NEW YORK — For better or for worse, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins will take the reins off Beetle Bolden and let the junior point guard go at his best tonight in Madison Square Garden.
The same can also be said for hurting teammate Sagaba Konate, as the Mountaineers prepare to face Florida (4-3) — their first opponent this season against a Power Five conference — in the Jimmy V Classic.
Riding a four-game win streak against teams from smaller leagues, Huggins was able to hand out some valuable playing time to help develop younger guards such as Brandon Knapper and Jordan McCabe.
