Honor Huff Went Nuclear From Three and West Virginia Won the CBC Title in Overtime

Honor Huff turned the championship game of the College Basketball Crown Tournament into a three-point clinic on Sunday night in Las Vegas. The West Virginia senior guard dropped a career-high 38 points, including eight made three-pointers, to lead the Mountaineers past Oklahoma 89-82 in overtime. This was the kind of performance that makes you sit back and wonder how one player can take over a game like that.

Huff's Shooting Clinic Steals the Show

Huff was absolutely unstoppable from deep. He made 9 of 19 shots overall, with seven of his misses coming from beyond the arc. That accuracy from long range? Eight threes made. He was also perfect from the free throw line, connecting on all 12 of his attempts. Add in four assists and you're looking at one of those performances you tell people about years later. Chance Moore was huge off the bench too, adding 19 points on lights-out 7-for-8 shooting while grabbing 10 boards. Brenen Lorient chipped in 15 points and eight rebounds.

For Oklahoma, Nijel Pack led the way with 24 points and seven assists. Tae Davis added 19 points while Xzayvier Brown scored 13. But it wasn't enough.

An Overtime Thriller That Came Down to Execution

West Virginia started hot, jumping out to a 26-11 lead in the first 9:25. Oklahoma fought back though, with Davis leading a 9-0 run and hitting another crucial three-point play late in the half. The Sooners took a 41-37 halftime lead. The second half stayed tight until Pack hit a three with 3:31 left to give Oklahoma a double-digit lead at 52-42. West Virginia clawed back, and Huff tied things up at 71-all with 1:45 remaining. Pack and Huff traded threes down the stretch, but after Davis turned it over and fouled Huff, the West Virginia guard hit both free throws with 33 seconds left. Davis answered with a layup to send it to OT at 76-76.

In overtime, West Virginia took control immediately. Huff and Jasper Floyd engineered a stunning 13-0 run while holding Oklahoma scoreless through the first six points of the extra period. Floyd, who had missed his first eight shots, suddenly caught fire with back-to-back threes around one from Huff. That 9-0 stretch put West Virginia up 85-82 for good. Huff closed it out from the free throw line, hitting the final four points.

West Virginia finishes 21-14. Oklahoma falls to 21-16.
