But after the WVU basketball team lost four of its last five games, the national rankings have still been kind to head coach Bob Huggins. West Virginia is No. 15 in the AP Poll and No. 11 in the Coaches Poll, according to ESPN.com.
West Virginia is the highest rank five-loss team in the Coaches Poll. Oklahoma comes in three spots behind Oklahoma in the AP Poll, but the Mountaineers beat the Sooners earlier in the season.
The fact that West Virginia is still in the top 15 in both polls should excited even the most cynical fans.
