Heavy snowfall leads to gridlock, several accidents around city BY DOUGLAS SOULE ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
Morgantown and West Virginia University officials say an unexpected twist in the forecast on Tuesday caused road problems. In the Monongalia County area, 40 accidents occurred between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesday, according to James Smith, director of MECCA 9-1-1. For the entire day, there were 56 accidents and four hit-andruns, according to Smith. Between 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. there were 36 motorist assists, and MECCA 9-1-1 received more than 400 phone calls. Motorist assists is when cars stuck in snow have to be safely removed. “The decisions were made with the best information available at the time, ” said an email statement
from WVU about the decision not to cancel classes Tuesday evening. “If instructors need to cancel classes, they should make every effort to notify students in advance,” said WVU in the statement. “And if students cannot get to class because of weather conditions, they should contact their instructors as soon as possible.” Morgantown City Manager Paul Brake said for most of Tuesday the Public Works Department, which helps the Morgantown roadways system, operated with five trucks. “Based on the forecast at the time, which called for the snow to taper off in the early evening, Public Works dropped down to three trucks for the afternoon shift,” Brake said. A weather advisory was sent to the public on Tuesday to warn of road conditions. For example, the Monongalia
County Homeland Security Emergency Management Agency said in a Facebook post, “Authority Morgantown Police Department motorists are advised to stay off of the roadways. Conditions are treacherous and traffic in the city is gridlock.” Brake said drivers had to use “reasonable common sense.” “There’s going to be weather conditions that will change, and no matter what, the first responsibility falls on the driver to use reasonable prudence on whether or not they need to drive,” Brake said. Morgantown contains different roads maintained by the state and the city. “Unfortunately, the City doesn’t have ownership or maintenance of state routes that run through Morgantown,” said Morgantown City Councilor Ryan Wallace in a Facebook post. “Although this is counter-intuitive and frustrating,
the WV State Department of Highways is responsible for major roads like 705/Patteson, Beechurst/Don Knotts, and even Walnut Street (to name a few).” James Mirage, assistant director of WVU Roads and Grounds, which does snow removal on campus, said the department faced challenges getting trucks and equipment out. “Morgantown basically was gridlocked,” Mirage said. Mirage said the the forecasts showed the snow would stop earlier in the day. “By 2 p.m. or so we had a number of [workers] who had gone for the day,” Mirage said. “Then this next round hit.” Mirage said clearing the snow off sidewalks was a challenge since there were “thousands of people trying to walk on the same sidewalks.”

WV Forward wants to help state, students prosper BY JOE SEVERINO STAFF WRITER
Earlier this month at the 2018 West Virginia Press Association Legislative Lookahead, WVU and West Virginia legislators gathered to discuss the impact of West Virginia Forward and its future for the state. West Virginia Forward was spearheaded by WVU, the West Virginia Department of Commerce and Marshall University last August, with a desire to innovate and diversify West Virginia’s economy to make it more attractive for business and employees alike. The panel was comprised of WVU’s Vice President for Strategic Initiatives Rob Alsop, Senate President Mitch Carmichael, R-Jackson, and House Speaker Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha. The three discussed ways to keep college and technical graduates in-state. Alsop stressed that West Virginia’s commitment to creating a business-friendly environment would be essential to the state’s growth. “Everything we do, is this something that’s going to make our people want to stay here and be happy?” Alsop said. Armstead emphasized the need for tax cuts to promote economic growth. He said the business equipment inventory tax has proven to be impairing development, according to

Senate President Mitch Carmichael and WVU vice president of initiatives, Rob Alsop speak at the West Virginia Press Association’s Legislative Lookahead Friday, Jan. 5, in Charleston. two separate tax studies done decades apart. “We have spent the better part of 30 years talking about this, all the time recogniz-
ing it’s a job killer,” Armstead said. “It’s something that makes us non-competitive, it’s something that other states don’t have.”
According to taxfoundation. org, 10 states tax business inventory and four states have partial taxes on the inventory. “When we want to attract a
company to put our people to work, we have [to] start below the scale because of that particular tax,” Armstead said. WV Forward is promoting
the elimination of this tax because it could help keep more West Virginia college graduates in-state. Ridding companies of this tax may help create more STEM and manufacturing jobs, which the state is desperately trying to create. The dilemma, however, will be the absence of $270 million in tax revenue that is mostly allocated to education and communities. To combat this, Armstead proposed lowering equipment tax revenue by $20 million over the next seven years in hopes that the tax cut will bring businesses to West Virginia and expand already existing ones. Alsop compared WV Forward’s approach to the video-streaming industry. “Is WVU and the state in 10 years going to be Netflix or Blockbuster?” Alsop said. WV Forward is not solely focused on oil and gas manufacturing. WVU President Gordon Gee envisioned growing the state in areas of aerospace maintenance, cybersecurity and high-end tourism. The 2018 Legislative Session, which began last week and will go into March, will be a heavy indicator in how the current legislature plans to grow the state. And with the state turning a budget surplus for the first time since 2012, tax cuts are projected to be at the forefront.
Task Force fighting to monitor human trafficking BY PENELOPE DE LA CRUZ STAFF WRITER
The Human Trafficking Activity Monitoring Committee for the West Virginia Human Trafficking and Civil Rights Task Force is currently developing a statewide system for identification and monitoring human trafficking. According to WVU School of Medicine’s website, the committee is also generating the first ever estimates of all human trafficking subtypes in our state, which will optimize anti-trafficking initiatives and measure their impact. They are using the same methods for the system as the Institute of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (IDVSA) at The University of Texas in Austin, which esti-
mated a total of 313,000 human trafficking victims in the state of Texas. “We’re actively working on having numbers, but really we are, at best, only going to have estimates,” said Patrick Kerr, chair for the Human Trafficking Activity Monitoring Committee and associate professor at West Virginia University. “Our goal is to collect as much accurate data from as many good sources as we can,” Kerr said. “We’ve reached out to federal investigators, state police, intelligence fusion centers, rape crisis and domestic abuse centers to see what information they can offer us, and then from that [we can see] what we can use.” Outlets all over the country and world have taken steps in addressing and spreading
awareness of the issue of human trafficking. One of these outlets being WVU. “In letting me represent the University on this committee, WVU has taken a stand to address this issue, and I think that’s really important for not only the university, but it’s students,” Kerr said. Human trafficking is a worldwide issue, but there is no way to have a concrete number of those impacted. President Trump proclaimed January as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month last December. “Human trafficking takes many forms and is present in industries that might be right under our nose,” Kerr said. Kerr said that there are many misconceptions regarding human trafficking. “A lot of people think it’s
predominantly sex trafficking, which isn’t true,” he said. “Seventy-four to 75 percent of human trafficking survivors were involved mostly with labor trafficking.” Labor trafficking is seen in many different professional fields, and there isn’t one type of trafficking that belongs to one place. “There are some victims who are dropped off in groups to go door to door and sell things,” Kerr said, “and if they don’t fit their quota [of items sold] they could be physically or sexually abused, or made to sleep in the car while everyone else gets to stay in a hotel.” Kerr said that these trafficking situations come from innocent offers. “Workers are given this job opportunity and they’re told they can build a career and
“Seventy-four to 75 percent of human trafficking survivors were involved mostly with labor trafficking.” - Patrick Kerr, chair for Human Trafficking Activity Monitoring Committee get a manager position, make good money for themselves, and then before they know it they’re stuck in this horrible situation,” he said. According to the West Virginia Center for Children’s Justice Human Trafficking Task Force, a program focusing on raising awareness for child human trafficking, areas of concern for human trafficking include: •Sex work •Domestic work •Construction work •Hotel workers
•Agricultural work •Factories or Manufacturing •Restaurants or food services The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s tips include to not confront a suspected trafficker directly or alert a victim of your suspicions, instead call local law enforcement. If you or someone you know may be in a dangerous situation regarding human trafficking, please call the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-3737-888

Zynergy Cycling offers a boutique fitness experience for Morgantown residents and is located in Suncrest Towne Centre.
Zenergy Cycling offers new way for Mountaineers to find their zen BY JORDYN JOHNSON CULTURE EDITOR
Patience, dedication, hard work and love are the four words that are most associated with Zenergy Cycling. “Those are four words that rang true to what I needed at such a trying time,” said founder, CEO and West Virginia native Nick Staples. “With those four words, anything is truly possible.” With locations in Morgantown, Charleston and soon Pittsburgh, Zenergy is a boutique, community-based cycling experience. Zenergy offers a low impact, fun way to get a full-body workout.
The key, though, is riding to the beat of the music with the specialized playlists made for every class. Classes range from an intense, 60 minute “Zen Survivor” ride to “Zen 101” for beginners. Staples came up with the idea for Zenergy Cycling in July 2015 and then opened the Charleston studio. He wanted riders to be able to enjoy their workout and forget the world around them. “Originally when I moved back to Charleston from New York City, there wasn’t boutique fitness,” Staples said. “I started with a 15 bike studio.” Staples seeks to create a community inside of a com-
munity and finds it extremely rewarding to help build both of those communities up. How is Zenergy Cycling different from a normal workout, though? “There’s so many fitness places everywhere,” Staples said. “It takes something unique to make people want to come back.” Through the use of minimal lighting, energizing music and encouraging instructors, this workout motivates its riders until the end. Zenergy becomes bigger, brighter and better with each location opened. “We find new things that work,” Staples said. When the Morgantown location opened, a bigger and better sound sys-
tem was introduced as well as high-end locker rooms and showers. For those interested in trying a ride, Staples has two pieces of advice. “Go at your own pace,” Staples said. “It’s your journey; you’re the one creating it. Don’t give up after the first try. Your second and third rides will be your best.” Staples looks to spread the market he has created even more. He wants riders to know that “at the end of the day, you’re not just there to workout”.

Up All Night to hold Around the World Weekend BY JULIA HILLMAN CORRESPONDENT
Diversity is extremely important on West Virginia University’s campus. Students from various states, countries and cultures come together to form one Mountaineer family. WVU puts on many events throughout the year to celebrate its array of cultures. WVUp All Night will hold numerous activities this weekend, Jan. 19 and 20, to celebrate diversity. Up All Night is working with the Office of Global Affairs and Multicultural Programs to organize the event which will showcase cultures from all over the world “Around the World Weekend” kicks off Friday night with
an international fashion show and music showcase. Students will have the chance to enjoy the majesty and beauty of the costumes from three regions from around the world as well as musical performances from each. The weekend continues Saturday with a world music dance party featuring DJ Dollar. Throughout both events there will be global cuisine provided, as well as games, crafts and activities. “It’s a great opportunity to experience new cultures and connect with students from a different culture,” said Paige Weinblum, a student involved with the production of WVUp All Night. Students will have the the opportunity to try foods such

For some, winter brings happiness. The thought of snow and cold weather is exciting and fun for them. However, for quite a few people winter brings on a depressed mood and loss of interest in activities, which can be debilitating. According to the Mayo Clinic, most people with seasonal affective disorder, also known as seasonal depression, begin to experience their symptoms in the fall, and they continue throughout the winter. But seasonal affective disorder can even occur in the spring and summer months. Christine Simpson, staff psychologist at the Carruth Center at West Virginia University, characterized seasonal affective disorder as “a pattern of symptoms that occur typically with the onset of winter”. Simpson said that the disorder can mimic symptoms of depression, which include low mood, fatigue, trouble sleeping, eating more than usual or craving carbohydrates. Those affected can also experience sadness or irritability. “Typically, once the season of spring arrives, people will not have those symptoms anymore,” Simpson said. While preventing it might not be completely possible, there are steps to take to make oneself feel less down during the winter. “Part of it is awareness in terms of prevention,” Simpson said. Notice if depression tends to happen on seasonal basis. Ways to combat seasonal affective disorder can include more physical activity. “A lot of us become more sedentary in the winter,” Simpson said. “In the summer we’re spending a lot
of time outdoors.” She advises increasing time spent outdoors. Areas of the country like Morgantown, where winter hits and there is less sunlight in the day, can be more affected by seasonal affective disorder. “There are theories that sunlight can cause seasonal affective disorder,” Simpson said. Another treatment for seasonal affective disorder is eating a healthy diet. “Our diets do impact our mood,” Simpson said. “A diet heavy in carbs tends to make us more sluggish.” Regular meals with fruits, vegetables and the right amount of protein can help sufferers feel better. Age is a strong predictor of who will acquire the disorder. “Younger people are at a higher risk of having depressive episodes in the winter,” Simpson said. “Try to increase social interaction with other people; when it’s cold we limit our activity with others.” “Read, join a club or go bowling,” Simpson said. Simpson said the main thing suffers need to know is that they are not by themselves. “Talk to other people,” Simpson said. “Don’t deal with it alone.” One thing to know is that seasonal affective disorder is not associated with an increase in suicidal thoughts. “If it’s really severe, seek help immediately,” Simpson said. “Go to the emergency room at Ruby or go to the Carruth Center without an appointment.” If you or someone you know may be suffering from seasonal affective disorder, please visit or contact the Carruth Center at 304-2934431. Walk-ins are taken everyday. If you are having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

OPINION
Students brave winter weather conditions on campus BY REBECCA TORO CORRESPONDENT
What’s the worst part about winter? Is it the fact that you have to get up and walk to class, hoping you won’t slip on the ice? Or is it the fear of getting stuck on a hill trying to drive to work? Winter has arrived. Last week the weather went up to 65degreesandthenbackdownto 20 degrees with snow. This not only caused students to get colds, but it led to ice all over the roads and sidewalks. Property owners are required to clear ice and snow from sidewalks within 24 hours of a snowfall. However, personal driveways, parking spaces and sidewalks are at the discretion of the owner or renter, according to Morgantown City Code 913.11 and The International Property Maintenance Code 302.3. But that doesn’t explain why some roads are not plowed or pre-treated in the situation of a snow storm. “Roads are horrendous. Pay me, and I’ll plow the snow and drop the salt myself,” said Derrick Allmond, a senior sports management student from Oxon Hill, Md. According to The City of Morgantown’s website, “Salt is the main chemical to treat snow on the roads, although

Yet Friday night the City of Morgantown tweeted that they had four trucks pre-treating the roads and that they planned on switching to plowing depend-

ing on the severity of the storm. With future snow storms heading to Morgantown, students are stuck juggling their safety with their education. “Being a large campus, it’s hard to get to WVU when the weather and roads are bad unless there is a bus in your area,” said Amina Byers, a se-
nior chemistry student from Fairmont, W.Va. “It’s especially difficult considering that WVU has strict attendance policies as well. I feel like we get penalized unjustly under these circumstances.” WVU attendance policies vary depending on the class. However, if students miss more
than the days allowed they risk losing a letter grade, or even worse, failing the course. “Roads are so awful; I don’t want to risk dying on the way to class because of WVU’s attendance policy. It seems like no one treated the roads from this past storm,” said Michelle Brownlee, a junior public health student from Burtonsville, Md. Students abandon their cars and rely on other means of transportation, such as the PRT or buses. But when the weather gets bad, buses abandon the students. “I live in the University owned apartments where
we’re supposed to have transportation via a shuttle 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. They randomly cancel service without telling us in ample time to find ways home in the weather ,and all of the sidewalks and streets are not safe to walk home,” said Niki Stoner, a junior forensics and chemistry student from Pittsburgh, Pa. “They don’t come to plow or even salt the roads and we are left ice skating to class.” The only solution is to prepare for the cold, not rely on transportation, and just hope you make it to class on time and safely.
Cryptocurrency: passing fad or something more? BY JOHN ZALESKI CORRESPONDENT
In May 2010, the first transaction in Bitcoin’s history took place when 10,000 BTC was traded for two Papa Johns pizzas. It was an exchange between enthusiasts at the time, and the bitcoins traded were only worth about $25; but today they’d be worth 95.5 million. Most of this comes from the meteoric rise of cryptocurrencies through 2017, when bitcoin saw a rise from around $900 - $15,000. This rise made it attractive to investors looking for massive gains, but the scale of bitcoin today obscures its volatile history, and recent plummets suggest it may continue to have a volatile future. In the past 24 hours, the price of Bitcoin fell 12.28 percent, and dipped below $10,000 for the first time since December. These rapid changes are the norm with bitcoin and is the biggest obstacle to the widespread acceptance of cryptocurrencies more generally.
Liam Elliot, a sophomore political science student, thinks Bitcoin will crash. “Cryptocurrencies, and especially bitcoin, is a bubble that will eventually crash. Though, with regulation there is a possibility that the currencies could be used for stable online transactions,” Elliot said. This is the reason most people don’t exchange U.S. dollars with bitcoin for their everyday transactions and why bitcoin would struggle to replace established currencies. The goal of cryptocurrencies has always been that they be used as a medium of exchange, the way you would use a U.S. dollar or other national currency. However, with prices changing so wildly, it is nearly impossible to do this. If it were possible that the money in your wallet could skyrocket in value or become nearly worthless in the next month, every exchange you make with that money would be extremely risky. Businesses currently accepting bitcoins constantly struggle to adjust their prices and charge large premiums for
using bitcoin to cover the risk. This instability is the biggest barrier to people using bitcoin as currency, but the catch-22 is that to make bitcoin stable, lots of people would need to use it in the way they are unwilling to. Bitcoin’s price is almost purely a function of demand since the supply of bitcoin rises in an automated fashion. When demand for bitcoin increases, the price increases, and vice versa. If people are using a currency to constantly buy goods and services then their demand for money is steady, and prices are also steady. But because most people buy bitcoin with the intent of selling it later, there is not a constant and steady demand. Instead there are massive booms and busts. If bitcoin could transition to a common medium of exchange, it would operate a lot like the gold standard, but for technical reasons this is unlikely. Furthermore, the gold standard had its problems with volatility as well (though nothing compared to modern cryptocurrencies), which led to it falling out of favor in the
first place. However, the technology and the theory behind bitcoin has proved much more resilient than originally anticipated by most. While it is unlikely bitcoin will be the future of currency, it is almost certain the technology behind it will become more commonplace. Bitcoin also spawned an array of competing cryptocurrencies, like Ethereum and Ripple, with different characteristics. If a cryptocurrency is developed with protocols that solve the stability problem, it could be a serious competitor as a medium of exchange. Young people should think of cryptocurrencies more as a learning experience than a serious financial investment. Despite the increased interest, cryptocurrencies are essentially experimental and mostly used by enthusiasts. Having some engagement can give you knowledge and experience, which won’t be wiped away in the next sell off. But as with every investment, only put in what you are willing to lose.

Food
BY TIMOTHY MALLOY FOOD COLUMNIST
Fishing for seafood in Morgantown Before June 2013, finding fresh seafood in Morgantown was a near impossible task. Being no less than 300 miles from the ocean, Morgantown faces the same inherent problem that many inland states have faced for years; how can residents enjoy fresh seafood without traveling out of the state? Crab Shack Caribba, with locations in both Suncrest Town Centre and on Cheat Lake figured out a way to solve this problem and deliver fresh seafood close enough for all to enjoy. West Virginia University Alumni Bron Kayal graduated from the College of Business and Economics almost 10 years ago, and quickly found himself working in an accounting firm following graduation. After realizing he would much rather work in the restaurant and hospitality business, Bron opened a sports bar before coming up with the idea to bring fresh seafood to Morgantown in the most economically reasonable way possible: flying it in from all over the country. The fastest way to get from one place to another this day in age is obviously by airplane, and this was the first realization Bron had when faced with his challenge. Live Seafood is flown in to Pittsburgh three times a week and trucked to both West Virginian locations, giving Morgantown that desperately craved-for access to the seafood market.

This expansion made Crab Shack Caribba’s the most popular and successful seafood restaurant in Morgantown. Crab Shack Caribba offers a Caribbean twist on classic American seafood bakes
and boils ranging from classic butter and old bay to heavy on spice and heat. Trevor Wooten, a junior business and economics student, says to get the spice every time. Boasting about the Chef’s Steamer dinner with the spicy cajun option as the seasoning, Trevor is a huge fan of the dish and gets it ev-

big paycheck or a family visit, this is the place to go when it can be afforded. To miss out on this sanctuary of seafood for an entire collegiate career is a modern day tragedy that should not be taken lightly.

ways to exercise, get outdoors in the winter
As the new year rolls in and students attempt to get back in the swing of classes, it may be challenging to get outdoors and be active. Although the weather isn’t inviting and the sun isn’t energizing you to get outside, there are still many ways to have a good time and stay fit in the new year.
1. Plan a mini ski-cation with friends You live in the mountains, so what’s a more appropriate way to get outdoors than going skiing or snowboarding? There are a ton of resorts within a couple hours of Morgantown that offer options for weekend trips or season passes. You can even check out gear from the Outdoor Rec Center for extremely reduced prices. Aaron Brake, a junior industrial math and statistics student from North Canton, Oh., says his favorite winter activity is skiing. “Skiing in the winter is a great way to stay active and is a fun activity,” Brake said. “A good way to get active in the winter is to try cross country skiing. It is a great workout and it is a good way to interact with nature.” 2. Try something new at the rec center It’s intimidating trying new things, but you never know when you’ll find your new favorite workout. The rec center offers a variety of different group exercise classes from yoga, to spinning, to Zumba and everything in between. There are classes fit for a wide range of fitness levels and types of exercise, so you’re bound to find something that works. You can even sharpen your bouldering skills on the rock wall for when the warm weather comes back. 3. Get a workout group together Motivating yourself to get out of bed and go to the gym is a feat, especially in the dreary and frigid winter weather. With a group or gym buddy keeping you accountable, it can be a lot easier. You can grab a couple of friends and go spend some time outside, or set up a workout schedule. There are also groups like CHAARG, a women’s workout group, that you can join. Courtney Garloch, a senior history student from Wheeling, W.Va., is the President of WVU CHAARG.
“I do think working out in a group helps me stay active because a group helps keep me accountable to stick to my fitness routine,” Garloch said. “Through CHAARG, I am able to get two really great group workouts in a week with our Studio Spotlights and small groups. Our CHAARG workouts are a great way to keep me active because I’m with a group of friends who also love working out as much as I do which makes the workout so much fun.” 4. Have the campground all to yourself Winter camping may seem far fetched, but it is extremely rewarding. Participating in any outdoor activities in the colder months obviously takes a little more preparation (and gear) but once you’ve got that down you can have quite the adventure. Parks and campgrounds are way less crowded during their off season, which allows you to adventure in peace and really connect with the outdoors. The natural environment can also have a completely different look during the winter. Explore a park that seems brand new, bundle up, and set up camp. 5. Garden Winter gardening may not be as fruitful as gardening during the spring, but you can still supply yourself with some delicious winter vegetables. Vegetables like lettuce, radish, and onion thrive during the winter, and it is easy and cheap to get started on your personal winter garden. 6. Go for a run You don’t have to stop your fitness grind just because it’s snowing. Whether it’s biking, walking or running, you can continue participating in the activities you love, or get started with a new fitness routine. Just make sure you prepare with lots of layers and the right gear. 7. Just play in the snow Take a trip back to your childhood and play outside. Once the winter really picks up, our mountain home will be perfect for all your favorite winter activities. And don’t forget the hot chocolate.

Second half play proves detrimental for WVU in back-to-back losses BY PATRICK KOTNIK SPORTS EDITOR
After climbing up to the No. 2 ranking in the country, West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins made the program’s status clear to his team during a practice. Huggins pointed high to the crow’s nest located at the team’s practice facility. “That’s kind of where you are,” Huggins said to the team. “You’re one rung away from the top.” West Virginia was at its highest ranking since 1959, but then a loss to No. 8 Texas Tech on the road last Saturday dropped the Mountaineers to No. 6, and now the team may suffer another drop in the rankings after falling to No. 10 Kansas on Monday night. “It’s not so hard to climb up there,” Huggins said. “That fall is hard and I told them that’s about what we’re getting ready to do.” West Virginia’s back-toback losses to Texas Tech and Kansas have one of many things in common: second half collapses. The Mountaineers led by as much as 11 points against Texas Tech on Saturday, but allowed the Red Raiders to outscore them 41-33 in the second half as Texas Tech edged West Virginia 72-71, ending its 15-game win streak. Against Kansas, West Virginia led by 13 points at halftime and by as many as 15 early in the second half, but the Jayhawks held the Mountaineers to just 25 second half points and ended the game on a 28-11 run to take home a 71-66 victory. “We probably weren’t very comfortable being No. 2 in the country,” Huggins said. What exactly happened to West Virginia in those second halves? Some of the reasons for West Virginia’s collapses were due to miscommunication, Texas Tech and Kansas disrupting its offensive rhythm and the Mountaineers wasting possessions. West Virginia turned the ball over 29 times and committed more turnovers (11) in the second half against Kansas than made baskets (10). The Mountaineers also settled for a high number of three-point attempts, finishing 5-of-27 from behind the arc against the Jayhawks after shooting 39.3 percent from three-point range against Texas Tech. “Credit to (Kansas) for playing good defense, but at the same time, we just didn’t hit shots,” said West Virginia junior forward Esa Ahmad. “It didn’t help turning the ball over.” West Virginia saw numerous players step up and con-

But during both games, the team became more reliant on star senior guard Jevon Carter, who scored a com-
bined 42 points in the two games. Carter also attempted the most amount of shots in both games. Against Texas Tech, Carter shot the ball 22 times,
accounting for 37 percent of the team’s shot attempts. “(Carter) had the ball too much,” Huggins said. “He had the ball too much because no one else would get open.” Allen, who served as the team’s spark off the bench, has seen very limited action due to his attitude according to Huggins. Through the first three games of conference play, Allen scored 57 points on 24-of34 shooting, but in the past three games combined, the freshman has gone 0-of-5 from the field in 10 minutes on the court and didn’t see any minutes against Kansas. Sophomores Lamont West and James “Beetle” Bolden,
who have been contributors for West Virginia this season, were also missing in action against Kansas, finishing a combined 3-of-12 from the field against the Jayhawks. “We had shots,” Huggins said. “Beetle had shots. We depend on Beetle to make shots, he didn’t make any. Lamont had open shots.” Following the Kansas game Monday night, both West and Bolden were seen on the court working on their jump shots. But the Mountaineers received a boost from sophomore Sagaba Konate in the post and on the defensive end. Konate has 52 blocks on the season and is one away from
matching his total (53) from last season. Konate has been one of the few positives on defense lately from the Mountaineers. West Virginia’s aggressive defense known as “Press Virginia” was ineffective against in the past two games, forcing just two turnovers in the second half against Kansas and allowing open three-pointers from the corners. “Our pressure sucked,” Huggins said. “(Kansas) had two turnovers in the second half because we don’t press them, and that happened at Texas Tech. That’s been a pattern.” According to Huggins, one possible reason for the defense’s struggles could be the amount of minutes players play. “Maybe we’re playing guys too long,” Huggins said. “The guys I play too long really are my seniors and you should be able to count on those guys.” Whether or not West Virginia can recover from these past two collapses and play a full game from start to finish remains to be seen, but the Mountaineers will have more opportunities to redeem themselves and it continues with a matchup against Texas at home on Saturday.

Muldrow, Davenport excel as Carey’s dynamic duo BY JOSEPH SEVERINO SPORTS WRITER
Teana Muldrow and Naomi Davenport are putting up big numbers for the West Virginia women’s basketball team this season, helping them on a path toward a Big 12 Championship. Muldrow is a senior who’s been at WVU since 2013, but is playing her first season alongside Davenport, a junior-college transfer. In the short time they’ve played together, the duo has put up some impressive numbers. Muldrow is averaging a team-high 20.4 points per game. She also averages 9.4 rebounds per game, shoots 56 percent from the field and 84 percent from the free throw line. Her scoring average is ranked 25th nationally and third in the Big 12. She’s ranked second in the conference in rebounding. Davenport averages 16.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. She is also shooting 50 percent from the floor. She ranks seventh in scoring in the Big 12 and sixth in rebounding. Combined, the two make up nearly half the team’s scoring while grabbing 40 percent of rebounds. Both have also stayed consistent in Big 12 play. Muldrow averages 17.0 points and Davenport averages 19.5 points. As a team, however, the Mountaineers are not shooting as well against their conference foes. WVU lost three of its last five matchups by shooting its five worst games from the field all season. WVU shot less than 32 percent in three of those matchups (Texas, Kansas State and Iowa State). When Muldrow or Daven-

scored nine points against a struggling Iowa State team, where the Mountaineers won by only eight at home. Davenport could only muster three
points on 1-of-7 shooting in a 60-52 home loss to Kansas State. Fatigue might also taking a toll on the Mountaineers.
Playing a short bench night in and night out eventually begins to effect the starters; last week’s home loss to TCU may be an indicator of that. “(It was a) sloppy game,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey in the post-game interview. “We gave up a lot of offensive rebounds and turnovers.” Both offensive rebounds and turnovers are signs of losing focus, which is very uncharacteristic of these Mountaineers. WVU gave up a season-high 17 offensive rebounds to the Horned Frogs
and turned the ball over six more times than its season average. There won’t be any excuses from anyone on the team, especially Muldrow and Davenport. In the absence of Tynice Martin, the duo has more than picked up the slack offensively. What remains to be seen is if Muldrow and Davenport will continue to make shots as the season progresses. The Mountaineers close out January with a trip to Iowa State and two home contests with Texas Tech and Baylor.
WVU faces next challenge in Pitt BY AARON HOST SPORTS WRITER
Following a weekend win against TCU for both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams, WVU now turns its attention to Pitt. The Mountaineers are in the latter part of their season, and head coach Vic Riggs is pleased with how the team handled the travel and competition over the past weekend. “We’re in our championship phase of our training,” Riggs said. One swimmer who made an impact last weekend was sophomore Morgan Bullock, who was named WVU Student Athlete of the Week after her performance against TCU. Junior Merwane El Mer-
“We enjoy having them here and having the opportunity to compete against them and continue that rivalry,” -Vic Riggs, head coach ini and freshmen David Dixon and Angelo Russo finished with four total wins. Dixon and Bullock also picked up three victories each. With it being late in the season and not a lot of competition taking place, the swimmers become eager. Riggs expects the kids to be just as eager this weekend. “The middle part of the season is tough on the kids” Riggs said. Both teams are one of only a few sports left on campus that
still has the yearly rivalry with Pitt. Both schools used to be members of the Big East Conference before WVU joined the Big 12 and Pitt the ACC. The Backyard Brawl has a storied history in all sports on campus. “We enjoy having them here and having the opportunity to compete against them and continue that rivalry,” Riggs said. The original date for the Backyard Brawl on Jan. 6 was postponed to Thursday, Jan. 18. “It’s Pitt, so coming off how
we swam last weekend on the road, we’re going to need to do the same here at home,” Riggs said. With the intensity the Backyard Brawl brings, the Mountaineers will need to bring the same intensity into this meet as last weekend’s. The team is riding some momentum into this rivalry, which should play into WVU’s favor for this meet. With both teams in mid-season form, it will present a big challenge for Pitt. After Pitt, the Mountaineers face Villanova in Morgantown on Jan. 27. Then they await the Big 12 Championships in February. “We’re down to six weeks until we are boarding a plane (to the Big 12 championship meet),” Riggs said. “We’re definitely zeroing in.”
