    • The .."can't handle the pressure." article plays to what Huggins spoke of previously when he said he had a team full of really nice kids. Really great character guys you could take home to mom. And they're lacking nastiness. After a year in the Big East last year and getting as many minutes as they did plus nearly two years under Huggins I'm not sure how Hinds and Browne could have avoided developing some backbone. Staten's game has been off at least from when he got into it with Huggs (maybe before) and the two freshmen are just that so I'll give them a bit of a pass. It has to be tough to be a freshman on a team with little to no leadership. Although maybe the best scene from the K State game was Kilicli talking to Harris while walking with him down the court.

    • What ever happened to WVU's anticipated version of Honey Badger? forget his name, but there seemed to be a lot of press on him early in the 2012 class recruiting.
