Should West Virginia Stay "Press" Virginia?

The first round loss by the Mountaineers brings into question whether or not the full court press known as "Press" Virginia has staying power in Morgantown.

Head Coach Bob Huggins has won 719 games in Division 1 play. He has coached at Akron, Cincinnati, Kansas State and West Virginia. He has taken two different teams to the Final Four (the Bearcats in 1992 and the Mountaineers in 2010) but has never won a National Championship. That goal eluded him once again this year with the first round loss to Stephen F. Austin. SFA avoided the turnovers that are a hallmark of the Mountaineers' "Press" Virginia defense which kept the Mountaineers off-balance.
