All good things must come to an end, unfortunately, and that applied to the West Virginia Mountaineers’ 15-game win streak. The No. 2 ranked Mountaineers fell to the No. 8 Texas Tech Red Raiders in Lubbock, 72-71.
Daxter Miles hit a three to score the game’s first points at the 18:20 mark. Texas Tech would answer back, and the two teams began to trade blows. Esa Ahmad and Jevon Carter hit back-to-back threes to help put West Virginia up 13-6 at the under 16:00 media timeout, but the bigger storyline, perhaps, was that the Mountaineers had already been whistled for four fouls in the first four minutes.
