Steve, you should've posted a pic. At least then I wouldn't have to look up the Jolly Green Giant.
Huggins' club is about to lose a home game against KU. ESPN just posted their upcoming five games: 2 w/ Texas Tech, one with Texas, another with Baylor and one with TCU. Just strange to see the upcoming schedule of West Virginia is stretch of 5 straight games with Texas teams.

BTW, sorta related to Huggins - this guy is a fouling machine:
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/gamelog/_/id/45966/deniz-kilicli
2.65 fouls per game, and there are several he has barely played in at all. Basically every time he plays more than 11 minutes, he has 4 or 5 fouls

Bob Huggins says major conferences should create own college basketball postseason event, ditch NCAA tournament
As the collegiate landscape changes amid conference realignment and the NCAA's future remains in flux, West Virginia men's basketball coach Bob Huggins said it's time for the major conferences to split from the other schools and create their own postseason tournament, so they can control the sport's most significant financial stream.
"They're doing it in football," Huggins told ESPN at Big 12 media day. "Why wouldn't they do it? The presidents and athletic directors that have all the juice, why wouldn't they do it? Makes no sense why they wouldn't do it. I think it's more 'Why wouldn't they?' than 'Why would they?' And then, the other people, they can have their own tournament."
It's not the first time the idea has been discussed. Those against changing the 68-team NCAA tournament format in favor of the larger schools have often cited the thrill of watching the Cinderellas compete against more prominent programs.
Huggins, however, said that should not deter the top schools from considering the possibility.
"Those Cinderella schools are putting 200 people, at best, in their gym," Huggins said. "We're putting 14,000."
Huggins said controlling the postseason tournament is a way for basketball to remain financially relevant in the future as college football's influence and footprint continue to grow. He said college basketball revenue, on many campuses, goes toward supporting football, while the NCAA makes the bulk of its money off its basketball tournament.
In 2016, the NCAA signed an eight-year, $8.8 billion extension through 2032 with Turner Sports for the rights to the NCAA men's tournament. The bulk of the NCAA's annual revenue is attained through that TV deal. That's a problem, according to TCU coach Jamie Dixon, who is president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches board of directors.
"I always laugh about the NCAA tournament in college basketball and about how it doesn't make sense how the money is dispersed and where it goes," Dixon told ESPN. "And football has become bigger and the decision-maker in this realignment because of the disbursement of money. And I don't know that we've done our best job with marketing and promoting and building on basketball, because really, the NCAA's only goal is to keep that NCAA tournament as their sole moneymaker."

Just sayin': Higgins is just blowing smoke out his ass; there's 8.8 billion reasons why it's not going to happen anytime soon, like before 2023.
