At least they let them wear branded clothing this time around. Anyone remember how long ago the outdoor punishment practice prior to BET was? or was that before a game with the Johnies?

Neither, it was a holiday tournament in NYC.

It was in the Ellenson year (2016?) during the Thanksgiving tournament. The players loved it and wojo blew it by later saying it was just a gimmick.

I think the players understood it was a gimmick.

I guess you are wasting your time watching the game, discussing it, AND doing my Google for me.  :)

MU practiced at my old NYC club in 2012. So did WVU. Between the two, Huggins made a better impression upon the staff and members, and WVU was the only team welcomed back the next year.

My cousin and husband moved to Morgantown 3 years ago.  Her husband is working on his doctorate at WVU.
He said all the staff knows and loves Huggins.  He's nice to everyone.
Huggins even attends staff meetings & events where coaches normally are not expected to attend as the invite is strictly ceremonial.

Don't do this again because whatever was in the air outside it threw this team into a deep funk, shooting strokes/looks were pathetic @ MSG

I wonder whether practicing on concrete contributed to Theo's knee issues today.   Seemed worse than they had been.
