West Virginia coach Bob Huggins is expected to make a full recovery after being hospitalized for broken ribs during a Las Vegas recruiting trip.

Athletic director Oliver Luck says Huggins fell in his hotel room Friday night and broke four ribs. He was taken to the hospital and held overnight for observation. Luck says he spoke with associate head coach Larry Harrison, who was with Huggins on the trip.

Huggins is expected to be released today. Virtually every college program has coaches in Southern Nevada this week to scout the various AAU tournaments at several local gyms.
