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

The WVU men's basketball team completes its Texas two-step tonight in Lubbock where Coach Huggins will match wits with Tubby Smith and the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Juwan Staten should be back in the lineup, but could be limited, depending on the after effects of his reported illness. Regardless of his status, the Mountaineers should be in good enough shape with Gary Browne running things. Let's avoid the Raider Rash and come home with two Big 12 victories before we take on Iowa State.
