With the victory, the Mountaineers improve to 23-7 on the year. It was the final home game at the WVU Coliseum, serving as senior night for Jonathan Holton, Jaysean Paige and Richard Romeo. All three players were rewarded for their dedication to the program with a sweet victory over an up-and-coming Red Raiders squad.
This was the second win by the WVU basketball team over Texas Tech this season. On Jan. 23 in Lubbock, Texas, it got a little too close for comfort as the Mountaineers snuck out with an 80-76 victory.
Luckily, that wasn’t the case on Wednesday.
