By Bob Hertzel MORGANTOWN — No one possibly can know if West Virginia University’s No. 9-ranked men’s basketball team will win tonight in its game at South Florida because no one can possibly know how the team will react to the tough loss it suffered on the road at Notre Dame. See, life on the road in [...]

MORGANTOWN — There is no one on this green earth — OK, white earth — who was surprised that West Virginia lost at Notre Dame on Saturday night. That was as sure as freezing temperatures tonight and snow tomorrow. Happens every time they go there, 10 straight now. So that the Mountaineers lost was not disturbing. How they lost [...]

South Florida football coach Jim Leavitt has been fired following an investigation of an allegation that he struck one of his players in the locker room.

Kevin Jones scored a career-high 23 and Butler added 18 and nine rebounds for the Mountaineers (8-0), who did just enough against a bothersome 2-3 zone [...]

MORGANTOWN – The way Bob Huggins figures it, he took about 19 hours of classes for every semester he played basketball and studied at West Virginia. “I was bored,” said the Mountaineers coach who was a two-time Academic All-American and graduated magna cum laude a year before he earned his master’s degree. “And I had a [...]

MORGANTOWN — There are days when West Virginia turns the ball over a lot. It drives Bob Huggins crazy, but he can live with it. There are days when they miss a lot of shots. That drives Huggins crazy, too, but he can live with that. Even turnovers don’t send him off onto a tirade. But play bad [...]
