KANSAS CITY — It won’t be a matter of physical talent, West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins said when it comes to his group of Mountaineers this season.
It won’t be speed or athletic ability keeping the Mountaineers from getting over the sizable hump that has become the Big 12 title.
For the past three seasons, the Mountaineers have advanced to the league’s tournament championship game, only to fall short every time.
On Wednesday, a WVU contingent including Huggins, as well as players Esa Ahmad, Sagaba Konate and “Beetle” Bolden will make their way to Kansas City’s Sprint Center — the site of those three setbacks.
