Monday night was a celebration of the Mountaineer careers of Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles Jr. While doing so the Mountaineers were able to get a win over No. 12 Texas Tech by a score of 84-74. We’re going to talk about the Mountaineer win first, but let’s play the Jevon-Carter Daxter Miles Jr. match game.

Jevon Carter – Daxter Miles Jr. Match Game

What an incredible run for these two Mountaineer guards. It should come as no surprise that it ended with another win over a ranked team, something these two have done so many times.

Carter and Miles led the way with 21 and 18 points, respectively. Carter added seven assists, three rebounds and three steals. Your typical Jevon Carter stat sheet stuffing performance. Daxter Miles Jr. added four assists and a steal. More importantly Miles was able to get hot from deep. It would be a great time for Dax to get hot from deep as he has had a very down season when it comes to three-point shooting.

If you missed the pre-game celebration of the two, it was something special.

It was an incredible evening. It was very appropriate that the fathers of JC and Dax sat together and took in the night together.

After the game, JC and Dax sang Country Roads one last time and walked past the student section one last time as Mountaineer backcourt mates.

It should come as no surprise that the post-game interviews got emotional.

Congratulations to JC and Dax on incredible Mountaineer careers. But there’s still a lot of unfinished business. It starts Saturday in Austin and continues into the Big 12 Tournament and NCAA Tournament.

Let’s hope JC and Dax go out with a bang and create West Virginia basketball history.
