Bob Huggins will get his firt shot at 700 wins tonight in Las Vegas when the West Virginia Mountaineers (8-2) take on Missouri State (7-3). 700 wins is obviously a milestone that most coaches in this business will never even come close to, but Huggins refuses to make a big deal about it. “You do this for 30 years you better win some games, or else you’re probably selling insurance,” said Huggins. He can joke about it all he wants, but 700 wins puts him in some...

Last week we posted some photos of the WVU Basketball Practice Facility. Today we have something even better. We stumbled across this video on youtube. It takes you inside and gives you a quick tour of the facility. It’s still a work in progress at this point, but it’s really looking impressive. This new building should be a huge boost to recruiting, and to the improvement of current WVU men’s and women’s basketball players. Let’s Go Mountaineers!

Both games were huge early-season games for a young Mountaineer team. So far this season, Bryant is WVU’s second leading scorer, averaging...
You know how Bob Huggins always says that you don’t have to lose a game for it to be a learning experience? Well, this is what he was talking about. The Mountaineers overcame a lot of adversity during their time in Wichita. Delayed flights, late arrivals, foul trouble, youth, poor free throw shooting, hostile crowd, etc. You name it, and they overcame it. In the end, this young team comes out of this game a little wiser and a whole lot tougher, but more importantly they come out...
Here are some random photos of the basketball practice facility that is still under construction. It should be finished in the near future, and it is looking pretty impressive.

Check out some of the photos of the court, the locker rooms, hallways, and art work on the walls. For those of you that have been asking about the Lion King images on...
