Twitter Reaction: Texas Win Finally Gives WVU Basketball Fans Something to Celebrate

The Mountaineers won a conference game, and did so against a ranked Texas team. While still very hesitant to buy into this one big win changing the course of the season, WVU basketball fans were able to celebrate the fact the usually-proud program won’t go winless in Big 12 play.

Here’s some of what WVU fans were saying after West Virginia’s 76-73 victory over the Longhorns on Saturday night.

Thank you, WVU basketball!!! Turned this night around!!

Has to feel great for players and all the staff. For at least one time, their hard work paid dividends. Plus sending TX with a loss always feels good! Horns down! Cue Country Roads!!
