MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Bob Huggins has talked a lot in the past about having that old Boston Celtics “pop” coming off the bench. He’s had it throughout his career, whether it was at Walsh, Akron, Cincinnati, Kansas State or now West Virginia.
And the guys he’s bringing off the bench right now for his 13-1 Mountaineer basketball team have to rank with some of the best benches he’s ever had.
Reigning Big 12 player of the week Jaysean Paige had a 25-point performance in West Virginia’s double-overtime win at Kansas State, and he followed that up with a team-high 20 points in the Mountaineers’ eight-point victory at TCU on Monday night.
