WVU Basketball: three takeaways from the loss to Texas Tech

No teamwork = no hope

Saturday was another one-person show (well, this time two) where the rest of the Mountaineers watched in awe.

The stars were sophomore Jalen Bridges and senior Sean McNeil, who had a combined 31 points in this game, equivalent to 61% of the final score. Bridges and McNeil were the only two players in the entire game to make a three-pointer. If you take Bridges and McNeil out-of-the-game, the next highest scorer didn’t even break double-digits.

Yes, WVU was down their leading point-scorer, Taz Sherman, but the Mountaineers shouldn’t have to rely on one (or in this case, two) player to earn a majority of the points for the rest of the team.

The Mountaineers need to work together to secure points to begin adding to their win column. Otherwise, the end of this losing streak could be nowhere in sight.
