The Mountaineers await the winner of the Texas Tech-TCU tilt, which is tonight at 9 p.m.
West Virginia handled both the Red Raiders and the Horned Frogs with relative ease during the regular season. Really, it doesn’t matter who the WVU basketball team goes up against on Thursday.
But it would be in the best interest of the Mountaineers if they can square off against TCU.
The Red Raiders, coming off the heels of their head coach, Tubby Smith, being named the Big 12 Coach of the Year, are also one of the hottest teams in the conference right now.
