West Virginia forward Alex Ruoff could only shake his head and laugh at how unemotional Coach Bob Huggins was after securing his 600th career victory.

"We were clapping and cheering for him as he came out of the bathroom, and he asked what time practice was on Christmas," Ruoff said, describing the scene in the Mountaineers' (No. 24 AP) locker room following a 77-54 win over Canisius on Saturday. "He didn't even address it. We all got a chance to give him a hug. I think it's more special for us than it is for him."

That might be the case because Huggins barely cracked a smile during his postgame news conference. Rather, he mentioned his boyhood days, recalling someone -- Huggins wouldn't say who the person was -- who drove him around to play basketball games.

"He told me one time, 'Take a look, there isn't any rearview mirror in this truck. We're looking out the windshield going straight ahead'," he said. "I've kind of always remembered that."
