The West Virginia Mountaineers fall to 5-3 on the season with a 66-56 loss to the Florida Gators (5-3) in Madison Square Garden as part of ESPN’s annual Jimmy V Classic.
If you came into this game hoping to see some signs of improvement as West Virginia nears closer to their Big 12 conference schedule, you’re probably not feeling any better than you were following that loss to Western Kentucky in Myrtle Beach. Instead of seeing the offensive powerhouse the Mountaineers had disguised themselves as over their previous four games, we got an offensively inept team that just couldn’t get anything going.
