WVU Seeking Rebound With Visit to Baylor

MORGANTOWN — West Virginia University men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins has been doing what he’s doing for a long time. What happened in Saturday night’s 77-69 loss at No 13 Kansas, however, was a first for the future Hall of Famer. “We can’t win when they shoot 35 free throws and we shoot two,” Huggins said during his postgame radio show. “You can’t win. I’ve been in this game a long, long time and that can’t happen. “You have no chance to win.” The disparity made national headlines even Monday with ESPN’s ‘Golic and Wingo’ show touched on the ...

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Bob Huggins didn’t mince words in his postgame press conference after West Virginia lost to Kansas. “They shot 29 free throws,” Huggins said. “We shot two. You don’t think that had anything to do with it?” Huggins’ rising frustration finally boiled over ...

WVU, Kansas Fighting

MORGANTOWN — When the 2017-18 season opened the consensus among Big 12 coaches that No. 13 Kansas (20-6 overall, 9-4) was the overwhelming favorite to win its 14th consecutive conference crown. It was also the belief that No. 20 West Virginia (19-7 8-5) would be the best bet if someone other than the Jayhawks walked away with the conference’s regular-season championship. That was then.

Bench Big In Victory By ’Eers

MORGANTOWN — Playing its 26th game of the season one would think that a head coach would be comfortable with his starting lineup and rotation. That was not the case Monday night at the Coliseum as veteran head coach Bob Huggins reinserted senior Daxter Miles Jr. into the starting lineup in place of sophomore James ‘Beetle’ Bolden as the No. 20 Mountaineers (18-7 overall, 7-5 Big 12) looked to avoid a season sweep by the visiting Horned Frogs from Texas Christian (17-8, 5-7 Big 12). However, before five minutes had passed, all but senior Jevon Carter had been replaced as the ...
