Morgantown, WV (SportsNetwork. Authentic Blake Griffin Jersey .com) - The team with the best record in the Big 12 Conference takes aim at its eighth straight win on Saturday night, as the 14th-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers host the 17th-ranked Iowa State Cyclones at WVU Coliseum. West Virginia, which actually sits behind fellow Big 12 member, No. 12 Kansas in the latest AP Poll, has just a single blemish on its record, a 74-73 loss to LSU last month during the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. Earlier this week, the Mountaineers moved to 2-0 in conference play with a 78-67 triumph over Texas Tech on the road, the same score the program posted against TCU this time last week in the conference opener. The 14-1 start for West Virginia is the best since the team was a staggering 24-1 during the 1981-82 campaign, when it finished 27-4 overall. As for the Cyclones, theyve dropped only two decisions this season, falling to Maryland by nine points during the CBE Hall of Fame Classic in November, and then coming up short versus South Carolina at Barclays Center in Brooklyn last weekend, 64-60. Iowa State did rebound though, capturing a narrow 63-61 win over Oklahoma State in the Big 12 opener on Tuesday night at home. Iowa State, which is hoping to start the Big 12 portion of the schedule with consecutive wins for the second time in as many seasons, owns a 3-1 edge in an all-time series that just began in 2013. Last season, the teams split a pair of meetings, with the Mountaineers taking down 11th-ranked ISU at home by a score of 102-77, only to be turned away in an 83-66 final in Ames a little over two weeks later. In a game that featured seven ties and nine lead changes, the Cyclones were outscored in the second half by three points but made their advantage from the first half stand up versus Oklahoma State at home. Dustin Hogue tallied 17 points and eight rebounds for the hosts, followed by Matt Thomas and Georges Niang with 10 points apiece. Bryce Dejean-Jones, a transfer from UNLV, accounted for six points and a team-high nine rebounds, shot only 2-of-7 from the floor. Niang checks in as the top overall scorer for the Cyclones with 15.2 ppg, one of five players in double figures for a group that is one of the highest- scoring in the nation overall with 80.9 ppg. Dejean-Jones, the Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of the Year, is responsible for another 13.4 ppg and is first on the glass with 6.1 rpg, followed by Naz Long (12.8 ppg), Hogue (11.8 ppg) and Monte Morris (10.1 ppg), the latter also handing out 69 assists for a program that averages close to 19 dishes per contest. Shooting just 35.3 percent from the field in the first half, including 3-of-12 beyond the arc in the period versus Texas Tech, it was difficult to imagine WVU as a top-20 program with that performance. However, the Mountaineers turned it around in the second half with 62.1 percent accuracy from the floor, although they still had issues out on the perimeter (1-of-5) and at the free- throw line (9-of-17), en route to the double-digit victory. Juwan Staten led five players in double figures with his 16 points on only 6- of-15 shooting from the field and 3-of-8 at the charity stripe. Devin Williams produced 14 points, Daxter Miles and Gary Browne 12 apiece and Jevon Carter 11 points and four steals off the bench. Staten continues to be one of the leading sources of offense for West Virginia with his 16.1 ppg, accounting for a team-best 56 assists along the way as well. Williams (10.6 ppg) and Jonathan Holton (10.4 ppg) are also capable of putting up significant offensive numbers, often creating their own shots while pulling down almost three offensive rebounds per game each.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors and Steve Kerr have completed the coaching contract agreed to last week. The sides finalized the five-year deal worth up to $25 million Monday. The team said it will introduce Kerr at a news conference Tuesday at its downtown Oakland practice facility. "Were very pleased to introduce Steve Kerr as our new head coach," Warriors general manager Bob Myers said in a statement. "We are confident that he will be an extremely good fit for our team and our organization as we venture into the future. The fact that he played for several of the greatest coaches in the history of the game -- including Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich -- will serve him well, as will the many nuances that he learned from performing on the brightest stage during his incredibly successful, championship-filled career." Kerr, 48, had been in talks with the New York Knicks about becoming their coach after Jackson took over as team president in March. He won three titles for Jackson in Chicago and another two under Popovich in San Antonio during his 15-year playing career. Kerr also served as general manager of the Phoenix Suns from 2007-10 beefore going back to the TNT broadcast table. Wholesale Pistons Jerseys. He replaces Mark Jackson, who was fired by the Warriors on May 6 after three seasons and back-to-back playoff appearances in large part because of his sour relationship with team management. Jackson already has agreed to a multiyear deal to rejoin the lead NBA announcing team for ESPN/ABC. Jackson is working the Eastern Conference finals and NBA Finals with Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy. The Warriors job is certainly a far more attractive one than when owner Joe Lacob hired Jackson away from broadcast table in June 2011. The Warriors are coming off a 51-win season and consecutive playoff appearances for the first time in 20 years, and theyve surrounded star Stephen Curry with a talented young core. "Im really excited about the unique opportunity to coach a very talented team and work for this committed management group," Kerr said in a statement. "In my estimation, the Warriors, from top to bottom, have become one of the marquee organizations in the NBA in recent years. Im looking forward to becoming part of that environment and building upon the success of the last two seasons."
