A highly anticipated non‑conference basketball matchup is set for November 13, when the West Virginia Mountaineers welcome the Northwestern Wildcats to the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The game forms part of the Greenbrier Tip-Off, a multi‑team event that also includes Northwestern’s contest with Appalachian State on November 14.
Tickets for the Mountaineers’ game will be released in two waves. Members of the Mountaineer Athletic Club and season ticket holders will receive a pre‑sale link on September 29, granting them first dibs on seats. The general public can purchase tickets starting September 30.
Beyond the game, the resort is offering travel packages that bundle tickets with accommodation and exclusive access to the resort’s amenities. These packages aim to turn the weekend into a full‑service experience for fans traveling from across the country.
Venue and Broadcast Details
The contest will take place in The Greenbrier’s historic Colonial Hall. While the official tipoff time and television designation have yet to be announced, the venue’s intimate setting is expected to amplify the on‑court atmosphere.
This marks the second meeting between the two programs at the Greenbrier, the first having occurred last November when West Virginia upset the No. 15 Blue Devils 57‑49 in front of a capacity crowd. The Mountaineers are riding a season that included a victory over Duke and a run to the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 32, a campaign many describe as the most successful in program history.
Head coach Mark Kellogg expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming matchup, noting that facing a quality opponent like Northwestern provides a valuable early‑season test. He highlighted the team’s preparation and the excitement of playing in such a storied venue.
Historically, the Wildcats and Mountaineers have met only a handful of times. Their last encounter dates back to the 2019 Postseason WNIT, where Northwestern edged West Virginia 56‑54. Prior to that, the teams last faced off in 2005, a game West Virginia won 89‑55, a result that remains the program’s only victory in the series.
