Two games separate seventh-place WVU from a four-way tie for
third place.
West Virginia's schedule is favorable for a winning streak.
Following tonight's game against Texas, WVU will visit last-place TCU before
visiting Baylor and hosting Texas Tech at the Coliseum.
WVU Head Coach Bob Huggins said last week that his team has
the potential to be on the NCAA Tournament bubble.
That can only happen if the Mountaineers take care of
winning these games.
WVU certainly has some positives to build upon. The
Mountaineers shot 56 percent from the field and 55 percent from three-point
range. On top of that, they forced 22 Texas Tech turnovers.
It was the kind of performance that has eluded this team.
Every time Texas Tech came back and cut its deficit to four points, WVU
responded and extended its lead.
Baylor is the only Big 12 team West Virginia has not yet
faced this season. WVU overcame a 10-point deficit with less than five minutes
to go in regulation and eventually won 57-53 in overtime.
West Virginia will look to win back-to-back games for the
first time since December when it meets Texas. Tipoff is set for 9 p.m.
