The Shotgun Throwdown: Big matchup set for West Virginia basketball

Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions. Let’s get into it.



West Virginia to face Ohio State in Cleveland

The West Virginia men’s basketball team will be facing Ohio State next season in a neutral site game in Cleveland. The Mountaineers and the Buckeyes last faced off in 2019 at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, the home of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers. WVU won that matchup, 67-59, but OSU narrowly leads the all-time series, 9-8.

Ohio State went 16-19 this past year and only won five Big Ten Conference games in the regular season.
