WVU, Texas Tech Seeking No. 2 Seed

MORGANTOWN — When asked about his team’s chance to secure the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Big 12 Conference Championships when No. 21 West Virginia (21-8, 10-6 Big 12) plays host to No. 6 Texas Tech (22-7, 10-6 Big 12) at 9 p.m. on ESPN2, veteran coach Bob Huggins made a unique comparison that caught the media in attendance by surprise.

Carter Joins An Exclusive Club

MORGANTOWN — Jevon Carter has dished out a lot of assists during his four-year career for the No. 21 Mountaineers — 499 to be exact. His next one, however, would put the senior in a class by himself. In the history of college basketball, no player at a major college had ever scored ...

Oklahoma State Spoils WVU Senior Day

MORGANTOWN – West Virginia University and veteran women’s head basketball coach Mike Carey said goodbye to three of its best — seniors Teana Muldrow, Kristina King and Chania Ray — against No. 25 Oklahoma State on Saturday afternoon at the Coliseum. But, it was a pair of upperclassmen — and a very talented freshman — for the Cowboys which stole the show as OSU left town with a 79-69 victory. “When we got down 14 or 15 in that first half we just told the kids to keep grinding and that we would find a way,” OSU coach Jim Littell said following the game. “And, our ...

No. 21 WVU Seeking a Little Payback

By JIM BUTTA For The Intelligencer MORGANTOWN — West Virginia senior Jevon Carter is about to join an exclusive group. So exclusive that the Mountaineers’ point guard will be its only member. No player competing at this level of college basketball has ever scored more than 1,500 points, grabbed 500 rebounds, handed out 500 assists and made 300 steals during their career. ‘JC’ is one assist shy of accomplishing that feat following WVU’s 71-60 win at Baylor on Tuesday night. Heading into his next-to-last home game at the Coliseum, Carter has amassed 1,588 points, 503 ...

WACO, Texas (AP) — Jevon Carter and Esa Ahmad both scored 15 points as No. 21 West Virginia beat Baylor 71-60 on Tuesday night, ending the Bears’ five-game winning streak that had been the longest in the Big 12 Conference.

Baylor (17-11, 7-8) managed to get within 55-43 with after Terry Maston’s jumper. But that was the last of eight straight points for the Bears that capped off a 21-5 run. Their momentum was gone when Daxter Miles ...
