We kept them on the perimeter, which is what we wanted to do," Huggins said Thursday. West Virginia defeated Clemson and UK held off Princeton Thursday to advance to Saturday's round.Morehead State returns to the court Saturday, taking on Richmond at 5:00pm in the Southwest Regional in Denver. The Eagles are coming off Thursday’s one-point upset of Louisville. The women’s NCAA tournament begins this weekend. Kentucky faces Hampton Saturday; Louisville takes on Vanderbilt Sunday.
