MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — The West Virginia Mountaineers may have clinched a trip to the NCAA Tournament tonight in the WVU Coliseum, taking care of business against the TCU Horned Frogs, winning 73-55 to move to 17-11 overall and 8-9 in the Big 12 Conference. With the win, the Mountaineers are still likely considered to be on the NCAA Tournament Bubble; however, the Bubble is weak this season and barring a complete collapse in the final 3 regular season games, West Virginia will be dancing in March!
Tonight, the Mountaineers were led by a tremendous performance by senior guard Javon Small, who finished the game with 23 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds. Point guard Sencire Harris had 12 points and 5 rebounds, Amani Hansberry had 9 points and 5 rebounds, and Joseph Yesufu added 14 points and 4 rebounds off the bench.
