MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Bob Huggins is expecting a very difficult basketball game in Charleston on Monday night when 23rd-ranked West Virginia plays host to James Madison at the Charleston Civic Center.
The Dukes, coming off a 19-win season and a share of the Colonial regular season championship in 2015, have all five starters returning for this season.
James Madison’s impressive experience, talent and depth were all on display last Friday night at Richmond when the Dukes handled the Spiders, 87-75, on Richmond’s home floor.
The Dukes shot a sizzling 50.8 percent, including 45.8 percent from 3 (11 of 24 shooting), hammered the Spiders on the glass, 40-23, and handed out 16 assists in a tremendous all-around performance.
