Background

West Virginia's basketball program isn't as nationally renowned as their football program. Yet, one of the greatest players in basketball history, Jerry West, played at West Virginia in the late 1950's, guiding them to their only Final Four appearance in 1959. The school has claimed 2 National Invitation Tournament titles, most recently in 2007. The Mountaineers joined the Big East in 1995. Besides Huggins and West, other former great players in West Virginia's history have included Rod Hundley, Rod Thorn, Kevin Pittsnogle, Da'Sean Butler, and Mike Gansey.
