Gold & Blue Lunch: Feeling better about WVU despite loss

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Welcome to the 600 Club, Mike Carey.

The West Virginia women’s coach reached the benchmark by way of Saturday’s 72-35 rout of Kansas, a game more lopsided than even the lopsided final suggested. Seeking to rectify a one-year hiatus from the NCAA tournament, the Mountaineers (15-4, 4-2) stand No. 47 in the RPI with multiple opportunities to prove their worthiness. Try 11 of their final 12 games against top-100 opponents.

While Carey was locking down No. 600, Bob Huggins remained stuck on 780 wins over the weekend, though there was nothing shameful about loss No.
