Not sure all the reasons - maybe it was mostly football related.... but West Virginia is now in the Big 12...
..so they are going to be doing a whole lot of travelling out west and they got a test of how a team plays when it crosses a few time zones east to west...
In fact - head coach Bob Huggins just gave an interview saying he thinks the transition will be easier than most think because he knows the Big 12..

but way out west...WVU played at Gonzaga last night and got absolutely annihilated..
Gonazaga led 45-18 at half and ended up winning by 84-50 -
but led by 20-30 for much of the game...
Highly touted Juwan Staten who bolted from Dayton and jumped to West Virginia was 0-6 and did practically nothing in 34 minutes - only one assist (he's their PG!)
WVU's Matt Humphrey - a well travelled guy who Bradley was once after - went 1-7 from the arc!
For Gonzaga..SIU's & Memphis transfer Drew Barham also went scoreless.
gotta think Bob Huggins is wondering...
Hey -- you know, Gonzaga is a mid-major...and didn't Huggins just recently make the preposterous claim
that the mid-majors should compete in a separate post-season tournament and not even be allowed into the NCAA Tourney?
Hey Bob -- when you get the foot out of your mouth and the egg off your face - tell us how you really feel
