West Virginia Mountaineers Set to Challenge Houston Cougars at Fertitta Center

As the West Virginia Mountaineers prepare to face off against the Houston Cougars at the Fertitta Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent trend of high-scoring games. The Mountaineers have shown a consistent ability to put points on the board, as evidenced by their last three performances.

In a nail-biting encounter with Ohio State Buckeyes that went into overtime, the Mountaineers scored 75 points but narrowly missed victory. Despite this loss, they demonstrated resilience and an ability to score under pressure. Their offensive prowess was on full display in their next game against Toledo Rockets where they ramped up their scoring to secure a commanding 91 points win. This victory showcased not only their scoring capability but also an impressive assists-to-turnover ratio of 1.89, indicating smart ball handling and teamwork.

However, in a subsequent matchup with Radford Highlanders, West Virginia's offense seemed less potent as they managed only 65 points and suffered a close defeat. This game highlighted some areas for improvement; particularly in three-point shooting where they hit just 19 percent from beyond the arc.

The upcoming game presents another opportunity for West Virginia to capitalize on its strengths while addressing weaknesses from past performances. Fans can expect them to focus on maintaining strong two-point field goal percentages and improving three-point efficiency.

The venue could play a significant role as well; playing away at Fertitta Center might challenge West Virginia's adaptability and composure in front of Houston's home crowd.

Mountaineer supporters should mark their calendars for January 6th at 7:00 PM Eastern Time when these two teams clash. The game will be broadcasted online via ESPN+, allowing fans not just in Houston or Morgantown but everywhere else too, an opportunity to cheer for West Virginia as they aim for another high-scoring win on enemy territory.
