Mountaineers Set to Scale the Horned Frogs at Schollmaier Arena

As the West Virginia Mountaineers prepare to face off against the TCU Horned Frogs, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a riveting clash at Schollmaier Arena. The Mountaineers, coming off a resounding victory over the Toledo Rockets with a score of 91-81 on December 23rd, have shown that their offensive prowess is not to be underestimated.

In that game, WVU demonstrated remarkable efficiency from inside the arc, shooting an impressive 62 percent on two-point attempts. Their free-throw accuracy was equally notable at 79 percent. This level of precision will be crucial as they go up against TCU's defense. The Mountaineers also showcased their ability to distribute the ball effectively with 17 assists and maintained a positive assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.89.

However, it wasn't just offense where WVU excelled; they also held their ground defensively with four blocks and five steals. These stats reflect a well-rounded team performance that could spell trouble for TCU if they're not prepared.

On December 21st against Radford Highlanders, despite suffering a narrow defeat by one point (65-66), WVU showed resilience and adaptability in adjusting their strategy throughout the game which featured an intense battle with 15 lead changes. They managed to keep turnovers low at seven while still securing points in paint (34) and maintaining solid free throw numbers (65 percent).

Against UMass Minutemen on December 16th in Springfield, despite being outscored by eight points (79-87), WVU displayed long-range capabilities by hitting an impressive 45 percent from beyond the arc – this could serve as another weapon in their arsenal when facing TCU.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for West Virginia Mountaineers to capitalize on these strengths while addressing any weaknesses exposed in previous matchups. Fans can expect WVU's players to come out swinging as they aim for dominance both inside and outside the paint while maintaining defensive pressure throughout.

Looking ahead, fans should mark their calendars for February 13th when West Virginia takes on TCU at Schollmaier Arena starting at 8:00 PM EST. The game will be available for streaming via ESPN+, ensuring supporters won't miss any action from this highly anticipated encounter.
