MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Every season since Bob Huggins was a senior guard at West Virginia, every single Division I basketball team has lost at least one game.
There are far worse ways of picking up that inevitable first loss than West Virginia’s 70-68 defeat against St. John’s on Saturday. The Mountaineers were exposed in areas that need fixing before the start of Big 12 play, yet still ended up one shot away from picking up a road win over a quality opponent.
“We kind of got caught in the hype of 7-0 or whatever,” said sophomore guard Sean McNeil.
