Ahmad set to return for WVU's showdown against Texas Tech
Depending on Ahmad's conditioning and rustiness - possibly mitigated by his ability to continue practicing these past three months - he figures to deliver an immediate impact when WVU visits No. 8 Texas Tech in the nation's marquee game Saturday.
Texas Tech (14-2, 3-1), which sits a game behind West Virginia in the Big 12 standings, owns a leg up on the rest of the conference thanks to an 85-73 win at Kansas some 10 days ago.
Texas Tech hosted the program's first to-10 matchup in Lubbock. Last week the Mountaineers went 2-0 with home wins over #7 Oklahoma and Baylor. The 6-foot-8 senior from Plano, Texas, averaged double-digit points and a little more than 7 rebounds per game each of the past two seasons, but those numbers have decreased thus far in the 2017-18 campaign.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders are a tough team built for March. Texas Tech could be on the verge of a top-5 ranking in the latest AP Top 25 poll on Monday. The starting center is junior Norense Odiase, and even though he starts he only sees about 14 minutes per game, Odiase is productive; averaging four points and six rebounds. "Starting Senior Forward Zach Smith (6'8" 220-lbs) did not play against the Sooners due to an injury and is still day to day. The Mountaineers (15-2, 4-1) had a 15-game winning streak snapped.
Texas Tech has the best scoring defense (60.2) and defensive field goal percentage (37.5), both are the best in the Big XII and fifth in the country.

West Virginia will get another offensive weapon this weekend with Esa Ahmad eligible to play after serving his suspension. He averages 17 points per game and shoots 48% from downtown. He can also get hot from three-point range.

Check back after the game for analysis.
Five players are averaging at least 9.1 points per game for West Virginia, they are: Jevon Carter (16.1), Daxter Miles Jr.
