Bob Huggins has been waiting for Devin Williams to play like a man the way he did in last year’s NCAA tournament victories over Buffalo and Maryland.
Tonight he not only played like a man, he was the man.
Williams scored 17 points and pulled down a career-high 18 rebounds to lead 14th-ranked West Virginia to an 81-76 victory over 13th-ranked Iowa State Tuesday night at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.
“It was a great team win,” said Huggins, now three victories shy of tying Lefty Driesell for ninth place in NCAA history with 786.
