MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Hard-to-please coach Bob Huggins showed his grumpy side after No. 20 West Virginia won its season opener by 28 points.On Monday night, the Mountaineers (1-0) get a chance to show progress during another nonconference tuneup against Mississippi Valley State (0-1).I thought our effort sucked, Huggins said after Fridays 87-59 blowout of Mount St. Marys. I think most people would say the effort was OK, but not for the way were trying to play and for what we have to get done.Though Press Virginia forced 21 turnovers with its full-court defense, Huggins didnt see enough defenders challenging passing lanes or intensity on traps.We play in spurts. We dont play with a lot of consistency yet, he said. That in all honesty is as poor a performance weve had in pressure in three years.Senior forward Nathan Adrian had 13 points and junior guard Jevon Carter added 10 as 11 players scored for West Virginia. Freshman forward Sagaba Konate -- with 11 points, six rebounds and two blocks in only 12 minutes -- made an impressive debut.Junior guard Daxter Miles, a two-year starter and key defender, sat out with an illness and his status remains uncertain for Monday.Huggins said point guard Tarik Phillip (nine points, two assists, three turnovers) played with a sprained knee against Mount St. Marys and forward Esa Ahmad (eight points) had a sprained ankle.Mississippi Valley State absorbed a 94-63 beating at Northwestern in its opener, trailing by double digits after seven minutes.I didnt like the way we played defense at the start of the game, Mississippi Valley coach Andre Payne said. We got after it a little better in the second half, but that start set us back.The Delta Devils, picked to finish sixth in the 10-team SWAC, start five seniors but have posted a 14-52 record the past two seasons under Payne.Guard Marcus Romains 16 points were offset by six turnovers during the loss. Junior forward Amos Given scored 11 points in a reserve role. Cheap Air Jordan . It might not have mattered.

NEW YORK -- Northwestern came into the Legends Classic off a last-second loss to Butler.It didnt seem to bother the Wildcats as they beat No. 22 Texas 77-58 on Monday night.Im really proud of my guys tonight. We had a very tough loss Wednesday in Hinkle Fieldhouse at Butler, Northwestern coach Chris Collins said. Teams can go two separate ways after a loss like that. You can go on a little bit of a tailspin or you can rally together and come out fighting. There was never a doubt in my mind that our guys were going to keep fighting. We came in confident, yet very respectful of Texas. We knew it was going to take a great effort to beat a team like that. I thought a lot of guys played well.Bryant McIntosh had 20 points and five assists in the convincing win that propelled the Wildcats (3-1) into a championship showdown against Notre Dame, which beat Colorado 89-81, on Tuesday night at Barclays Center.McIntosh turned the ball over that led to Butlers buzzer-beater.I thought right after the Butler game, I knew we wouldnt go into a tailspin just because we didnt feel sorry for ourselves, McIntosh said. We were upset that we lost a game that we thought we could win. Thats a difference with this team than on the other teams Ive been on since being here. If we lost a close game, we felt sorry for ourselves where this team were hungry. We think were good and I thought tonight we played exceptionally well.Northwestern opened the game with an 11-0 run and closed the first half on a 9-0 spurt to take a 34-26 lead.The Wildcats opened the second half on a 10-1 run to go up by 17 points and the Longhorns (3-1) were never closer than 14 points the rest of the way.Scottie Lindsey had 16 points and Dererk Pardon had 10 points and 11 rebounds for Northwestern which took advantage of an out-of-synch Texas offense for the easy win.We came in to win, Collins said. We have the utmost respect for Texas, just like we did at Butler the other night. I just think theres a mindset with these guys. I think we believe were good. I believe we can play with these teams, not only
