MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Bob Huggins’ teams have always been known for rebounding, but what happened Monday night at WVU Coliseum took the word to an entirely different level.
Docked two spots in Monday’s AP Top 25 after its worst performance of the season, No. 14 West Virginia bounced back with a 97-49 molly-whomping of Texas.
“West Virginia did a wonderful job coming out with aggressiveness and fight and balance,” said Texas coach Shaka Smart. “That worked out in their favor.”
It was the widest margin of defeat for the Longhorns (12-6, 2-4) since a 39-point loss to rival Texas A&M in 1983.
