14 Mountaineers finished a regular-season sweep of seventh-ranked Texas Tech with an 82-71 victory over the Red Raiders on Tuesday night. West Virginia (14-5, 7-3 Big 12) won its third consecutive game and ended a four-game skid in Lubbock 15 days after a thrilling 88-87 win at home over Texas Tech when Miles McBride hit the go-ahead jumper in the final seconds. The first foul came before the ball was thrown in on a West Virginia inbound play with 2 seconds on the shot clock. “I thought it was a classic example of the team that made the more mistakes lost the game,” Texas Tech coach Chris Beard said. Texas Tech: Beard let his frustration boil over in the final minute, yelling at the referees during a timeout before sitting on the floor and making a timeout signal.
