MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — While a sold-out WVU Coliseum awaits Kentucky’s first visit in 47 seasons, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins is more concerned by recent history.
His No. 7 Mountaineers (16-4) have lost three of four while wading into the deep end of the Big 12 pool. Let down by several facets, the offensive execution has featured the steepest drop-off. Droughts of stagnant ball movement have left Wooden candidate Jevon Carter dribbling on the perimeter desperate to create looks.
Carter’s 73 shots over the four-game span were by far the busiest stretch of his career.
