MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Without preseason games or a closed scrimmage against an outside opponent, the Mountaineers have spent the entire preseason going up against the same guys on a daily basis. Bob Huggins says Derek Culver has clearly had an edge on the rest of his teammates so far.
“The person who dominates in practice is Derek,” Huggins said. “Derek’s team generally wins all the time. Derek gets the majority of the rebounds and they look to throw it inside to Derek quite a bit, particularly when it is a close situation in practice.”
Culver and Oscar Tshiebwe combine to form the Big 12’s most formidable frontcourt duo but Huggins is challenging Culver to expand his game and his range further from the hoop.
