The Mountaineers last played in the Garden, and as part of the annual Jimmy V Classic, in December 2015. West Virginia played Virginia, which turned out to be a three-game series between the border rivals.
The WVU basketball team beat Virginia the past two years but was outclassed by the Cavaliers in the game played in Madison Square Garden. The Mountaineers have to hope that this next invitation to the Jimmy V Classic will pay off more than the last time.
This week it was announced through various media outlets, including the Charleston Gazette-Mail, that Indiana will take on the WVU basketball team next season.
