HUGGINS KEEPS CLIMBING
There was excitement in the air in the WVU Coliseum last Friday night, as the West Virginia men’s basketball team defeated Pitt, 74-59, in the Backyard Brawl. The game was sold out and a great showing by the WVU students helped push the game’s attendance count over the Coliseum’s capacity.
Not only were the fans excited to see their Mountaineers dominate their biggest basketball rival, but they also enjoyed seeing their legendary head coach, Bob Huggins, earn his 902nd career win which moved him into fifth place on the NCAA’s all-time Division I win list.
