Big Monday blog: Mountaineers look to steal a road win

LUBBOCK, Texas — Good day from Big Monday, where West Virginia makes its first official appearance of the season on ESPN’s hoops brainchild.

Unlike so many other Big 12 games this season, it is the Mountaineers (10-12, 2-7) who have the momentum heading into the matchup following their 79-71 victory against Oklahoma. No. 16 Texas Tech (17-5, 5-4) is coming off a 79-63 loss at Kansas, and the Red Raiders have lost four of six.

Playing at United Supermarkets Arena, the Red Raiders are a different team. They’re 12-1 and hold opponents to just 53 points per game in Lubbock.
