5 Things to Know Before WVU vs. Morehead State
West Virginia will host Morehead State on Monday night at the WVU Coliseum. Let’s take a look at five things to know before the game.
Morehead State Comes in as Ohio Valley Conference Favorites
The last time WVU faced off against Morehead State was in the first round of the 2021 NCAA Tournament. WVU head coach Bob Huggins recorded his No. 900th win in Indianapolis that night. MSU head coach Preston Spradlin is back for the Eagles with a different look.
Leading scorer Johni Broome transferred to Auburn over the offseason. West Virginia will see Broome with the Tigers later in the season. The Eagles also lost guards Ta’Lon Cooper (Minnesota) and Skyelar Potter (Jacksonville State). Sprandlin and his staff brought in Jalen Hawkins from Norfolk State and Jordan Lathon from Milwaukee.
Morehead State was voted as the preseason Ohio Valley Conference favorites.
Will West Virginia be Sluggish After the Pitt Win?
Friday night’s blowout win over Pitt was great for the program. Despite it being a Jeff Capel-led Pitt team, West Virginia came into the Petersen Events Center and dominated majority of the game, winning 81-56. The team played well despite it being the second game with a whole new look from last season. Can the Mountaineers take care of business at home on Tuesday night or will it be a struggle?
