No. 9 West Virginia (36-13, 20-9) lost game two to Texas Christian University, 4-0, on Friday at Kendrick Family Ballpark. Despite more than seven strong innings from Maxx Yehl, West Virginia mustered just three total hits, all being singles. TCU's starting pitcher, Lance Davis, pitched an absolute masterclass, shutting down the hot Mountaineer bats. He finished with six strikeouts and just one walk through nine complete innings.
WVU is adding to its non-conference schedule for the 2026-27 season. The Mountaineers are finalizing an agreement to play North Carolina in the second annual Dick Vitale Invitational, per Rocco Miller. The game is at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC, on Friday, November 27, or Black Friday. This addition gives WVU a quality opponent on the schedule, but it also has underlying drama, especially for WVU fans.
