The West Virginia Mountaineers and head coach Bob Huggins received some good news as former Arizona Wildcat Kerr Kriisa announced he would transfer to Morgantown.
The 6-foot-3 guard from Lithuania played three seasons with the Wildcats of the Pac-12 and appeared in 76 games. Kriisa only played in eight games as a freshman. Overall, he averaged 9.4 points and 4.7 assists per game in his collegiate career.
The addition of Kriisa helps soften the blow of losing shooting guard Erik Stevenson. The newest addition isn’t likely to be the No. 1 scoring option for the Mountaineers next season but he can help facilitate the offense for Huggins.

Nebraska and Xavier were among the teams trying to convince Kriisa to join their team before Huggins and the Mountaineers won out. The Big 12 will look a bit different in college basketball for the 2023-24 season with the BYU Cougars, Cincinnati Bearcats, Houston Cougars, and UCF Knights joining the fray.
