West Virginia Wins College Basketball Crown in OT Behind Huff's 38

The win delivers West Virginia its first postseason tournament title since 2007.

Overview

  • West Virginia, which closed out Sunday’s championship in Las Vegas, beat Oklahoma 89-82 in overtime to claim the College Basketball Crown.
  • Honor Huff hit eight 3-pointers and scored a career-high 38 points, then made late free throws to seal the result.
  • Jasper Floyd, cold until overtime, drilled two key 3s in a 13-0 closing run that erased an 82-76 deficit.
  • Chance Moore contributed 19 points and 10 rebounds off the West Virginia bench, while Oklahoma’s Nijel Pack led the Sooners with 24 points and seven assists.
  • The event, a smaller eight-team postseason tournament separate from the NCAA field, awarded $300,000 to West Virginia’s NIL collective and $100,000 to runner-up Oklahoma, a timely boost as transfer-portal moves loom.
