The flicker of hope from Saturday’s win over Oklahoma was extinguished in record setting proportion on Monday night in Lubbock, Texas.
WVU’s 81-50 loss to Texas Tech established a modern day record of futility. The last time the Mountaineers made nine field goals in a game was a 30-22 loss to Duquesne in 1942.
That’s not the only mark that was set. Freshman Derek Culver’s 24 free throw attempts are the most since Rod Thorn attempted 23 in 1963. And, in the unofficial record book, Logan Routt joins a short list of Mountaineers ejected from a game that never entered the contest.
