WVU Hoops Struggles: Consecutive Losses Mount
22 Feb
Summary
- West Virginia lost to TCU 60-54, marking consecutive losses.
- The team's reliance on contested three-pointers hindered offense.
- TCU's dominant offensive rebounding proved costly for WVU.

West Virginia has now lost consecutive games after falling to TCU 60-54 on Saturday evening. This defeat brings their season record to 16-11 overall and 7-7 in conference play.
The Mountaineers' offensive strategy was questioned, particularly their high volume of contested three-point attempts, which contributed to slow starts. The team's failure to consistently drive to the basket and utilize their interior players was noted as a significant weakness.
TCU dominated the offensive boards, pulling down 19 rebounds and converting them into 13 second-chance points. This lack of defensive rebounding focus allowed TCU to extend possessions and capitalize on scoring opportunities.
Following this loss, West Virginia's prospects for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament appear diminished. The team has struggled offensively, often finding themselves in low-scoring games, and has not demonstrated consistent play worthy of a tournament spot.
West Virginia is scheduled to play Oklahoma State on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. ET, with the game broadcast on ESPN.
