Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.
A lackadaisical start set the Mountaineers back in their Tuesday night loss at #15 TCU. The West Virginia men’s basketball team had built some momentum with back-to-back wins over Texas Tech and then-#15 Auburn and had a prime opportunity to steal a crucial Big 12 road win with the absence of TCU’s Mike MIles, but the Horned Frogs outplayed WVU in the paint to get a close 76-72 win.
Senior forward Tre Mitchell probably had the best performance of the night for the Mountaineers.
