John Antonik: Mountaineers fall in overtime at Kansas

[43rd Parallel]

AN EXCERPT:


The Mountaineers actually shot better from 3 (36 percent) than they did overall (34.9 percent), while also missing 12 key free throws to finish just 57.1 percent from the line.

"It's amazing to be where we are without our two senior guards and we still, coulda- shoulda won the game," said Huggins. "You can look back at some dumb things we did, some missed free throws, some calls that didn't go our way and there were a lot of things that all added up."

West Virginia concludes the regular season on Saturday afternoon against Oklahoma State in a game that will tip off at 2 p.m. and will be televised nationally on ESPNEWS.

That game has already been announced a sell out.

Mitch Vingle: Recruiting, March Madness and other notes

AN EXCERPT:


The recruiting process of South Charleston football standout Derrek Pitts has gone through the roof. As I first reported, Auburn fired the initial shot by offering Pitts on Feb. 22.
Virginia Tech offered this past Saturday. In between, Clemson, Pittsburgh and Charlotte offered, according to Black Eagles coach Donnie Mays.
As of Tuesday afternoon, WVU had not offered. It's my understanding, however, that could be coming soon.

Dave Hickman: WVU takes Kansas to OT before losing

AN EXCERPT:


In the end, Bob Huggins' assessment was as succinct and on point as it possibly could have been.
That didn't make it any less painful, however.
"We deserved to win the game,'' the West Virginia coach said. "We just didn't do enough at the end.''
