UConn men’s basketball opponent preview: West Virginia

One of the more marquee out of conference matchups for UConn men’s basketball this season is the return of an old Big East rival. As part of the Big East-Big 12 Battle, the Huskies will travel to Morgantown, West Virginia on Dec. 8 to take on the Mountaineers.

It’s a rivalry that’s gone back since 1995, with the Huskies holding a 15-4 advantage overall but West Virginia owning the most recent victory, a 78-58 win in the 2014 Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

Bob Huggins is one of the more illustrious and, shall we say, unique coaches in college basketball.
