West Virginia coach's daughters taunt Maryland's Wells with rape remarks
The daughters of West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins decided it was appropriate to attack Maryland guard Dez Wells on Twitter following the Mountaineers' 69-59 victory over the Terrapins on Sunday.
Jenna Leigh Huggins, who later made her Twitter account private, made rape-related remarks about Wells, who was expelled from Xavier in 2012 after sexual assault accusations, according to Dan Steinberg of The Washington Post.
Jenna Leigh posted the following tweet regarding Wells and a Jewish Maryland fan attending Sunday's game.

Jacqueline Huggins apparently tweeted: "Hey #Maryland yell 'airball' all you want at Wan, because at the end of the day ... Dez is still a (expletive) RAPIST."
The tweet was later deleted, but the following one was not:
"NO MEANS NO DEZ!" -@JennaLeigh44

Wells filed a lawsuit against Xavier, alleging that the accusations were false. The two sides settled out of court in April 2014.
