The West Virginia Mountaineers (2-0) hit a Backyard Brawl milestone on Friday, earning their 100th win over the Pittsburgh Panthers (0-2) by a score of 74-59.
The win also marked Bob Huggins’ 902nd career win, moving the future hall of fame coach into a tie for fifth place alongside Bob Knight. Huggins needs two more wins to pass Roy Williams for fourth place, which he’ll have the opportunity to do next week.
Pittsburgh held a 6-4 lead over the Mountaineers at the first media timeout, but West Virginia began to force turnover after turnover and the Panthers lead was quickly erased.
