COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Bob Huggins had a big problem.
Star freshmen Oscar Tshiebwe and Deuce McBride both picked up their third fouls early in the second half of Saturday’s game against Baylor, and without either on the floor the No. 4 Bears certainly had the talent to not only take the lead over the Mountaineers, but run away with the game entirely.
Huggins briefly turned to Brandon Knapper as a solution, but a bad turnover ended that experiment early.
It became time for West Virginia’s fourth option at point guard — Jermaine Haley, who has spent the majority of his senior season playing small or power forward.
