He really didn't think it was equitable? Interesting. He wasn't watching the same game I was I guess. I think Babb would probably disagree. Two absolutely horrible charges called on him while being trapped, and one of them he even got a flagrant. Those were ridiculous.
Yes, but in the postgame broadcast, he was totally gracious and professional, said he needed to control himself better. Proud to be a Cyclone!

Explain the situation with the ejection please.


If I'm not mistaken, his ejection came after Shayok snuck in for the second time to rip down a rebound. Maybe he thought that Shayok fouled someone in order to get the rebound, but it got called against a WV player. We thought it was more about Huggins taking a stand for his team and may not have had much to do with the incident itself.

WVU shoots a 3. On the close-out, Talen (I believe) may have made contact with the shooters hand. Shooter falls to the floor as though he has been hit with a baseball bat, and Huggy wanted a call.

Nice of him to compliment Nick for working his way from fringe rotational guy into full-time starter, confident PG, and jack-of-all trades solid on both ends of the floor.

Nick does not have any outstanding strengths as a player, but neither does he have any real weaknesses. He is steady and efficient, perfect for a team full of chuckers.

Since when have we had a better development story in the program? Melvin?

Tom Eades may have been the one who made him mad, but Eades was not the ref who gave him the first T or the one who tossed him. Rather Eades came in only when Huggins was moving toward the other two.

Yep. The guy flys out of bounds and falls soft to the floor. Too bad he fooled Huggins!

That's two coaches holding him in high regard in their pressers.

Better development...that's a broad topic but yeah Ejim's in the discussion.

Do years in the program count? Always loved Burton's deal.

Bob Huggins should never, ever complain about being on the short end of the call if there is physicality involved.
His teams for decades have pushed that persona and have affected games. This isnt old school, blood bath Big East basketball Hugs.
