While W Virg is 4-5 and UMass in 7-2 the strength in scheduling explains that difference. WV has faced the #136 schedule but looking deeper they have faced the #57 vest sets of defenses so their poor shooting numbers can be explained. West Virginia gets two key pieces added to their starting 5 in transfers Battle (18 PPG started every game at Montana St LY) and Farrakahn (started 28 games at E Mich LY).

UMass has played the #355 schedule (there are only 362 teams) and they’ve played 6 of their first 7 games on their home court while losing by 10 as a 3.5 pt fav in their one game away from home. This game is being played in Springfield Mass which isn't UMass home court but they are the home team tonight.
Take West Virg here minus the short number.
