WVU draws Morgan State
MORGANTOWN — Bob Huggins has led West Virginia to its highest-ever seeding in the NCAA tournament. Yet Huggins and the Mountaineers say their No. 2 seed in the East Region isn’t quite high enough. Fresh off its first Big East championship, West Virginia (27-6) will play Morgan State (27-9) out of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in a first-round game on Friday in Buffalo, N.Y. “I thought statistically we were a 1,” Huggins said Sunday. “The disappointing thing is that when they stand up there and say, ‘Let’s look at the full body of work,’ and if you look at the full body of work, we were probably a 1.” West Virginia made its case for a No. 1 seed behind the heroics of senior forward DaSean Butler’s Big East tournament. Butler’s 3-pointer as time expired gave the Mountaineers a 54-51 victory over Cincinnati and his runner in the lane with 4.2 second left was the difference in West Virginia’s 60-58 win over Georgetown in the title game. “We deserve a 1-seed,” Butler said.
