AUSTIN, Texas--West Virginia University's basketball team is coming off a blowout win over the top-ranked Baylor Bears on Tuesday. Now the 10th-ranked Mountaineers travel to Texas to battle the Longhorns at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin.
WVU (14-2, 3-1 Big 12) has used its smothering pressure defense to wear down opponents all season. From the opening tip to the final buzzer, they are constantly in opponents' face.
The Mountaineers forced Baylor to turn the ball over a season-high 29 times. WVU has forced more turnovers (394) than its opponents have made field goals (337) this season.
The Mountaineers lead the country in scoring margin (28.3), turnover margin (13,9), turnovers forced (24.3) and steals (12.9).
Against the Bears, Jevon Carter

    At Ole Miss The Tailgaters Never Lose Summary

    In the article “At Ole Miss, the Tailgaters Never Lose” by William L. Hamilton, readers learn about the famous football-weekend parties at the Grove on the University of Mississippi. The article uses spatial organization because the writer focuses on the location and tailgating happening at one place. Hamilton also uses topical organization, moving from the past to present in different parts of the article. This helped the reader to understand more about the past of Ole Miss and how things became the way they are today. The author is a detached spectator in Ole Miss and did not participate in the story or tailgating.…

    National Marking Day Research Paper

    There is always drama and suspense leading up to National Signing Day which has become the most important day to college football teams all around the country but that wasn't the case this afternoon for the West Virginia Mountaineers. Today saw Coach Holgorsen and his staff sign every committed player that was expected to sign, sign with the Mountaineers. West Virginia failed to sign a quarterback in this class which concerns some fans but don't forget that WVU has Will Grier (JR), Chris Chugunov (SO), and Cody Saunders (FR). There is youth at the position but as we have seen before you can never have enough experience at the quarterback position. Two strengths that West Virginia walked away with in this class are defensive line and defensive backfield which should make defensive coordinator Tony Gibson a very happy man.…

    Personal Narrative: Big Blue Villanova

    Buzzer beaters, doing things at the last second, and flying by the seat of our pants has always have been a motto of the Kaliner family. As a child, I grew up in the suburbs of Wayne, Pennsylvania in a middle-class family with the standard value of keeping family first. At about 4, my family and I moved to Villanova, Pennsylvania, where my life finally kickstarted. Enrolling in school, competing in sports, and loving my family, Villanova was where this all started.

    Requiem For The Big East Essay

    Requiem For The Big East is about a great conference that dominated men’s college basketball for a long time of the past 35 years, held the highest conference tournament at New York’s Madison Square Garden. It’s too satisfying in the long run, continually returning to the final Syracuse/Georgetown conference matchup in the semifinal of the 2013 Big East tournament. Conferences like the Pac-12, the Big Ten, and ACC that have had relatively equal success in football and basketball are still standing. And it’s sad that the Big East, the main event for the northeast basketball schools that often didn’t have the best campuses of state universities elsewhere in the country, was forced to participate in an athletic revenue…
