The Shotgun/Throwdown: Mountaineers defeat #11 Iowa State for second straight home win

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

After blowing out Oklahoma on Saturday night, the West Virginia men’s basketball team kept the home-court momentum going with an important win over #11 Iowa State.

Experience helped the Mountaineers in this up-and-down game. WVU jumped out to an early lead in the first half. In the second half, the Cyclones scoring improved, and the Mountaineers’ shooting declined slightly, which helped ISU get back in the game.

Fifth-year senior Kedrian “Keddy” Johnson led WVU with 22 points and six assists.
