The Road to Resurrection and Respectability for WVU lies in games against the Basement Bottom: Oklahoma 2-6, Oklahoma State 3-5 and, of course, tonight’s opponent, Texas Tech, 0-7.
After Texas Tech, WVU faces impossible task against #15 Auburn and, even though #11 TCU is the Mountaineers’ only victim, at TCU will be a mountain to climb.
So that leaves Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State -- their fellow Basement Bunch -- if WVU is to grasp any kind of respect this season.
Oklahoma will visit Morgantown Saturday, Feb. 4 at 8 pm.
WVU lost to the Sooners on the road, 77-76, so that’s a distinct W possibility in Morgantown.
WVU will visit host Texas Tech Feb. 18 at noon in a 2nd matchup. 2-0 against Tech not out of the question.
WVU will host Oklahoma State Feb. 20 at 7 pm.
WVU lost to the Cowboys, 67-60, on the road. Home matchup isn’t quite as tough for a W.
5-13 in the Big 12 doesn’t sound like much (maybe a victory – I hope, I hope -- against the Magnificent Six at the top of the standings separated by ONE W or L).
But it sure beats 1-17!
Here’s hoping.
#12 Iowa State 6-2
#5 Kansas State 6-2
#10 Texas 6-2
#11 TCU 5-3
#17 Baylor 5-3
#9 Kansas 5-3
Oklahoma State 3-5
Oklahoma 2-6
West Virginia 1-6
Texas Tech 0-7
