The Mountaineers are coming off an 84-59 win over Eastern Kentucky on Dec. 21 before traveling to Blacksburg, Va. to play the Hokies on Wednesday.
It’s a big game because of the fact it’s Virginia Tech. The Mountaineers and Hokies were longtime rivals as members of the Big East Conference, but the two teams have faced each other in the past three seasons.
The Mountaineers have won two of those three meetings.
Winning in this upcoming match up is somewhat monumental, as WVU basketball coach Bob Huggins is one win away from moving into 12th all-time in college basketball history.
