West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins knows a thing or two about having tough, gritty players.
In 2012, Mountaineer power forward Kevin Jones put up almost 20 points and 10 rebounds per game for Huggins’ squad en route to a consensus second-team All American nod.
Last year, point guard Jevon Carter finished up his four-year career with his fourth straight selection to the All Big 12 Defensive Team as a Mountaineer.
When the Mountaineers traveled to Waco for a matchup against the Bears on Saturday, Huggins’ team faced a player that would fit right into his style: Baylor sophomore forward Mark Vital.
