SPILLY!!!!

West Virginia's De'Sean Butler just attempted to run down a loose ball in front of his own bench. Nichols was unable to get the ball, but he did go through a row of chairs and smack into the 40-gallon (I'm guessing) bucket of sangria (well, it looked like sangria; maybe it wa just Powerade) that was atop a cart behind the bench. Suddenly, it was Valdez time in the U.S. Airways Arena, as the entire contents spilled right before us.

Now, as anyone who knows me knows, that's my department. Spilling. I was just an eye-witness this time, though.

Give it up for thegame crew, though. They've brought more towels than a JW Marriott holds to cover the spill and even a new cart with two more giant sangria containers. Cool. How come Exxon wasn't this resourceful?

Oh, and moments after that spillage event, West Virginia hit a shot to take its first lead of the game, 52-51. It's now 57-55, Xavier.

Postscript: At the under-8 minute TV timeout, Butler comes over to the new sangria station and gets himself a cup of bug juice. You earned it, De'Sean.

I'm about to ask the dudes who cleaned up this mess how much they'd charge to do my apartment each week. They're fast and they're effective.
