MORGANTOWN – Almost nothing has come easy for West Virginia in the last month, so why would Wednesday have been any different? Sure, the Mountaineers were playing a team that had lost three of its last four games and in front of the third-largest crowd in Coliseum history. But it was still Pitt. And so [...]

NEWARK, N.J. – Devin Ebanks leaned against a wall deep in the bowels of the Prudential Center early Saturday evening, looking every bit like a guy who had just played a full 45 minutes in one of the most bizarre Big East basketball games this season is likely to see. “We keep saying we want [...]

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Word was West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins would take his No. 8 Mountaineers to Disneyland on Saturday, an off day before the championship of the 76 Classic tournament here. Turns out, however, there was no goofing off for WVU. “Heading to practice,” Huggins said around noon Saturday. It was probably a [...]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va – West Virginia’s defense held Pittsburgh to a season-low in points on Friday night, knocking off the No. 8 Panthers, 19-16, at Milan Puskar Stadium. Pitt had scored at least 24 points in each game coming into the 102nd Backyard Brawl, but West Virginia was up to the task in its 2009 home [...]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The good news – as West Virginia heads to play the highest-ranked football team it has faced in a regular season since October 2003 – is that the Mountaineers have won two of their last three games against top 5-ranked teams. The bad news is that WVU is 0-19 all time on [...]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The compartmentalized four-game season West Virginia Coach Bill Stewart commenced following the South Florida loss had just shrunk to three games with an underwhelming 17-9 victory at home against Louisville, quite likely the worst team in the Big East. The totality of the occasion had not escaped Stewart. “We found a way [...]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University and the BIG EAST have announced the television schedule for the 2009-10 men’s basketball season. The Mountaineers will have at least 29 of their 30 regular season games broadcast, including 17 regular season games on national television. WVU will have three games on CBS (at Seton Hall, Ohio State, [...]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – For the second consecutive season, Marshall travels to Mountaineer Field two games above .500 and with a chance to beat West Virginia to go three games above for the first time under Coach Mark Snyder. As far as the Marshall coach’s counterpart in Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. Big East Network game is concerned, [...]

MORGANTOWN – Over the course of a 30-game regular season that stretches across almost four months, it’s good to try to compartmentalize bits and pieces of the ordeal. Perhaps it’s a stretch of games against ranked or unranked opponents, a short road trip or a home stand. That last group is rare for West Virginia [...]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University forward Devin Ebanks was named Big East rookie of the week following his performances in games last week against Davidson and Duquesne. The Long Island City, N.Y., resident scored 13 points and pulled down 17 rebounds in West Virginia’s 68-65 loss to Davidson in the Jimmy V Classic at [...]
