BIG 12 BASKETBALL TIPOFF
West Virginia men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins traveled to Kansas City with WVU guard Taz Sherman for the Big 12 Conference Basketball Tipoff, commonly known as the Big 12 media days. Huggins discussed a variety of topics at the event, including the league’s upcoming expansion with Cincinnati, Houston, Brigham Young, and Central Florida set to join in 2023. Huggins reflected on the Mountaineers’ move to the Big 12 back in 2012 and how he and his teams had to adjust to the conference’s tight officiating, as compared to the Big East which allowed games to be much more physical.
