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).

A big plus might be that we've weathered a coronavirus onslaught - nearly everyone on team has already had it. So that's not something we have to worry about moving toward the tourneys.

We lost to Texas. Forget your meds or what?

Huggins arranged nothing with Gonzaga. That was the man in the office that calls and sets it up.

WVU plays in Big 12 conference. Playing ranked teams is a given. It has nothing to do with not afraid to play but more to do with you have no choice.
