Don't be afraid to get excited about the West Virginia Mountaineers' games this season. Head Coach Bob Huggins has developed a strategy to get the team back to a winning record this year. Many of last year's players have been replaced with a talented new cadre of recruits. Oscar Tshiebwe is an All-American from the Democratic Republic of Congo who will be joining the previous four starters as a forward. This year's team will be stronger on defense and will fight for any and all rebounds. Other players are transferring in from different colleges and universities. It will be Huggins' job to get all the players in sync with each other. The most difficult games will be against Rhode Island, St. John's and
Ohio State
. One highlight of the season to look forward to will be the Cancun Challenge in Mexico, where the Mountaineers could play either South Carolina or
Wichita State

''The cheapest West Virginia Mountaineers' basketball tickets are for home games during the regular season. The most expensive tickets are for important annual events, such as the Cleveland Classic in which the Mountaineers will be playing against Ohio State.'

West Virginia plays at the
WVU Coliseum
, which is located on campus in Morgantown, W.Va. For more than 44 years, fans have shown up in gold and blue to support the Mountaineers. The Coliseum was inaugurated with a Mountaineers victory over the Colgate Red Raiders. Since then, it has been the scene for many unforgettable nights of basketball.
''The West Virginia Mountaineers play in the Big 12 Conference. The men’s basketball team struggled last season, finishing 10th with a 4-14 conference record.'
'The West Virginia Mountaineers' head coach is Bob Huggins. He presided over a relatively disappointing season last year. He has been given another chance to turn the situation around for the WVU Mountaineers basketball program. Bob Huggins is himself a WVU alumnus. Despite last season's result, Huggins has had a positive career with WVU. The Mountaineers reached the postseason 11 times during his tenure, including being part of the NCAA Sweet Sixteen five times. Huggins is contracted to coach the Mountaineers until 2027. That will give him more than enough time to organically develop the program and to strive for continued excellence in all aspects of the game.'
'The West Virginia basketball team has not yet won a national title. Maybe this year will be a true chance for the team to make it past the NCAA Elite Eight and eventually win a championship for the first time in the program's history.'
'The West Virginia Mountaineers' record last season was 15-21. Although it was a losing record, fans are optimistic that this season's Mountaineers will outperform last year's team.'
'The WVU Coliseum can seat 14,000 fans. Due to the stadium's large capacity, it has also been used for NCAA matches and gymnastics regional events. The building that houses the stadium features an astounding 10.5 million cubic feet of space, which includes offices, labs and lecture rooms.'
