Morning Mashup - 1/19

Your morning look back, around the headlines and into the future.

On This Date:

- The basketball team has an all-time record of 10-14. In 1999, Elton Scott hit the front end of a 1-and-1 with less than a second on the clock to give West Virginia a 55-54 victory over Georgetown. Marcus Goree led the way with 17 points and 11 rebounds.

- In 1979, former defensive back Rick Sherrod was born. After two years as a backup, the Charleston native took over the starting role and flourished. In 2000, he registered 104 tackles, 12 pass breakups and three interceptions, and as a senior, he led the nation with 15.6 tackles per game (156 total).

- In 2011, lineman Russell Haughton-James committed to West Virginia. After redshirting his first year, he was a backup this past season. As he heads into the spring, he will battle for one of the open positions on the line.
