The Shotgun/Throwdown: West Virginia loses fifth straight, Huggins names new assistant coach

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

After five Big 12 games, the West Virginia men’s basketball team is now 0-5 in conference play. The Mountaineers’ latest loss was to Oklahoma on Saturday in Norman. WVU was in the game the entire time, never trailing by more than nine points, but the Mountaineers never led during the game.

Free throws were, again, a significant contributing factor to their loss. WVU missed all of its free throws in the first half and missed four free throws in the final two minutes of the game.
