Nothing about last night’s loss rested well with Bob Huggins and his players — but especially Huggins.

A line of losses and common elements taking a toll, he was in the locker room for about half an hour after the game and visibly spent once he emerged. What did he say? Sometimes you don’t ask because it’s private and the locker room is a sanctuary.

Other times, you don’t ask because you know.

Wednesday night, we knew because Huggins told us. Not directly, if course, but there’s no way what he shared with the media was much different from what he shared with his team.

He was stunningly direct, brutally honest and, again, plainly resigned to his team’s faults and seemingly its fate, too. Sure, there’s time, but there is also a point where you are who you are.

The Mountaineers’ biggest problem is they still don’t know who they are and how they must work. It’s all-encompassing, really, and covers stagnation and panic on offense, confusion and indifference on defense and just about everything in between.

So Huggins is shuffling as WVU is shuffling. He’s cut into playing time and tinkered with lineups and rotations and on Wednesday just didn’t play Keaton Miles and Aaron Brown, two players he indirectly referenced after the first loss to Notre Dame.

Remember, he didn’t use his bench at all in the second half until he had to and seemed to draw the old line in the sand that night. I thought Huggins was something else, someone else then, when he bluntly said some of his guys wouldn’t be playing if not for graduation and defections and basically because you have to put five on the floor.

Last night was more of the same, only different because it was two weeks later. Well, and because this: “We’re probably the most non-athletic team in the league.”

That’s going to get some mileage, and it should for variety of reasons. Atop that list? Here comes very athletic Marquette for a game that, in reality, WVU can’t afford to lose.
