3 West Virginia Basketball Records That May Never Be Broken
By Joshua Petry
As fall begins to set in and the chaos of football season currently reigns, it's easy to forget that basketball season is just around the corner. WVU basketball is a storied program with a rich history that evokes a lot of pride in Mountaineer fans across the state and beyond. Recently, we presented a look a look at 3 WVU football records that may never be broken -- now let's look at 3 WVU basketball records that may never be broken.
More than any other, the name Jerry West signifies basketball in Morgantown, and he owns a boatload of them, so his presence could easily dominate this list. But we'll have some fun and show love to others who have come after him for at least a couple of these.
Also, remember that some of the records mentioned may never be broken due to many factors, and it's not just a lack of ability or athleticism. It's tough in this era to keep an athlete at the same school for consecutive years, not to mention all four.
As I have mentioned many times, Morgantown is not a sexy location for four-star and five-star athletes; it's also tough to keep homegrown talent that can compete with the best in the nation. The likes of NIL (until we find a way to cap it) also play a huge role in the future of these records shivering in their sneakers.
