Mountaineers' Historic Season Ends in Heartbreak

0:00On March 24th, West Virginia Mountaineers saw their season end in the NCAA tournaments round of 32 after a tough one-point defeat to Kentucky on Monday night. The team dug out of double digit holes twice during the game, pushing hard to stay in contention until the very last moments. Coach Mark Kellogg spoke highly of his player's fight, the roaring support from Mountaineer fans that filled the arena and Kentucky's sharp execution. Under their coach, Kellogg made history in his first three seasons by becoming the program's first coach to notch 25 or more wins each year, including a big, 12 tournament championship, and the first home NCAA game since 1992. Those five departing seniors helped lay a strong foundation for the future, fueling Kellogg's pride even amid the disappointment of such a close call.
