After what should be considered a successful trip to Portland, Oregon for the PK85 Tournaments — even with the fifth-place finish — the West Virginia Mountaineers are back on the road on Saturday when they’ll take on the Xavier Musketeers at Xavier for the first time in school history.
While WVU and Xavier have a short history with each other, Mountaineer head coach Bob Huggins is all too familiar with them and, perhaps, still carries the Cincinnati-Xavier rivalry with him at West Virginia. During his media call on Thursday, Huggins didn’t mince words when asked for his thoughts on the Mountaineers drawing the Musketeers in the Big 12-Big East Battle.
