Game Thread: West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders

The WVU Mountaineer men's basketball squad looks to get back on the winning side of things and stay above the .500 mark as they host the Texas Tech Red Raiders this afternoon at the Oliver Garden. WVU's bubble hopes basically imploded earlier this week with a horrid showing against Baylor. Just about the only thing that could get WVU in at this point would be for the Mountaineers to go on a serious run and win out the season and a couple in the conference tournament. It's looking more and more like NIT this year.

Television coverage is being provided by the Big 12 Network (including MASN & YES) & ESPN3 this afternoon at 4 pm ET. So, find a warm, dry, comfortable spot, grab a favorite beverage or threeve, and join in on the running commentary, random observations, silly images, snark, wit, bitches, complaints, moans, groans, cheers, celebration and jubilation in the comments section below.
