Tech and Mountaineers spread in heated college clash
West Virginia Tech fans claim the Golden Bears would beat West Virginia University by a wide margin if the teams met without identifying each other. The column cites a Hofstra tournament final win by Tech over Bucknell and notes WVU’s 13-point loss to Penn State, arguing Tech’s 66-point edge in a prior result implies potential superiority. It also includes high school state tournament pairings and venues for March games across multiple sections.
