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

After a very rough start to the game for West Virginia’s starting five, multiple Mountaineers came off the bench to give the WVU men’s basketball team boosts of energy and scoring, which led to a 76-61 win at Texas Tech last night.

Senior guard Joe Toussaint came into the game and took over for WVU. He led the Mountaineers in scoring with 22 points, while also grabbing three steals. Sophomore forward James Okonkwo provided great energy too, grabbing 10 rebounds and having a couple of spectacular blocks.
