MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Entering Saturday night’s cage match of bruising Big 12 forwards, Devin Williams said he plans to show Baylor’s Rico Gathers that “I’m here to work.”
Friday’s pre-practice workout conveyed that.
Williams was drenched as he met with reporters, the sweaty aftermath of individual drills he endured even before No. 14 West Virginia (18-4, 7-2) began its team practice. The conference co-leaders opened as 7.5-point favorites over No. 15 Baylor (17-4, 6-3) despite the Bears winning four straight meetings overall and all three at the WVU Coliseum.
