Game Notes

  • West Virginia leads the all-time series with a 66-53 record. The last matchup between these two programs came on January 31, 1991 - when both schools were still in the Atlantic 10 Conference - and saw the Nittany Lions defeat the Mountaineers, 66-63, in Morgantown. Today’s game will not count against the all-time series record.
  • Proceeds from today’s game will benefit the American Red Cross’ hurricane relief efforts. The NCAA approved that an institution may use one of its possible two exhibition games against a Division I institution for the purposes of raising funds for a catastrophic event.
  • Bob Huggins has never faced Penn State as a head coach. Huggins was 4-2 as a player at West Virginia against Penn State.
  • WVU is one of nine schools to win 25 or more games four straight years. WVU is 105-39 since the 2014-15 season. The last time West Virginia won 25 or more games in four consecutive years was from 1957-60.
  • The Mountaineers own a 1,756-1,079 all-time record in intercollegiate basketball competition, ranking the Mountaineers 22nd in wins among all Division I schools.
  • WVU has earned 29 NCAA berths and 16 NIT trips since 1941, and has finished in the Top 25 21 times, including an amazing nine straight years from 1955-63.
  • On Nov. 6, 2017, Director of Athletics Shane Lyons announced a four-year contract extension to 2021-22 for Bob Huggins. It will extend his relationship with the University until 2027. Under the agreement, following the 2021-22 season, Huggins will assume a five-year Emeritus status within the WVU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, which concludes June 30, 2027.
