MANHATTAN, Kan. — Bob Huggins exited West Virginia’s locker room Wednesday simply shaking his head. Assistant coach Larry Harrison – his light blue shirt now untucked – raised his eyes skyward, as he pounded his fist against the coaches’ locker room door.
Erik Martin, another WVU assistant, came out of the locker room loosening his tie, as if he had just seen something unbelievable.
Maybe he had.
In what continues to be a baffling and disappointing season, the Mountaineers conjured up something new in a 71-69 loss against Kansas State, in front of 9,590 fans inside Bramlage Coliseum.
