Sam Young is our best player with the ball in his hands driving to the hoop. I’ll take Young through the lane as much as anyone else in the country. 21 points on 10-12 shooting (with one awesome alley-oop thrown into that mix) adding 7 bounds and one rejection.
So after a great game to beat a rival, let’s hear what Sam had to say.

Young refused to speak with reporters after the game. He brushed past a media throng on his way to the bus not uttering a word.

Not a big deal though. I’m sure it would be a few cliche-filled sentences that wouldn’t make me think twice anyways. Levon Kendall spoke kindly of Young’s game however.

“Sam played big all night,” Kendall said. “Things were going his way, for sure. (His 3-pointer) really slowed the momentum down. They made their run, and he stepped up and knocked it down, and that kind of took the wind out of their sails.”

You didn’t need to have a PhD. in hoops to see where WVU struggled last night.

First was the shooting and their inability to connect from deep. Only hitting on 6-28 from three point range was their killer; most of the shots were bricks hitting part glass-part rim and never hitting the bottom of the net.

They also missed the target in the entertainment department.

Also what is the deal with the morbidly obese student that they drag out during timeouts to rile up the crowd? Is it funny in Morgantown to be on the fast track to heart disease at 19? I’m being legitimately serious, we may not be the classiest student section ever but how does the athletic department let that happen.
