Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.
BASKETBALL IS BACK
College basketball is back, and West Virginia will be starting its season tonight against Oakland in Morgantown. Bob Huggins is starting his 40th season as a coach and his 15th at his alma mater. Huggins earned his 900th career win last season against Morehead State during the NCAA Tournament, so tonight will also mark the celebration of that accomplishment since this is the team’s first regular season home game since that win.
While tonight will involve some celebrating of WVU’s legendary coach, it is also the first regular season home game in the WVU Coliseum for seven Mountaineers.
