WVU v. Texs Tech: Are we going streaking?

You are looking live at the Sprint Center, where WVU has never played a game before tonight’s trilogy-concluding game against Texas Tech. The Mountaineers are 0-2 all-time in the City of Fountains with losses to Kentucky and Texas in the 2005 Guardians Classic at the Municipal Auditorium.

They’re 0-3 all-time in Missouri with the third loss coming in the Savvis Center in 2003, John Beilein’s first season. That was a 75-45 blowout against the Saint Louis Billikens in which Tyrone Sally was sick, Drew Schifino scored 22 points and everyone else scored 23.

Oh, and Curtis Shaw hit Beilein with a T. Imagine that.

Other streaks at stake tonight: The Mountaineers have lose six in a row. They need four straight wins to reach a fifth straight NCAA Tournament and a 10th straight postseason appearance.

About that: No team has won four games in four days in the Big 12 tournament, which means only a top-four seed has won the title (actually, only Nos. 1-3 have won). WVU is the No. 8 seed. Must be a “hell of a league.”

Let’s roll …
