Ok, he's a drunk and we pretty much hate him (except for AK) but Huggins gives good interview, and he certainly knows coachspeak.

"Huggins opened up the show by saying that WVU didn't play very well vs. Kent State. “We had 21 turnovers, even though we stress passing the ball to the guys in the same colored jerseys,” he elaborated."

Huggins, on UAB: “They’ll play the 1-2-2 [defense], they’ll double team the ball, they’ll play 2-3, they’ll put a guy on Sean McNeil and Taz Sherman, it could be anything. [UAB] is going to play every defense imaginable. On offense, they like to play fast and they shoot a lot of threes. That’s a good team. A really good team.”


On the play of WVU: “We have no problem handing the ball to the player guarding us many times per game. We are very charitable with the ball. We really try to guard on defense, though, because our offense is a disaster. Honestly, the defense isn’t great either.”

I think the only thing standing between us and a win against WVU is going to be how the team responds to the crowd letdown I feel they'll have at Legacy Arena this Saturday. I guess they've had pretty good practice for that in Bartow.

If they lift up the curtains on the higher rows then yeah it'll look like a dead crowd. If it's set up like they do for Squadron games then i wouldn't be to worried about it
