'Pitt 92, West Virginia 87; March 3, 1970; The final game in historic Mountaineer Field House found West Virginia losing to Pitt, 92-87, but finishing a 42 year span with an overall record of 347-77 in the Beechurst Avenue barn.

Athletic Director Robert N. (Red) Brown presented plaques to Hyatt, Glenn, T. Edward Davis (who coached Salem College in the first Field House game in 1928), and Mickey Furfari who accepted Walter L. (Bill) Hart, columnist and former editor and sports editor of the Morgantown Dominion News.  A speech by Brown on Field House highlights was the feature of the special halftime ceremony.'
