The Mountaineers got in done at South Florida and probably only need to beat DePaul (winless in Big East play) to seal an NCAA tourney bid. The freshman are continuing to step up for the Mountaineers. Bryant played a real nice game at the point, 13 points, 2 assist, a steal and ZERO turnovers. He scored early when the rest of the team looked a little sluggish. Jones continues to improve and grow in his role, he has a nice mid range jumper. Ebanks could be a beast if he could shoot a little better from the outside. The three freshmen had just over half of the Mountaineers' points, each scoring in double digits.
The only negative is that the temporary theory that Butler had developed into a stud and would carry the team has been debunked. He's a very good player, but just not exceptional enough to be that kind of star player.
As a side note, the game against DePaul is personal for me. Wainright is the head coach for DePaul who previously coached the Richmond Spiders. He completely ruined the Spiders program and left it in shambles for a promotion to DePaul. I found the whole thing absurd as Wainright had done a terrible job at Richmond, he should have been fired not promoted. DePaul had good talent when he came in and the program had high hopes. They have gotten worse every year and here they are at 0-16 in the Big East. I would be extremely upset if WV did not do its part to expose Wainright for the coach that he is and allow DePaul to move on with their program. It was once a pretty proud program.
