CINCINNATI — ESPN's Scott Van Pelt had to pull a 180 with his show for the Bad Beat Dan Skillings Jr. doled out to West Virginia -3.5 bettors on Wednesday night.

The forward hit two prayer threes in the final 10 seconds to bring the final deficit to 62-59 when WVU easily should've covered. Alas, they gave up the first three and Skillings stole the ensuing inbound to give Bearcats bettors one of the luckiest covers you'll ever see.
