Plus the fouling down the stretch and Huggins double T when the game was decided didn't help.

Going into the last 5 minutes, WVU was 11-17 from 3...ridiculous. If yer gonna chuck it, yaint gonnna get fouls. They had fewer attempts inside 3.

Missing those last 3 in a row, they were due...no one shoots 50+% from three for an entire game.

Right when it looks like Baylor has it won, they throw it away when Tech has to foul. :-)

Bob Huggins: "I've never been in a game when the free throw (attempt) difference was 35-2." Saturday was Hugs' 1,176th game as a college coach.

Do not care in the slightest. Again, Huggins' entire strategy is fouling because he knows the refs can't call them all. He even tells his players this. If WVU games were actually properly called, the differential would be even worse than that and he knows it.

The difference looks garish on paper. In reality, when you literally shoot a jumper every time you have the ball, you're not going to get fouled.

I hope Bill Self destroys him in his post conference similarly to the Bruce Weber headhsot kill.

I don't think Self dislikes Huggins like he dislikes Weber, so he'll probably let this one go.

Yeah, I realize they're drinking buddies and all that, but JFC. Huggins is ALWAYS crying about refs. Such a cunt move when your team fouls non-stop.

Agreed..Squeeky is a shitty coach and whiner to boot.....
I like Huggy, but he rides the refs more than any other coach in the B12....
And it aint even close.....

Right, if I were a ref, I'd tell that fuck that if he doesn't calm the fuck down, I'll tag Carter with 5 fouls before the TV time out. Lord knows he fucking commits them.

Embed wouldn't work with the correct time stamp for some reason.

Within the top 50 (and probably greater), there are no long shots in college basketball.

I didn’t see this comment yet so I will, Doke played a helluva game. His best in a KU uniform.
