By Marc Lawrence, PlaybookSports.com — From this year’s PLAYBOOK March Madness Tournament Guide: No. 8-seeds in the March Madness tourney are on a 5-11 SUATS slide since 2018, including 2-10 SUATS against 9-seeds coming off a SUATS loss.
That’s not good news for Maryland, who won only a single game this month over bottom-feeding Minnesota in the Big Ten Tournament.
West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins is 11-4 SU and 9-5-1 ATS in first round games when coming off a loss, including 9-1 SU and 7-2-1 ATS versus sub .740 foes.
With 6 seniors in the regular rotation representing the top 6 scorers on the team, back Huggy Bear at his best today.
