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. -
