Poor shooting dooms WVU basketball against Texas

On Wednesday against Texas, the Mountaineers got worse.

WVU shot 31-percent from the field in the game and had its lowest scoring output of the season in a 56-49 loss in front of 9,881 fans.

“Over the years when I didn’t think our guys were ready to play there were two glaring things – missing easy shots and missing free throws,” said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins. “We weren’t ready to play. We had a horrible practice yesterday to the point where I just told them to get out.”

After the Mountaineers’ loss to Oklahoma last Saturday, WVU basketball has now suffered back-to-back defeats.
