WVU Sports: The Highs and Lows of 2025

In 2025, West Virginia University's sports teams had quite the year. Let's dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly. First, let's talk about the wins. The WVU baseball team did something amazing. They won the Big 12 title outright for the first time ever. This is a big deal because it shows how far the program has come. Steve Sabins, the new coach, took over from Randy Mazey and hit the ground running. Fans are now expecting big things from the baseball team. The women's basketball team also had a standout moment. They beat Duke with only five players on the court. Yes, you read that right. Five players. Duke is usually a tough team to beat, but WVU pulled it off. Célia Rivière played smart, staying in the game with four fouls. It was a crazy game that no one will forget. Football had its moments too. Jordan Scruggs' pick-six against Houston was a game-changer. It helped WVU win on the road against a ranked team for the first time in seven years. The men's basketball team also had a big win against Pitt, destroying them by 22 points. It was a great night for the fans.But it wasn't all good news. The football team had a lot of injuries. Jahiem White got hurt early in the season, and it just kept getting worse. Five quarterbacks played because of injuries. It was a tough year for the team. The basketball team had a rough time too. They lost some games they shouldn't have, blowing leads in the second half. And then there was the big disappointment: not making the NCAA Tournament. WVU had a great season, but they were left out. Fans are still wondering how that happened. Coaching changes also caused some drama. Darian DeVries left for Indiana after just one year. Fans were not happy, especially with how he left. It was a messy situation that left the team with its fourth coach in four years. Despite the ups and downs, 2025 was a year to remember for WVU sports. There were incredible wins and tough losses, but that's sports. Fans will always remember the good times and hope for even better ones in the future.
