Mountaineers Claim Las Vegas Invite Title

Earlier this year, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins was asked when he thought his team was finally going to get some love from the writers in the top 25 college basketball poll.

Well, it should be coming after tonight’s impressive 72-50 victory over San Diego State in the championship game of the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

The Mountaineers, ranked 22nd this week in the coaches’ poll but unranked by the media, harassed that athletic Aztecs all night, forcing 21 San Diego State turnovers and limiting them to just 13 made field goals, including a goose egg from 3 in nine attempts.
