December 10th, 2022

No. 14 West Virginia (5-2) dropped its second straight game as the Mountaineers were upset 75-67 by the Manhattan Jaspers (4-5) this evening.

The Jaspers led for the majority of the game as WVU never really showed any signs of life. WVU's biggest lead was four points early in the second half, but with few exceptions, Manhattan claimed the lead for the rest of the game en route to the eight-point victory.

Eddy Ross scored a game-high 16 points for the Jaspers. Jessie Frederick added 13 while Jaison Lamb just missed out on a double-double with 11 points and nine boards.

WVU shot only 36% from the floor and 23% from beyond the arc. Osei Forney tallied a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds, but he only made five of his 16 shot attempts. Allan Pena was the only other Mountaineer to reach double-figures at 11 points, though he also had a poor shooting day.

"We need to right the ship," said Coach Frizzell about his team after the game. "We started off the season really well, but now we're in a bit of a downward spiral that we must correct.

"Next up for us is the Hawaiian Island Classic, so that will be a good opportunity for us to get things back on track, hopefully."

The Mountaineers will open up the Hawaiian Island Classic with a matchup against Ohio on December 15th in Honolulu.

Tough back to back losses, can't imagine West Virginia coming out lifeless against Manhattan unless it stemmed from the Duke loss (Duke sucks).

Seems like the whole team has been cold with the shooting touch lately.

We'll blame it all on Duke, including the shooting woes.

Honolulu, HI
December 15th, 2022

Free throws can be the difference between winning and losing a game. That saying was never more true tonight as the West Virginia Mountaineers (6-2) outscored the Ohio Bobcats (5-5) 25-1 at the free throw line in their 78-46 victory in the first round of the Hawaiian Island Classic.

The Mountaineers' 32-point win comes after dropping two straight games against Duke and Manhattan.

"This was huge for us as we definitely stymied the momentum that had been building against us after our last two games," explained Coach Frizzell. "Now that we have the two-game losing streak behind us, it's time for us to get going and win the Hawaiian Island Classic!"

Osei Forney led the Mountaineers with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Damian French chipped in 11 points and five boards while Allan Pena recorded 12 points and four assists.

Carl Coulter was the only major contributor for Ohio. Coulter scored a team-high 12 points. No other Bobcat scored more than six points.

WVU will take on Hawaii in the semifinals tomorrow evening as the Mountaineers look to defend their Hawaiian Island Classic Title from 2021.

West Virginia (7-2) defeated the Hawaii Warriors (6-5) 83-60 this evening in Honolulu to move on to the Championship Game of the Hawaiian Island Classic. The Mountaineers will face off against the Yale Bulldogs, who defeated San Diego 82-68 earlier today in their semifinal matchup.

Allan Pena added 14 points and four steals while Barry George had one of his best games of the season with 14 points and six assists.

Olu White led Hawaii with 20 points and three assists.

Coach Frizzell and his Mountaineers will face off against Yale tomorrow evening in the Final. It is interesting to note that Frizzell will be going up against one of his former Ivy League conference brethren.

Next up for the Mountaineers will be the Marist Red Foxes next week in the first round of the Casual Apparel Holiday Festival.
