Between The Eers: How Many Wins Will West Virginia Hoops Get This Season?
On Sunday, West Virginia did exactly what it was supposed to do against an inferior opponent, with all due respect to Wheeling, cruising to an 80-54 victory in an exhibition. Now, it’s time to turn the page and focus on the season-opener, which is slated to tip off exactly one week from today against Mount St. Mary’s.
On today’s episode of Between The Eers I discuss…
Harlan Obioha was really impressive, even if he had a clear advantage in the paint. He moves extremely well for a guy that’s 7-foot and 260+ pounds, and seeing him even stretch out to defend on the perimeter was a surprising sight. Treysen Eaglestaff and Honor Huff had a rough night shooting the basketball, but it’s nothing to be concerned about. Those two have made shots their entire lives, and one off night is not an indication of how they’ll shoot it the rest of the season.
Anytime you flip an entire roster, all possibilities are on the table. I’m going with a rather conservative prediction because there are just too many unknowns, although I really do like the makeup of the roster. They have more scoring options than we saw last year, and with Ross Hodge having a defensive background, they should be able to play well enough on that end of the floor to be a team fighting for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

PHILIPPI, W.Va (WDTV) – The West Virginia Mountain Bike Association kicked off its cross country series Sunday with the Race to Lil Moe’s in Philippi.
The event had options for all skill levels. Bikers had the choice to race 6 miles, 14 miles, or 19 miles.
Each race had a mix of straight track biking, and twisting and climbing through the woods. Bikers of all ages could participate, and each age group had its own race and results.
“I really do think that trails build community, and if you can get outdoor activity where people can come out and hike and bike,” said George Finly, a mountain biker and trail volunteer. “This is as much as a hiking trail as it is a biking trail. It’s right along the river, which is beautiful. Eagles were flying back and forth yesterday, and today is great because we’ve got a lot of kids out here.”
The next WVMBA cross country mountain bike race will be April 19 in Buckhannon.
