MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Two weeks after West Virginia coach Bob Huggins saw his team climb to No. 2 in the AP poll, he hasn’t liked the aftermath.
The Mountaineers (15-3, 4-2) have lost their edge, not to mention two late-game leads, and must regain intensity if they hope to contend for the Big 12 title.
“We probably weren’t comfortable being No. 2 in the country,” Huggins said after losses to Kansas and Texas Tech. “Our preparation wasn’t what it needed to be.”
Saturday’s home showdown against Texas (12-6, 3-3) affords a chance to stop the slide.
