The No. 15 ranked West Virginia Mountaineers return home this weekend to face the Houston Cougars.
The first time these two programs met was last year when the Mountaineers swept the Cougars in a three-game series.
WVU is 3-0 all-time versus Houston.
The Mountaineers enter this series tied for second place with UCF, behind Kansas who is in first place in the Big 12 standings while Houston, who haven’t had any luck this season is dead last in 14th place.
It does appear that if the Cougars don’t turn things around they could potentially miss the Big 12 Tournament. The Cougars finished last season 11th overall.
