‘Ugly’ Salukis await WVU

MORGANTOWN — Southern Illinois, West Virginia’s first-round opponent in the NCAA men’s tournament, has been accused of playing “ugly basketball.” But second-year coach Chris Lowery said Monday, “It’s only in the eyes of the beholder. We guard. And if you ask anybody that plays us, (they’ll tell you) we keep teams honest. “And when you’re patient and making people be honest — and I guess that’s ‘ugly’ in this day and age — we’ve got to pressure you.”
