The losing record in the regular season was assured, West Virginia is correct, when it welcomes the number 12 boiler for the matchup of 6 pm on the WDU Coliseum which will be done by ESPN2.
The climbers (8–16, 3-8) have dropped three directly and have not won yet in February, although they return to the floor of their home, where they have registered all eight win against six defeats.
However, the challenge is not easy against a growing beer squad, which has won four of its last five since three-market skids. Bayler (18-6, 7-4) is a race for a large 12 regular season championships, co-League leaders Houston and Iowa State Leave the State behind a game.
“More and more, we all have to look at ourselves in the mirror and find out what we can do to help our program succeed,” WVU interim head coach Josh Eilert said. “It is from top to bottom and it starts with me. Everyone in the program can find ways to improve and this is where we are on. We have to see what we can do today? Can we be the best version of ourselves today?
West Virginia last played on Monday when it suffered an 81-65 defeat to TCU, a result that came in Texas two days after the 36-point shock of climbers.
A team that has struggled for most of the season of the season and has faced seven out of eight big 12 defeats, which continues to search for the answer after waiting more than half the season to play with dual -points to play with their full roster.
“Sometimes the attempt and intensity begin to fall behind, but I think they react quite well in most moments,” said Ilart. “It can be said for a team that is really playing well because we are in the days of the season. Trying to find out how we are the most efficient over our time to make sure that we take the most benefits from each drill and it takes the next scout and rival. Of course, of course, there are moments where you are trying and we also get a lot of opportunities.
Raikain Battle enters 15.6 points in her 14 matches as WVU’s top scorer in Saturday’s competition, while the Center is second in JC Edwards 15 competitions with 14.4 scorin averages. Edwards is also the team’s top rebounder with an average of 8.1.
Despite remembering the first nine matches of the season, the point guard Kerr Chris carries climbers with 42 three-pointers and pursues Quin Slazinsky as the team’s other double-phiger scorer with an average of 11.3 and 13 respectively.
The climbers will be tasked to defend one of the more balanced teams in all of the college basketball. Beers for the season are six players on average double-figure scoring, although the 6-foot-5 guard Langston Love has recalled each of the last two matches due to injury. Love is the third major scorer of the team, with an average of 11.5 points, which are behind fellow guards Jacob Walter (14.1) and Rage Dennis (13.2).
“They always start loading on the guard and have a guard-ivory team,” said Ilart. “Not to remove anything from their front. They always have a number of strength with their guard and it is no different next year.”

For bridges, the 2019 Bill Evans Award winner spent three years as a top high school player from West Virginia and played two sessions in West Virginia and now with The Beer in his second season.

“I saw Jalan in Canasus City in Big 12 media days and I was always having a wonderful relationship with Jalen,” said Elart. “I was excited to see and hug him. I have no one who is sick towards Jalen in any way and I do not think he is sick towards me. You form a relationship in the recruitment process and you know his family and run into his family in the community. Going against him in a separate color jersey will probably be a strangers as a head coach for me.
“In this business, you want your people to succeed in a way or in some other way. I care about Jalen and I hope he does well – not just against climbers.”
