This from ESPN PR today ...
Saturday’s SNF matchup between West Virginia and Oklahoma was the second-most-viewed game across all networks in Week 4 with 4,502,000 average viewers, peaking with 6,273,000 viewers in the final moments of the game.

There are not many places in America where more than 12,000 show up in really poor road conditions to see a team five games under .500 play a home basketball game! West Virginia hoop fans are second to none!!!!

How about this:
@CoachHuggs
is just 4 wins away from 900 for his career! Every single coach ahead of him in all-time wins worked at places where you can pick your teams - not mold teams to what you can get!
Think long and hard about that for a minute!!!!

The difference between Huggs and all these coaches he is hanging around with in all-time wins ... Huggins hasn’t recruited a bunch of ready-made NBA players, he helps develop them! Think about that!

The guy with 908 wins is the reason WVU won this one. His zone he pulled out with 2 minutes to go completely befuddled UConn. The Huskies were 1 of their last 8 shooting.

Was told Missouri State was very appreciative that West Virginia scheduled them because nobody wanted to play them with the experience they have returning and the way they play defense. Not your typical season opener at all ...

Did you catch this quote from Matt Rhule on the Stills brothers?
“56 is one of best players we've played against. I said that coming in. I told people, ‘hey, this kid 56, he's everything that I thought he was going to be, and 55 his brother, lights out.’”

One other thing to consider about

The K-State game is a sellout, but let’s make sure all of those tickets are used on Saturday. A crowd of at least 14,047 will give WVU a season average of 12,000, which would make it just the 4th time that’s happened in Coliseum history - all under Huggs.
