--West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins said that the decision of Oscar Tshiebwe to step away from the team didn’t catch him by surprise but it’s going to give them the opportunity to win more games. They can spread the floor more and make shots but gives Derek Culver the opportunity to work more in the post. They’ll also have more chances to get Jalen Bridges involved.
--West Virginia just wants Gabe Osabuohien to stay in the game. He has been extremely valuable to the Mountaineers for a lot of different reasons. He can rebound it, pass it, but they have to keep him on the floor in order to take advantage of that.
--West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins says there is no opportunity for Oscar Tshiebwe to return. He is confident those guys that are there will do a good job for them.
--Huggins would not expound on the fact that it didn’t catch him by surprise.
--West Virginia can do a lot of things with Tshiebwe’s spot. Jalen Bridges could play at the four spot and rebounded the ball as well as anybody in practice last year. He’s struggled to make shots, but he is confident that he can step out there and make shots and spread the floor.
--Derek Culver is the best big in the league. Emmitt Matthews could play a little bit of four for West Virginia, but they don’t think that will be a big part of things.
--Huggins doesn’t want to talk about Tshiebwe. He wants to talk about the guys that are here and have worked their tails off all summer long. Continued to work even when they didn’t want to play. Those guys deserve all the opportunity to show what they can do.
--The thing that is exciting to him is they want to be around guys like Isaiah Cottrell because he came into practice yesterday in his scooter and didn’t want to miss anything. They’re going to be really good this year but getting Isaiah back will elevate them another step up the ladder.
--West Virginia has great guys. They were all there yesterday, so they know what the game plan is, and they know what they’re going to do and how to do it. He is more excited about the opportunity to come and play a couple games than he has since the beginning because of their attitudes.
--It’s a huge positive to see what the roster can do now in a sense. You want to get Jalen in the game and there wasn’t the opportunity and he deserved it. Personally, he’s excited about what those guys can do. If Bridges can play the way he did at the end of the year, he could be special.
--Huggins doesn’t know if they play three guards, he thinks they’re fine the way they are.
--Ronnie Everhart has the scout for Oklahoma.
--Seny Ndiaye practiced very well yesterday. He wouldn’t have a problem putting him in the game.
