XU defeated Huggins and the Mountaineers in overtime, 79-75, in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in Phoenix in March 2008. Sean Miller, who recently returned for his second stint as the Muskies' head coach, was XU's head coach at the time.
Entering his 16th season as WVU's head coach, Huggins is among Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2022 inductees announced in April.
