Texas Tech basketball: Why the Red Raiders lost to West Virginia

Texas Tech basketball fans knew that winning in Morgantown wasn’t going to be easy. It never is.

For instance, remember that last year, the best Texas Tech team ever had to scratch out a 62-59 win at West Virginia. That was against the worst team Bob Huggins has had in his time at his alma mater.

What helped push Tech over the hump in 2019, the first time the program had ever won at WVU, was a fantastic game from its best player. After being held without a point in the first half, eventual Big 12 Player of the Year, Jarrett Culver, had 18 points to lead his team to the win.
