MORGANTOWN — Somewhere out there in this world there is someone whose job it is to do nothing but taste different ice cream flavors, test drive the best sports cars or to be Lane Kiffin’s real estate agent.

All great roles, to be sure.

Honor Huff just may have them all beat. He gets to shoot basketballs. A lot of them.

“It’s harder than it sounds,” said Huff, who went 8 of 11 from 3-point range on Tuesday to lead West Virginia to a 90-58 victory against undermanned Little Rock (Ark.). “When you’re not making shots, it’s not the best thing in the world to have that role or that burden on your back.”

Huff scored 24 points in the win. It was the second time this season he reached eight 3-pointers in a game, which is just one shy of Alex Ruoff’s school record.

He hit his final one with 3:51 remaining and was informed he was one shy again of the record. Seconds later, with WVU leading, 84-45, WVU head coach Ross Hodge subbed him out of the game.

“It was kind of a group decision by the coaching staff,” Huff said. “Half of them voted to keep me in and the other half said, ‘Take him out.’ Hodge had the final say. He didn’t want to risk anything, so he took me out.”

It didn’t bother Huff. At the very least, the senior can now say he’s the only WVU guy to be listed second twice.

“I’ll get the record,” Huff said. “I could hear the fans yell, ‘Keep him in. One more.’ It’ll come.”

Certainly there will be other opportunities, possibly at 8 p.m. Saturday, when the Mountaineers (8-3) travel to Cleveland to face Ohio State.

Those opportunities are welcomed by Hodge, even when Huff attempts one from nearly 40-feet away as he did against the Trojans (2-8). That one just barely missed, having hit the right side of the rim and bouncing off rather than sliding in.

“When Honor shoots it,” Hodge explained. “I always think it’s going in.”

Huff’s eight 3-pointers gave him 44 on the season. That currently leads the nation and is one more than Charleston Southern’s Brycen Blaine. It also came just one game after Huff set a school record with 17 3-point attempts in West Virginia’s 75-66 loss against Wake Forest last Saturday.

Make or miss makes no difference to the sharpshooter. His job is to score and spread out opposing defenses. It’s great work if you can get it. Huff does it well.

“I’ve been fortunate enough in my career to have coaches who really put their trust in me and allow me to have a longer leash than probably most,” Huff said. “I’m definitely grateful for that.

“It’s just what I’ve always known. I told one of our managers that I’ve been the same since I was a kid. I’ve been tiny, but I’ve always been able to score. That’s never changed.”

In all, WVU hit a season-high 15 3-pointers, with Treysen Eaglestaff going 5 of 10 from deep to add 23 points. That was just one game after not attempting a shot in the loss against Wake Forest.

Chance Moore continues to have a consistent impact. He added 12 points and six rebounds off the bench.

Little Rock came into the game ranked 347th in the NCAA’s NET rankings, but the Trojans have been hit hard by injuries, including losing their top player, K.K. Robinson to a knee injury for a second consecutive season.

It showed, as the Trojans were held to just 36% (21 of 58) shooting from the field.

“They’ve absolutely been ravaged by injuries,” Hodge said. “When coaches are dealing with injuries, they never want to be the one to talk about them, because, ultimately, you still have to find a way to win games. I’ll say it for them: Injuries suck and they are a part of the game and they’ve been ravaged by them.”

WVU, meanwhile, lit it up from behind the arc, but also came away with 22 assists. That’s the most for WVU in one game since 2022, against Navy.

As to keeping up his role, Huff said his strength comes from the players around him.

“Just the confidence from my teammates, them being around me is going to keep me going,” Huff said. “Seeing guys like (Brenen Lorient) working hard down low and Treysen making some shots, it only keeps me going. I just want to win so bad. I just try to be elite at what I do, and my role on this team is to make shots.”
