Namely, Chris Beard and Bob Huggins are two dominant coaching personalities. Huggins has made West Virginia a consistent March Madness contender with the College Basketball lines. While he may not get top-end talent, Huggins develops tenacious teams. Beard took over a dormant Red Raiders program. Two years ago, he took Texas Tech to the Final Four. Specifically, the Red Raiders defense is one of the toughest in the country. And the calling card for a team that struggles offensively. Texas Tech and West Virginia are Tuesday’s marquee matchup.
