Bob Huggins is glad he has a good bench for when his starters get in foul trouble or are having a tough game.
“That’s the good thing about this team, you know?” Huggins said. “Devin [Williams] gets in foul trouble and Elijah [Macon] answers the bell. [Jevon Carter] gets in foul trouble, Tarik [Phillip] plays well. Jaysean [Paige] hadn’t been playing very well, and he played pretty well.”
Phillip scored West Virginia’s final eight points and the sixth-ranked Mountaineers (16-3, 5-2) ended the game on a 10-2 run to rally for an 80-76 Big 12 Conference victory Saturday at Texas Tech, snapping a two-game losing streak.
