This will end a five year drought for one of the longest rivalries in college basketball as 2012 was the last time the rivalry was played. The series will consist of two home-and-homes as 2017 and 2019 will be played in the Petersen Event Center while 2018 and 2020 will be held in the WVU Coliseum. As celebration, I give you Devin Ebanks.
