Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.
The West Virginia men’s basketball team won its season opener over Mount St. Mary’s, 76-58. You can’t make predictions for the season based on one game, but here are some thoughts about WVU’s first win of the year.
Emmitt Matthews is back. Matthews showed that he can be a scorer and defensive leader for the Mountaineers, which is encouraging considering WVU has eight other newcomers. Emmitt was also active on the boards.
Mohamed Wague brought great energy off the bench.
