Men's basketball: Huggins, West Virginia will play Ohio State next two seasons
Thursday, June 19, 2008 6:07 AM


Rebuffed in his attempts to schedule Ohio State during 16 years as Cincinnati basketball coach, Bob Huggins finally will get his long-awaited game against the Buckeyes.

Coach Thad Matta confirmed yesterday that Ohio State will play Huggins' current team, West Virginia, on Dec. 27 in Value City Arena and during the 2009-10 season in Morgantown, W.Va.

Huggins was an Ohio high school standout at Indian Valley South and was an assistant coach at Ohio State under Eldon Miller from 1978 to 1980. He was coach at Walsh College and Akron, as well as Cincinnati.

Since you asked nicely, I'll leave it - but had to move it.

Outside of mentioning that the game is taking place, I don't think there is a need to discuss this game further here.

I know that there was a post on this and it was closed, but I really think the focus in this shouldn't be on Huggins, but instead on the fact that somehow OSU has magically found the space to schedule West Virginia but not UC.

It's so blatantly obvious how much OSU is avoiding UC, as UC continues to get better.

This post might be closed, but it's still a valid consideration that OSU would have no problem scheduling UC if they wanted to.

Also implied is that the WVU big time coach (not named to avoid the censor) was not the impediment to UC vs. OSU.

If you want to discuss why OSU refuses to play UC, go ahead. But, we will not discuss the WVU/OSU match up on this board. If you want to talk about that game, go to a WVU board or an OSU board.
