Well, not a lot. For example, I don’t expect to see changes in the starting lineup or the rotation when the Mountaineers play DePaul tonight. The winner leaves the loser in the Big East’s basement.

Yet Bob Huggins, who coaches the first WVU team to be 0-2 in the Big East since 2002, and just his third 0-2 conference team ever, has a few ideas. There may be some more 2-3 zone. He’s going to ask his guards to help the rebounding effort. He plainly stated Casey Mitchell and Deniz Kilicli need to get better. Oh, and for the love of Huggs, please pay attention to the scouting report or be prepared to pay the consequences in the form of playing time.

Yet these Mountaineers seem to disappoint Huggins on a regular basis when it comes to preparation, effort and consistenct, which makes all these additions and adjustments sound like a lot. So I was prepared to ask Huggins two questions. The first: “It sounds like a lot … is it?”

The second? Huggins took the words out of my mouth.

“Let me ask you a better question,” Huggins said. “Do we have any other choice? We’ve got to do what we have to do to win.”

And fast. Consider this: WVU has played the hardest schedule in the country. It’s going to be more difficult the rest of the way. There are seven Big East teams in the Associated Press Top 25 – Pitt, Syracuse, Villanova, Connecticut, Georgetown, Notre Dame and Cincinnati. The coaches’ poll has them all as well as Louisville.

WVU hasn’t played any of them yet. It has two games against Pitt and Louisville and one against the rest, as well as one against No. 11 Purdue. Eleven of the remaining 18 games are against ranked teams. Five are at home.

Huggins sounded very much like a man who knows what’s ahead, but wonders if everyone else is as prepared.

“I think that whatever you do in life, if don’t do it with some enthusiasm, No. 1, you’re not going to be very successful and, No. 2, people are not going to want to be around you very long,” Huggins said. “You’d hate to be working at a place where people come in and they’re not enthusiastic and they’re watching the clock to see when they can get out and they’re just not doing it with any enthusiasm.

“In athletics, if you don’t have some resolve, it really comes down to you against them. Generally speaking, if they want it more they’re going to win. There are times when somebody is just so much more talented, but by and large, what it comes down to is who wants it the most.”
