As the social media storm surrounding the West Virginia Mountaineers and head coach Dana Holgorsen rages on, I began to listen to the fans. One of the most common complaints from fans was that while the football team struggles with Big 12 play, the other sports on campus have taken to the challenge and risen to greater heights. The one most pointed out is Bob Huggins and the men’s basketball team.
Nearly every Mountaineer fan thought the team would come from the old Big East, which was viewed as one of the toughest basketball conferences yearly and simply be a force from day one.
