MORGANTOWN — “Win the day.” It’s a short phrase that has kept popping up in Mark Kellogg’s postgame discussions. The message is obvious. The intent is to keep his WVU women’s basketball players focused on what they can control. A terrific example of how well the 19th-ranked ...
MORGANTOWN — This offseason, Brodie Kresser could be seen taking reps at first base, which is odd because Kresser started 59 games last season, mostly at shortstop for West Virginia baseball. But that’s changed in his final season. Kresser had surgery on his throwing shoulder after WVU lost to LSU in the Super Regional, ending its season.

MORGANTOWN — We don’t know for sure whether or not Ross Hodge is a baseball guy or not, but the WVU men’s head basketball coach threw one heck of a curveball Sunday afternoon, one that seemed extremely odd, but may go a long way in describing his unique view of the game of hoops. His ...
