Watch: Huggins on the collapse

West Virginia coach Bob Huggins discusses his team’s second-half meltdown, during which the Mountaineers turned a 43-31 lead into a 67-57 loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 opener.

Huggins fluctuated between saying the loss was 100-percent his fault and claiming that winning “is not important enough to some” of his players.

“We’re just soft,” Huggins said. “I apologize to Mountaineer Nation, I screwed up. We just don’t have hard guys.

“I know how important this is to people in West Virginia. It kills me that we aren’t better than we are.”
