Carter, Miles Jr. Lead Senior Night Victory

MORGANTOWN — Normally, the emotions surrounding playing one’s final game at home is too much for the player and his performance will suffer because of them. That was not be the case Monday night at the Coliseum as a sellout crowd gave seniors Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles Jr. the ovation each deserved during pregame ceremonies and then the two standouts gave the packed house everything it needed to cheer for as they led the Mountaineers on a 16-0 run as No. 20 West Virginia’s went on to hand No. 12 Texas Tech an 84-74 setback on ESPN’s ‘Big Monday’. The duo, which has 220 ...

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.

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 ...
