THE SHOTGUN THROWDOWN: Mountaineers fall to K-State, but get elite invite for next season

Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.

TOUGH ROAD LOSS

The West Virginia men’s basketball team scored 42 points in the first half to build a seven-point lead on Tuesday, but Kansas State stormed back to beat the Mountaineers, 78-73. Fifth-year senior Taz Sherman scored 15 points in the first half and finished the game with a team-high 23, and redshirt freshman Isaiah Cottrell had the best offensive game of his career with 13 points, but a ten-minute field goal drought for WVU in the second half doomed the Mountaineers.
