No. 8 West Virginia got all it could handle for the first 30 minutes of the annual Backyard Brawl against the streaking Pittsburgh Panthers (18-9, 8-7 Big East). The Panthers entered the game having won three games in a row, including wins over Louisville and Notre Dame, and looked like they may be well on their way to upsetting the visiting Mountaineers (22-6, 11-4 Big East) as they played the Mountaineers to a dead heat for the first three-quarters of the game. The Panthers and the Mountaineers were tied at 26 points apiece at halftime.

However, the Mountaineers' shooting finally came alive during the middle portions of the second half as the Mountaineers rocketed ahead from the dead heat. In the end, WVU would wind up outscoring the Panthers 47-25 in the second half en route to a 73-51 victory over Pittsburgh.

It is WVU's sixth consecutive victory. The Mountaineers had to look outside of Tre Welch for help as Welch struggled tonight to only six points and five boards. The biggest help came from off the bench as Nile Stevenson had a fantastic outing. The freshman tallied 20 minutes of action and recorded 16 points and five rebounds during his time on the floor, sinking eight of his 13 shot attempts. D.C. Montgomery also had a nice outing as he totaled 15 points, seven rebounds, and three assists while Jud Helms added 12 points and three steals. Leandro Summers was a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court as he ended with 10 points, three rebounds, and a career-high five steals.

WVU won the turnover battle against the Panthers 19 to six in what could be described as the ultimate deciding factor on the box score.

West Virginia will host St. John's and DePaul next week before closing out the season on the road against Louisville on March 7th.

St. John's (19-10) vs. #6 West Virginia (23-6)
WVU Coliseum
Morgantown, WV
February 23rd, 2027

As a bubble team, the St. John's Red Storm (19-10, 7-8 Big East) came into this game looking to make a statement win to add to their resume. For a majority of the game, it looked like they had a decent shot at doing just that as they played No. 7 West Virginia (23-6, 12-4 Big East) to a virtual tie until the closing minutes. In the end, talent prevailed, however, as WVU's cast of stars finally got things together to seal a 75-69 victory over the Red Storm.

Tre Welch tallied 16 points and 11 rebounds for WVU. D.C. Montgomery struggled for most of the game, but came up big in the closing minutes as he ended with 17 points, three rebounds, and five assists. Anderson Black also had a very nice outing as he totaled 14 points, four rebounds, four assists, and seven steals (a career-high).

The Mountaineers forced St. John's into 21 turnovers while only committing 10 of their own. In a close game, that huge margin made all the difference in the world.

Junior guard Lanny Hawkins led St. John's in scoring with 13 points while Daon Dalgarn came off the bench to add 10 points.

The Mountaineers will host DePaul on Senior Night on Saturday.

vs.
DePaul (8-21) vs. #7 West Virginia (24-6)
WVU Coliseum
Morgantown, WV
February 27th, 2027

No. 7 West Virginia (24-6, 13-4 Big East) completed the season sweep of the DePaul Blue Demons (8-21, 3-13 Big East) tonight as they defeated DePaul 90-73 on Senior Night. However, just as in their earlier meeting this season in Chicago, the game was closer than most would have probably expected.

DePaul kept the game close until the closing minutes, when WVU finally pulled ahead. The Blue Demons only trailed by a single point at halftime and though they never pulled ahead in the second half, they did keep the lead within single digits for much of it.

D.C. Montgomery led all players in scoring with 26 points, four rebounds, and three assists as he sank a career-best eight three-pointers. Tre Welch tallied a double-double with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and two blocks as did Jud Helms, who ended with 13 points and 14 rebounds.

Antario Silva led DePaul with a team-high 20 points and nine assists. Melvin Nelke added 13 points and three rebounds from off the bench while senior forward Mathew Duffy added 10 points and five rebounds.

The Mountaineers will close out the season next Sunday against Louisville on the road. The Cardinals defeated the Mountaineers 83-76 in their earlier meeting this season in Morgantown on January 27th. The Mountaineers have not lost a game since as they are on an eight-game winning streak.

March 7th, 2027

No. 6 West Virginia (25-6, 14-4 Big East) won its ninth consecutive game this evening to clinch the Big East Regular Season Title and the #1 seed in the 2027 Big East Tournament as the Mountaineers defeated No. 15 Louisville (20-8, 12-6 Big East) 99-85.

The Mountaineers had perhaps their greatest offensive performance of the season as they shot lights-out at a 64% clip from the field and 19-for-25 from the free throw line. The Mountaineers also made six of their 13 attempts from beyond the three point arc. Louisville was no slouch as they shot 53% from the field, but they just could not keep up with the WVU scoring juggernaut.

Tre Welch led WVU with a dominating 22-point, seven-rebound performance as he sank eight of his 12 shot attempts. Jud Helms tallied 17 points and six rebounds while Leonardo Summers hit four threes and ended with 15 points and three rebounds. D.C. Montgomery added 15 points and three steals.

Dawan Wood led Louisville in scoring with 19 points, three rebounds, eight assists, and three steals. Abe Leonard added 17 points and three assists while Ralfael Dieng tallied 13 points and six boards. Colin Holloway also had a nice game down low, ending with 13 points, six rebounds, and three assists.

West Virginia will now await the Big East Tournament, which starts next week.

Re: Coaching Legacy of James Frizzell (CH 2K8)

Good luck in the tourney. The Big East is stacked. Looking at teams like Cincinnati and St John's with 19 wins and they were #10 and #11 seeds. I assume their RPI's are not high enough to get them a NCAA bid

Also nice to see my former team Richmond in the the Top-25 and my current team WSU still being a West Coast Power. With 4 Pac-10 teams in the Top-25 looks like the Pac-10 tourney could be tough for the Cougars.

Re: Coaching Legacy of James Frizzell (CH 2K8)

when my season ended with California WVU was one of the schools that offered me a contract.. i accepted it.. since it's the Big East and i'm very familiar with the school

but i kept thinking of this legacy.. there'd be 2 WVU legacies here!!

plus what the school had shocked me.. the retiring coach had committed the
#1 overall and #2 overall recruits when i signed on!! IMAGINE MY SHOCK

then i just simmed ahead to see how easy/hard recruiting would be if i'm in wvu.. I managed to sign the #1 overall recruit the very next year!

....that team would've been so stacked as much as i wanted to, i could not stay there

but WVU rocks, i miss their arena
