Bob Huggins is 16-18 in Big 12 Conference games. He is 6-12 at WVU, and his Kansas State team posted a 10-6 Big 12 record in 2006-07

West Virginia has made at least one 3-point field goal in 454 consecutive games

Eron Harris leads the Mountaineers in scoring at 9.9 per game. He could become the second Mountaineer freshman to lead WVU in scoring.

Juwan Staten leads the Big 12 in assist-to-turnover ratio (conference games only) at 2.90.


Texas Tech has gone eight consecutive games with fewer than 15 turnovers

Jaye Crockett's 6.8 rebounds per game is the highest single-season rebounding average by a Red Raider since Andy Ellis averaged 7.0 per game in 2002.

The Red Raiders have failed to hit 62 percent in seven of their last nine games and are shooting 59.1 percent from the line during that stretch

Josh Gray is the first freshman to lead the Red Raiders in assists since John Roberson in 2008 and just the fourth freshman ever.
