West Virginia’s abandonment of Sherman and McNeil puzzling

COMMENTARY

West Virginia is not just a poor three-point shooting team. It is a terrible three-point shooting team.

This is not news, as the Mountaineers sit 335th nationally with a 28.9 three-point percentage. So it is understandable that Bob Huggins would not design his offense around the concept of making threes. To do so would be folly.

Yet even with that being common knowledge, Huggins’ refusal to have West Virginia let it launch in the face of a three-score deficit late in the second half of Monday night’s 67-57 loss at Texas remains puzzling.
