—Bob Huggins we didn’t run offense. We have been above average defensively. Their offense hasn’t been good for quite a while so you try to fix it. He went through and watched a whole bunch of years of their former guys and how they got open and why they got open and what they ran. So they tried to put some of that in. Reality is they didn’t run that either.
—Huggins said it’s his fault and he’s in charge of fixing it and he didn’t do that.
—Huggins said his dad always talked to him about his attitude. When your attitude goes, your game goes. You can see that from the NBA down. They have guys who aren’t the same people. He isn’t sure he is.
—They have to run offense. They told them that Oklahoma runs great offense. They did a great job bringing in guys that had basketball skills. They said they had to get some athletes to compete with the Baylor and Kansas of the league who obviously lack skill.
—Oklahoma has skilled basketball players that pass it and catch it. He started last week a tips, taps and wraps and they missed 11 one-footers and it helped. But they still aren’t where they need to be. Passing is the one skill that’s really hard to master. And when you can’t do it and now you’re playing at a very high level it’s next to impossible.
—At the start of the year. You cut it out to fix attitude issues but if that’s what it takes that’s what it takes. They’ve done it before and cut very talented guys with bad attitudes. They destroyed the core of the team and you can’t do that.
—Huggins just apologized to two freshmen that had a great week that they didn’t play them. He said he isn’t sure they wouldn’t be better if they were in the game and they’re probably going to find out. They beat the guys who played. He’s not trying to blame or pick on anybody. It’s his job and he’s trying to fix it.
—Seth Wilson played terrific in practice. James Okonkwo was hurt when he fell down.
—Huggins had to get rid of some guys at Cincinnati and they were so much better. He said he’s going to do his best and he knows how important West Virginia basketball is to the people here. They’ve averaged over 11,000 people in here and that’s never happened before. He understands how important it is and how much they plan their schedules around it and he apologizes to them.
—Jamel King was one of those two freshmen and he looked good although he is not where he needs to he defensively.
—West Virginia has to fix them. Their first 8 points are layups tonight. They did everything they were told that Oklahoma would do.
—Huggins said he does to practice everyday trying to do the best job he can. They end up in a ball all the time with guys running into each other and standing in the lane. You have to have some guys that can handle it and pass it.
