West Virginia coach Bob Huggins will have eight newcomers to potentially juggle in and out of the lineup when his No. 13 Mountaineers open their season at home against Buffalo on Friday night.
"We've been talking about Buffalo since I got here in the summertime," West Virginia freshman guard Jordan McCabe told the Charleston Gazette-Mail. "We saw them as a very good first game for us. They're going to test us in a lot of ways and I think we're ready for that test."
The Mountaineers may need time to mesh if an 84-82 exhibition loss to Penn State on Saturday is an indication.
