Rebuffed in his attempts to schedule Ohio State during 16 years as Cincinnati basketball coach, Bob Huggins finally will get his long-awaited game against the Buckeyes.

Coach Thad Matta confirmed yesterday that Ohio State will play Huggins' current team, West Virginia, on Dec. 27 in Value City Arena and during the 2009-10 season in Morgantown, W.Va.

Huggins was an Ohio high school standout at Indian Valley South and was an assistant coach at Ohio State under Eldon Miller from 1978 to 1980. He was coach at Walsh College and Akron, as well as Cincinnati.
