In a game that is sure to go down in history as one of the most significant in NKU's history, the Norse shocked Bob Huggins and West Virginia 77 - 74 following a 3-point basket with under 2 seconds left in the game. Always remember that NKU's athletes wear the name of our region on their jerseys and when the transition to Division-1 begins, it will mean great things for all of us. What a great way to justify that move -- beating a BIG EAST team on the road!
