Huggins said “We’re not afraid to play anybody.”
The schedule shows it.
Huggins arranged to make #1 Gonzaga a last-minute opponent and lost only 82-87.
WVU lost to #5 Texas 72-70 in heart-breaker.
WVU beat #10 Texas Tech 88-87.
WVU lost to #15 Kansas 65-79.
WVU lost to #24 Oklahoma 71-75.
That’s 2-3 against Top 25 teams!
And the loss to Gonzaga was by 5 points with WVU leading late in the game and to Oklahoma by 4 points.
“We’re not afraid to play anybody!” should be banner hanging from the WVU Coliseum roof!
WVU earned its #11 status.
And it isn’t over yet.
Huggins Heroes may be ready for a March Madness run in Indianapolis (all 68 teams will be playing every game in that city).
