WVU plays Davidson tonight in the Jimmy V Classic (7 p.m., ESPN) and the Mountaineers will get a look at the nation’s leading scorer, Stephen — think Steffen – Curry. At home, you’ll probably get several looks at his mom. WVU’s best perimeter defender, Joe Mazzulla, is unlikely to play and Curry, who rises to every occasion, no matter the opponent, looks to add to his 31.3 points per game.

The Mountaineers’ reaction: So?

“Steph is one of the best in the country, but you know what? (Connecticut’s) Hasheem Thabeet one best players in the country, too,” Huggins said. “We’ve got a bunch of them in this league (the Big East Conference). It’s full of the best players in the country.

“It’s not any different than going to play the people we have to play any other day. Honestly, I think with who we play in this league, what does it matter?

“It’s kind of like when played Kentucky. Everyone was like, ‘You’re playing Kentucky.’ So? So what? Let’s go play. We play the best people in the country game after game after game.

“(The Big East) had three teams in the top five in the country. If we’re going to be any good in this league, we better go play. We need to get better and we won’t get better playing people who don’t challenge us.”

The Mountaineers won’t double-team Curry, like Loyola (Md.) tried last month. Look for constant man-to-man with different people — and different positions — getting time against Curry.
