MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia interim basketball coach Josh Eilert is turning his attention to keeping a roster together following the resignation of Hall of Famer Bob Huggins. Huggins resigned a week ago following a drunken driving arrest. That triggered a 30-day period under NCAA rules that gives West Virginia’s players the option to enter the transfer portal.

Kriisa had transferred from Arizona in April.
