Pressure Cooker: Can the Texas Tech Handle West Virginia’s Pressure?

They say pressure busts pipes. Well if that is the case, then the West Virginia Mountaineers must bust a lot of them because they apply pressure for 40 minutes.

Bob Huggins loves the in your face, grimy defensive style of play. That was his trademark in the 90s while at Cincinnati. Players such as Kenyon Martin, Nick Van Exel, Danny Fortson and Corey Blount were blue collar players committed to pressure and being physical.

Fast forward to 2016 and Huggins has his current West Virginia Mountaineers squad doing the same thing. Texas Tech basketball team faces a tough task this Saturday as they welcome the 6th ranked Mountaineers in Lubbock.
