Basketball Exhibition Game Thread: West Virginia Mountaineers vs Shepherd Rams

Today we get our first public glimpse at Coach Bob Huggins' Mountaineer Men's Basketball team this afternoon in an exhibition contest against local small school, the Shepherd University Rams. Huggs announced his starting five earlier in the week, but based on several reports we could see as many as thirteen Mountaineers get some playing time. One thing of note will be how much Juwan Staten plays in this game that doesn't really count, as he's still nursing an ankle injury that's kept him out of practice for the last week or so.
