Granted, Iowa State and Texas Tech were missing key players, but the Mountaineers still played well overall in those games. Texas appeared to be another good chance for an in, even on the road, because they, too, were missing some key pieces. Instead, the Mountaineers played a disinterested game. Hus- tling for rebounds and loose balls? Not there. Leaving shooters open? Still there. Obviously, that is not a recipe for success, and it against the Longhorns, it resulted in a dis- appointing 87-79 overtime loss. Next up is the Big 12 tournament, which will be followed by the NCAA tournament. For the Big 12, WVU is the third-seed (they tied for second with Texas Tech, but lost the tiebreaker). They start against the sixth seeded Bay- lor Bears. WVU swept Baylor in the regular season, but the Bears probably need at least one more win to make the NCAA tournament. Which means WVU is running into a desperate team not what you want to see. A win means a likely semi-final game against Texas Tech on Friday. This Sunday is selection Sun- day, so WVU will find out its fate then. Fortunately, this is another year under Bob Huggins that the Mountaineers will not be sweat- ing it out on the bubble; they know they are in, so the questions are what seed (probably 4 or 5) and who are the opponents in WVU’s bracket? Besides the men’s basketball team, several WVU athletes have been punching tickets to their own NCAA Championships recently. The track team is sending two to this week’s Indoor Track & Field Championships. Amy Cashin (mile) and Madelin Gardner (pole vault) will be the first Mountain- eers in five years to compete at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Congrats and good luck to Amy and Madelin! It has also been five years since WVU women have competed at the NCAA Swimming Champion- ships. But Morgan Bullock and Emma Harris have both earned their way. Bullock is a sophomore flyer and Harris is a junior breast- stroke specialist. Their meet will be next week. The men will find out this week if any of them have qualified. Three wrestlers clinched NCAA bids at the Big 12 wrestling championships. Zeke Moisey (125) and Jacob Smith (197) finished second, and Matthew Schmitt (133) finished fourth. All of those were high enough finishes to gain entry to the NCAA Championships next week. Notes: The quarterfinal against Baylor will be Thursday night. The scheduled tip is 9:00, but will probably be later than that because it is the last game. It will be on either ESPN or ESPN2…Friday’s semifinal is the same situation: scheduled for 9:00 on ESPN/ESPN2, but will likely be a later start…The final would be 6:00 on ESPN…The Selection Sunday show will be at 6:00pm. The official show will be on TBS, although ESPN will be covering the picks shortly after as well…The women’s team beat Oklahoma State but lost to Texas in their Big 12 Championships. It appears the injury-riddled Moun- taineers will have to settle for the Women’s NIT.

The Yellow Jackets missed one last opportunity and Paw Paw s Toby Raignor collected the board. “[Garett] Haggerty had a real nice game and he had a real nice career. We are going to really miss him next year. He’s a great kid and a great kid to have around. He just did a great job, until he fouled out. Thomas [Williams] and Chase [Vance], you’re going to hear those two names a lot over the next two years. They have unbelievable range. We just had too many turn- overs tonight and gave them too many opportunities with offensive rebounds,” Coach Stutler concluded. Moorefield was led by Haggerty with 30 points, followed by Vance with 13 points and Williams with 12 points. “It means a lot to be a Yellow Jacket, this school is awesome and the town is awesome. I m going to miss it, I know I am,” Moorefield senior captain Garett Haggerty stated. We played hard and that s all I could ask for. We gave it our all, but they beat us. We couldn’t stop them on defense. Our defense was awful, but it is what it is.” Paw Paw was led by Landon Ridgeway with 28 points, followed by Braithwaite and Moreland with 16 points apiece.
