Less than a month after suffering a season-ending blowout loss to top-seeded Kansas on the second day of the Big 12 Tournament, Bob Huggins sat at his desk inside his office on the West Virginia University campus.
The 24-point defeat on March 10 was the second-most lopsided loss of the 2021-22 season for Huggins' Mountaineers, trailing only the 26-point drubbing the Jayhawks handed West Virginia on Jan. 15 in Lawrence, Kansas.
Huggins, who was thrown out of the tournament defeat after earning two technical fouls in the first half, was doing his best to put the game and the season behind him.
