WVU v. Northern Kentucky: #TimesChange

20141207_165704[1]

You are looking at a previously taped segment in which West Virginia’s Juwan Staten warmed up and an ill-attired adversary watched on. Hey, you wear the No. 16 next to your name and the opponents wear hashtagged T-shirts. Fact.

Sorry for the delay. Scrambling a little with the bowl news (Liberty, as expected, against Texas A&M, which wasn’t necessarily expected). But we’re here now at the Bank of Kentucky Center, which is a really nice place for a smallish program.

Remember, there’s some history here, which is why w’ere here in the first place. The head coaches have known one another for a while and NKU has hired a former Huggins G.A. (Kevin Schappell) and player (Darris Nichols). Of course, the Norse also beat WVU in an exhibition in 2011. NKU will play two games at WVU in the future to square this.

This is, of course, a homecoming of sorts for Bob Huggins and Devin Williams. We’re in the shadow of Cincinnati, where Huggins built a powerhouse and Williams was born.

No pressure.

Let’s tip.
