Source Believes WVU Basketball Looked "Better" Than Last Season's Team In Scrimmage

WVU men's basketball fans might want to get ready for something exciting this winter.

Many Mountaineer fans likely aren't expecting a miracle to be worked with the WVU basketball program given that they will be embarking on their fourth head coach in as many seasons, and have had to rebuild the roster from scratch for the second consecutive season. But many fans likely didn't expect the Mountaineers to be on the brink of postseason playbefore getting snubbed from the NCAA Tournamentlast season, particularly after star transfer Tucker DeVriesmissed most of the season.

So maybe it shouldn't be a major surprise that people who have seen this edition of the WVU team have already walked away quite impressed. The Mountaineerswere reportedly dominant in a win over rival Marylandin a 'secret' scrimmage last weekend. And nowword has trickled out from someone who saw the scrimmagethat first-year head coach Ross Hodge might have himself a "better" team than the program had last season under Tucker DeVries.

The source also indicated that people should "remember the name Huff" in reference to transfer guard Honor Huff, who isone of the best returning three-point shooters in the nationand allegedly knocked down 10 three-pointers in the scrimmage. The source also gave a rave review on the team's defensive efforts and overall intensity.

"The whole team's good – they're good on defense, they're aggressive. I think they're going to be alright," the source reportedly said.

The Mountaineers will face in-state Division 2 opponent Wheeling this weekend in an exhibition game before getting the season under way November 4 against Mount St. Mary's. WVU is also hostinga trio of highly-touted recruits this weekend.
