Even with its psyche boosted by a string of three blowout wins at home, No. 23 West Virginia heads to the AdvoCare Invitational trying to make amends.
“I wanted to go down there 4-0, like all the players did,” said coach Bob Huggins.
Instead the Mountaineers (3-1) remain defined by their season-opening 23-point loss to No. 16 Texas A&M in Germany. That perception could change should the wins keep piling up this week in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., where West Virginia is the favorite among the eight-team field.
“We’ve got a chance to go win a championship and that makes it kind of fun,” Huggins said.
