Always candid with the media and in front cameras, West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins is never at a loss for words.

On Wednesday, Huggins had a little fun comparing himself to Villanova head coach Jay Wright.

"I keep telling him if I'd lose weight he'd be the second best good looking coach," Huggins said, according to Dana O'Neil of ESPN.

Wright, who was recently featured in GQ Magazine, is one of the best dressed coaches with his extensive suit collection.

Huggins is the complete opposite when it comes to game-day attire, as he's well known for donning a track jacket pullover.

The clashing styles could only meet this year if Villanova and West Virginia were to reach the Final Four.
