(BCSNN) — Honor Huff delivered the defining performance of his West Virginia career — and one of the great postseason efforts in program history — scoring a career‑high 38 points to lead the Mountaineers to an 89–82 overtime win over Oklahoma in the College Basketball Crown championship game Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.

Huff, named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, shot 9‑for‑19 from the field, 8‑for‑15 from three and a perfect 12‑for‑12 at the free‑throw line. His eight made threes pushed his season total to 120, breaking the WVU single‑season record previously held by Frank Young (117 in 2007).

“I am forever indebted to this group,” Huff said. “We have the most camaraderie this year of any place I’ve ever been.”

The senior guard’s performance capped a strong tournament run in which he scored 21 points against Stanford and 13 against Creighton.

West Virginia (21–14) built an early 15‑point lead before Oklahoma (21–16) surged ahead by 13 on an Xzayvier Brown jumper with 14:16 remaining. The Mountaineers later trailed by seven with 4:16 left but forced overtime behind Huff’s late scoring. He tallied the final five points of regulation, including two free throws with 33 seconds left to give WVU a 76–74 lead.

Tae Davis tied the game with 18 seconds remaining, and Huff’s potential game‑winner at the buzzer was off the mark.

Oklahoma opened overtime with six straight points to lead 82–76, but the Sooners did not score again. Jasper Floyd hit a three to cut the deficit in half, and after Brenen Lorient blocked a Nigel Pack layup, Huff buried another three to tie the game.

Following a timeout, Pack missed from deep, Lorient secured the rebound and found Floyd, who hit his second three of the extra period to give WVU an 85–82 lead. Harlan Obioha then blocked a Davis layup, and Huff closed the game with four straight free throws.

Chance Moore provided a major lift off the bench with 19 points and 10 rebounds, including 13 points in the second half. Lorient added 15 points and eight boards in his final game as a Mountaineer.

Oklahoma shot 53 percent from the field and 8‑for‑20 from three. Davis scored 19 points, Brown added 13, and Pack finished with 24. The Sooners, however, made just two of eight shots in overtime.

West Virginia’s two biggest edges came at the free‑throw line — 18‑for‑23 compared to Oklahoma’s 10‑for‑12 — and in points off turnovers, where WVU held a 26–11 advantage.

The championship marks the program’s first postseason tournament title since winning the 2007 NIT. WVU also closes its first season under head coach Ross Hodge with a 21–14 record.

“What this team has done, whether being down or having a tough loss, they’ve always found a way to fight back,” Hodge said. “They’re special.”

Players on the championship roster will share $300,000 in NIL compensation, awarded to the winners of the College Basketball Crown.
