Huggins currently has the Mountaineers at 14-6 and ranked 13th in the nation. He has done a terrific job navigating his team through the COVID-19 hindered season, and has dealt with the departure of Oscar Tshiebwe brilliantly.
The team’s next challenge will be a trip to Austin, Texas to battle the Texas Longhorns, who knocked off WVU in Morgantown on January 9th, 72-70. Tip-off is set for 3 p.m. and the game will broadcast on ABC.
