates quite the problem for some. People have issues with court-storming for a variety of reasons, and they really have a problem with it when the team pulling off the “upset” isn’t all that far behind the higher-ranked team in the poll.
So, folks on the internet had their opinions on West Virginia fans celebrating the big win on Tuesday night in Morgantown.
you're ranked 10 and you're at home? West Virginia was barely even an underdog. Why don't we just storm the court every win nowadays?

C'mon West Virginia have some class! You do NOT storm the court when you beat No.1 when you are also a top 10 team! That is PATHETIC!

No 10 over No 1 is storm worthy? No. Act like the highly ranked team you are West Virginia.
