“It’s great to be home. As soon as I put my feet on the ground in this great state, I’ve been walking on air ever since. My wife always said anytime I get 20 miles from Morgantown my face starts to brighten up, and then I smile and get happy. Some of the greatest times of my life have been here and I’m hoping to have a lot more of them. This has always been a dream for me to coach here. Thanks for letting me come home.” – West Virginia Head Coach Bob Huggins

TRADITION OF CHAMPIONS ROLL OUT THE CARPET!
ðð
One of college basketball’s great traditions was introduced by Fred Schaus at West Virginia University in 1955. It was during that time that Schaus and Mountaineer supporter Alex Mumford came up with the idea of rolling out an elaborate gold and blue carpet for the Mountaineers to run out on during pregame warm-ups. In addition, Mountaineer players warmed up with a special gold and blue painted basketball
ðð
West Virginia University continued this tradition during the George King era until it was interrupted in the late 1960s. Former Mountaineer player Gale Catlett reintroduced the carpet when he returned to West Virginia in 1978, and it has since become the highlight of pregame introductions at the WVU Coliseum

Let’s give a rah for West Virginia, And let us pledge to her anew, Others may like black or crimson, But for us it’s Gold and Blue. Let all our troubles be forgotten, Let college spirit rule, We’ll join and give our loyal efforts For the good of our old school. It’s West Virginia, it’s West Virginia, The pride of every mountaineer, Come on you old grads, join with us young lads. It’s West Virginia now we cheer! Now is the time boys to make a big noise No matter what the people say For there is naught to fear, the gang’s all here, So hail to West Virginia, hail!

Four coaches – Bob Huggins, Jim Calhoun, Joe Boeheim and Rick Pitino – rank in the top 25 nationally among active coaches in victories. The BIG EAST is the only conference to place at least one team in every NCAA Elite Eight since 2002 (West Virginia, 2005). With five Sweet 16 teams in 2009, the BIG EAST has had the most teams reach the regional semifinal round over the last seven seasons.

2009-10 season preview while averaging 10.5 points per contest. He came on strong at the end of last season, scoring double figures in 14 of the last 16 games of the season. Ebanks had career bests of 20 points against Pitt and 22 points against Syracuse in the BIG EAST tournament. He finished with 273 rebounds, six shy of the WVU freshman record. The Mountaineers also return senior Wellington Smith, who started all 35 games last season. The athletic forward averaged 21.4 minutes per game a year ago while grabbing 70 offensive rebounds and blocking 53 shots. Smith has a chance to finish as WVU’s all-time leader in career blocked shots. One of the BIG EAST’s best sixth men, Kevin Jones had an outstanding freshman season for the Mountaineers. Jones played in all 35 games, averaging 19.3 minutes per game. He averaged 6.3 points per game, while grabbing 170 rebounds and shot 49.5 percent from the field. Jones played well in BIG EAST play, including one stretch of six games in double figures with a career-high 19 points against Louisville. Junior John Flowers, who has started six career games, is a versatile, athletic forward and averaged nearly 17 minutes per game a year ago. Flowers posted 14 points in games against Iowa and Seton
DEVIN EBANKS West Virginia men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins is no stranger to winning. After leading the Mountaineers to an NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in his first season, Huggins overcame key injuries and played in the country’s toughest conference with a group of freshmen to direct the Mountaineers to 23 victories and another NCAA Regional appearance in 2008-09. With nine of his top 10 scorers back from last year’s squad, joined by a promising class of newcomers, West Virginia certainly enters the 2009-10 basketball season with high expectations. The Mountaineers are ranked in just about every preseason publication, including a No. 5 ranking by The Sporting News. WVU enters the season as a legitimate contender for the BIG EAST crown. Huggins, the fourth-winningest active coach in America, must replace senior Alex Ruoff, who averaged 15.7 points per game last season. Ruoff, a two-time Academic All-American and BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete, left as the school’s all-time leader

in game and career 3-pointers made. Other than Ruoff, the key components from last year’s squad are back. West Virginia has depth and bulk for the first time since Huggins has taken over the program. The Mountaineers return two of the BIG EAST’s top players in senior Da’Sean Butler and sophomore Devin Ebanks. Butler, who has started 72 career games and ranks 17th in school history in scoring with 1,441 career points, led the Mountaineers in scoring last season at 17.1 points per game. The Newark, N.J., native who earned second team all-BIG EAST honors, posted 43 points against Villanova last year, the most points by a BIG EAST player in a league game in six years. Butler has been WVU’s most consistent player over the last three seasons. Ebanks was named to the BIG EAST all-Rookie team and BIG EAST all-Tournament team after posting one of the best seasons ever by a Mountaineer freshman. Ebanks, standing at 6-feet-9-inches, led the Mountaineers in rebounding at 7.8 per game

Da’sean butler Hall and had 13 points at Ole Miss, including a late 3-pointer to help lead the Mountaineers to a win. Redshirt junior Cam Thoroughman gave the Mountaineers valuable minutes off the bench last season. He played in 33 games, averaging 9.2 minutes per game. Thoroughman had six points in games against Radford and Ohio State and grabbed eight rebounds versus Davidson and Radford. Two big newcomers join the Mountaineers this season in Dan Jennings and Deniz Kilicli. Jennings, at 6-feet-8-inches and 260 pounds, spent last season at St. Thomas More School, where he averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. Kilicli, at 6-feet-9-inches and 265 pounds, attended Mountain State Academy last season, averaging 15 points and 11 rebounds per game. Both freshmen will give the Mountaineers a physical presence. At the point, junior Joe Mazzulla had a rough season, starting seven of the first eight games before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. Mazzulla, who will have two years of eligibility remaining, had a breakout game against Duke in the 2008 NCAA tournament and had 13 points in the win over Iowa last November before the injury. Sophomore Darryl “Truck” Bryant was forced into a starting role with Mazzulla’s injury. Bryant

2009-10 SEASON PREVIEW started 22 games, averaging 9.8 points per contest. Bryant had 21 games in double figures, including 22 points against Marshall and 21 points versus Dayton in the 2009 NCAA tournament. He handed out 96 assists, the fifth most by a Mountaineer freshman in school history. Junior college transfer Casey Mitchell and freshman Dalton Pepper look to fill Ruoff’s spot at shooting guard. Mitchell, the 2009 National Junior College Athletic Association Player of the Year and first team All-American at Chipola College, has good physical strength and athleticism. Pepper also has excellent size and strength for an off-guard. Pepper comes to WVU after being named the 2009 Pennsylvania Player of the Year by the Associated Press. Junior Jonnie West and sophomore Cam Payne round out the Mountaineer backcourt. West, youngest son of former All-America Jerry West, played in 11 games as a sophomore, averaging 3.2 minutes per game. Payne, a native of Charleston, W.Va., played in 11 games as a freshman. Without question, Huggins has put together the toughest schedule in Mountaineer basketball history. Some of WVU’s non-conference includes Ohio State, Ole Miss, Purdue and three games against quality competition in the 76 Classic in Anaheim, Calif. Heading into BIG EAST play, the Mountaineers are one of only four league schools with a winning record in league play in each of the past four seasons. “Last season, every loss we had, we didn’t score 70 points,” says Huggins. “I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but I would say it would behoove us to score at least 70 points in every game. If we do that, because of the way we guard, we have a great chance to win a lot of games.”

proven success as a program builder, recruiter and game strategist who has won 639 games as a collegiate head coach, Bob Huggins has directed his alma mater to 49 victories and back-to-back appearances in the NCAA tournament during his first two seasons in Morgantown. Huggins, a 1977 graduate of West Virginia University, was introduced as WVU’s 21st men’s basketball coach on Good Friday, April 6, 2007. “I am so happy to have Bob Huggins back at West Virginia University,” said Director of Athletics Ed Pastilong at Huggins’ introductory press conference. “Bob’s record speaks for itself, and we are delighted to have him back at his alma mater.” Huggins, 56, has compiled a 639-234 (.732) record in his 27 seasons as a head coach, which includes stints at Walsh College (1980-83), Akron (1984-1989), Cincinnati (1989-2005), Kansas State (2006-07) and West Virginia (2007-present). He ranks fourth in total victories and 12th in winning percentage among active Division I head coaches. “I’m incredibly happy to be back at West Virginia,” said Huggins. “I just wanted to come home. I’ve known Ed Pastilong for a long time, and he does a wonderful job as athletic director. I’m so proud to represent this state and this wonderful University.” Huggins’ teams have participated in postseason play in 24 of his 27 seasons, including 17 NCAA tournament appearances. His squads have won 20 or more games in all but four of his 27 campaigns, including 30 or more twice, and he has averaged 23.7 victories a season. “I am absolutely thrilled with the announcement of Bob Huggins as WVU’s next basketball coach,” said former Mountaineer great Jerry West at the time of Huggins’ hiring. “He is a great coach and a great recruiter. We’re fortunate to have one of our own back to lead the program and WVU fans should be thrilled. There are good coaches and there are great coaches – Bob is one of the greats.” In 2008-09, Huggins led the Mountaineers to 23 victories in his second season at WVU, advancing to the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row. Huggins became the second Mountaineer coach to win 20 games in his first two seasons in Morgantown. The Mountaineers reached the semifinals of the BIG EAST championship for the second year in a row.

BOB HUGGINS captured two more league titles and made another pair of NCAA appearances. Huggins surprised the basketball world in 1998 by directing a team that had only one returning starter to a 27-6 record, conference regular season and tournament titles, a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament and a Top 10 finish in the polls. Huggins’ 2002 team, unranked when the season began, posted a 31-4 record, setting a Cincinnati mark for victories. Huggins has also directed star-studded teams, while developing the individual talents of players such as consensus All-Americans Danny Fortson, Kenyon Martin and Steve Logan, to a succession of conference championships and NCAA tournament runs. Huggins has achieved similar success on the recruiting trails. He signed three No. 1-rated junior college players and five McDonald’s All-Americans to Cincinnati, while six of his last nine recruiting classes ranked among the nation’s Top 10. His 2007 recruiting class at Kansas State was ranked No. 1 in the country by several outlets, Rivals. com, Scout.com and Sports Illustrated. Huggins’ first West Virginia recruiting class earned a Top 10 ranking by several scouting services. Huggins earned the Ray Meyer Award as the Conference USA coach of the year a record three times (1998, 1999 and 2000), and was a unanimous choice as the Conference USA coach of the decade. He was selected as national coach of the year by ESPN.com in 2002. He was named co-national coach of the year by The Sporting News in 2005 and was Basketball Times’ national coach of the year in 1998. He earned national coach of the year recognition from Hoop Scoop in 1992 and Playboy in 1993. In 2002, Huggins suffered a major heart attack on the last Saturday of September but was present for the team’s first practice two weeks later and coached the Bearcats with the same intensity that has become his trademark. The 2003-04 season was business as usual for Huggins, who piloted the Bearcats to Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and an NCAA tourney berth while amassing a 25-7 record. Huggins earned his first head coaching assignment at Walsh College (now University), an NAIA school in North Canton, Ohio, in 1980 at the age of 27. A program with just two winning seasons in the previous 17 years, Huggins transformed the Cavalier program into one of the best in the NAIA ranks in just three short seasons. He compiled a 71-26 record (.732) from 1980 to 1983, twice guiding the team to the postseason, including their firstever NAIA national tournament appearance. After coaching the team to 14 victories in his first season, Huggins helped produce a 23-9 record in his sophomore campaign and an NAIA district playoff appearance in 1981-82, which include the school’s first Mid-Ohio championship. His final team finished the regular season with a 30-0 record and a No. 2 national ranking before winning four more games to qualify for the program’s first-ever NAIA national tournament. The Cavaliers lost in the national tournament to Salem College, 65-63, to end the nation’s longest winning streak of 34. Huggins was twice named NAIA District 22 coach of the year following the 1982 and 1983 seasons. After a one-year stint as an assistant coach at Central Florida in 1983-84, Huggins accepted his first Division
I head coaching position at Akron in 1984. He quickly resurrected another program that had fallen on difficult times, as he guided the Zips to a 97-46 (.678) overall record and to postseason play in three of his five seasons. The program posted 20 or more wins in a season on four occasions. After a 12-14 mark in his first season, Huggins led Akron to its first NCAA tournament appearance and conference title at the Division I level in 1986 with a 22-8 record. Winners of the Ohio Valley conference regular season and tournament championship, the 15th-seeded Zips lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament to fifth-seeded Michigan, 70-64. In guiding the team to its highest win total in 13 seasons, Huggins was named the Ohio Valley conference coach of the year. He continued his success with the first of three consecutive 21-win seasons in 1987 and an appearance in the NIT. Huggins capped his five-year tenure at Akron in 1989 by helping the Zips to their second trip to the NIT in 1989 with a 21-8 record. While at Akron, Huggins coached Brian Roth, who earned All-America honors in 1985, while Eric McLaughlin earned Academic AllAmerica honors in 1989. Three players earned first team all-conference honors during his tenure, including two-time selection and 1986 Ohio Valley conference player of the year Marcel Boyce. McLaughlin was also named tournament MVP during the Zips’ run to the Ohio Valley tournament championship in 1986. After his playing career at West Virginia, Huggins began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at WVU for his college coach, Joedy Gardner, in 1977. He moved to Ohio State the following season to assist head coach Eldon Miller. During his two-year stint from 1978-80, Huggins helped the Buckeyes to a 40-20 (.667) record and a pair of postseason appearances, including the second round of the 1980 NCAA tournament.
Huggins was a three-year all-Ohio selection and the 1972 Ohio player of the Year while playing for his father, Charles, at Indian Valley South High in Gnadenhutten, Ohio. He first attended Ohio University but transferred to West Virginia after his freshman season. Huggins was a three-year letterman for the Mountaineers under Gardner from 1975-77. As a senior and tricaptain, he helped the squad to an 18-11 overall record and a tie for the Eastern Collegiate Basketball League (ECBL) Western division title. In addition to helping the team earn their highest win total in nine seasons, he was named most valuable player after pacing the squad with 3.8 assists per game average. A two-time Academic All-American, Huggins graduated from West Virginia magna cum laude in 1977 and received his master’s in health administration from WVU in 1978. Huggins was born in Morgantown on Sept. 21, 1953. He and his wife, June, have two daughters, Jenna Leigh and Jacqueline.

ASSISTANT COACHES Billy Hahn
Assistant Coach
B
illy Hahn, a coaching veteran of 32 years, enters his third season as assistant basketball coach at West Virginia University. “Obviously, Billy has a wealth of experience and contacts to enable us to better recruit the East as well as the Midwest,” says coach Bob Huggins. “I’ve always had tremendous respect for Billy as a player and for the last 30-plus years as a coach. It’s great to have him back to West Virginia, where he started his coaching career at Morris Harvey.” Hahn spent the majority of his coaching career at Maryland, where he was an assistant to Gary Williams for 12 seasons from 1989-2001. While at Maryland, the Terps went to the NCAA tournament a school-record eight straight years, including the 2001 Final Four. In 2002, the season after Hahn left for a head coaching job at La Salle, the Terps won the national championship with many of Hahn’s recruits. For his work, Williams and the Maryland basketball program presented Hahn with a championship ring. While at Maryland, the Terps finished fourth or higher in the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season standings in eight consecutive seasons, and established then-school records for overall victories (28 in 1999) and ACC victories in a season (13 in 1999). Hahn was promoted to associate head coach in 1997 and served as one of Maryland’s primary recruiters and was the lead scout in addition to his on-the-floor coaching and administrative duties. He recruited and coached three NBA Lottery picks (Walt Williams, Joe Smith and Steve Francis) and was named one of the top 10 recruiters in the eastern United States by Eastern Basketball. “Bob Huggins and I go way back,” says Hahn. “When I was the head coach at Ohio and he was the head coach at Akron, I used to schedule him every year. I did the same thing when I was at La Salle and he was at Cincinnati. I knew to play Bob’s teams, you had to be tough-minded and prepare a certain way to be successful against him. By playing Bob and his teams, it made our teams better. “Now I’ve come full circle, back to West Virginia where I got my start some 30 years ago. This is a dream come true. I’ve always respected Bob and we’ve always

maintained a professional relationship.” Hahn began his coaching career in 1975 in West Virginia as an assistant coach to Rich Meckfessel at Morris Harvey College. He then served as an assistant coach to Dave Pritchett at Davidson for one year before moving on to serve as an assistant coach at Rhode Island for Jack Kraft from 1977-80. During his time at URI, the Rams went to the NCAA tournament in 1978 and NIT in 1979. In 1980, Hahn began a six-year stint as an assistant coach at Ohio University under Danny Nee. At Ohio, the Bobcats won the Mid-American Conference championship in 1983 and 1985, advancing to the NCAA tournament in both of those years. The Bobcats also went to the NIT in 1986. Hahn was named head coach at Ohio University in 1986 and coached the Bobcats for three years until 1989, leading them to the MAC championship game in 1988. During his career there, he recruited and coached the school’s all-time leading scorer in Dave Jamerson. Hahn recruited and coached Paul Graham, the MAC player of the year in 1989. After serving as an assistant at Maryland for 12 years, Hahn served as head men’s basketball coach at La Salle for three years from 2001-04. In recent years, Hahn has been a director of the Hoop Group, a New Jersey-based recruiting and camp service, and also has served as a college basketball television analyst. Hahn has coached 20 NBA players during his career: Sly Williams, Paul Graham, Dave Jamerson, Tony Massenburg, Jerrod Mustaf, Walt Williams, Keith Booth, Joe Smith, Sarunas Jasikevicius, Laron Profit, Terence Morris, Obinna Ekezie, Steve Francis, Chris Wilcox, Lonny Baxter, Steve Blake, Juan Dixon, Steven Smith, Rasual Butler and Joe Alexander. Hahn, 55, earned his bachelor’s degree in distributive education with a minor in business administration from Maryland in 1975. While there, he was a three-year
varsity letterwinner under Lefty Driesell on three of the best basketball teams Maryland has fielded. He was a freshman in 1971-72 when the Terps won the National Invitation Tournament; he was a key reserve on the team that lost what is considered to be the greatest game in ACC history (Maryland’s 103-100 overtime setback against NC State in 1974). He captained the team his senior year. Hahn is one of only two players in Maryland basketball history to play and coach in the NCAA tournament. He was also a part of two of the winningest teams in school history. He played on Maryland’s 1974-75 team that finished with a 24-5 record (.828 winning percentage) and coached the 1998-99 team that won a thenschool record 28 games and went 28-6 (.824 winning percentage).

arry Harrison, a former assistant under Bob Huggins at Cincinnati, enters his third season as an assistant coach at West Virginia University. “Larry really brings a lot to the table,” says Huggins. “He’s one of the better recruiters in the country and has contacts in areas where our current staff does not. He knows our current system very well and he’s an excellent instructor on the floor. He’s a great teacher of the game.” Harrison came to West Virginia from the Washington Wizards, where he served as a scout in 2006-07. He has more than 25 years of coaching experience. Harrison served as head coach at Hartford from 2000-06, earning America East Coach of the Year honors in 2006. He led Hartford to a third-place conference finish in 2002, 2003 and 2006 and semifinals of the conference tournament in 2002, 2003 and 2004. Hartford had the nation’s second-best total win increase from 2001 to 2002 with four wins in 2001 to 14 wins in 2002. “I am really excited about the opportunity to coach at West Virginia University and reuniting back with Coach Huggins,” says Harrison. “I know West Virginia University is excited about Coach Huggins being here and we’re looking forward to building championships.” Prior to Hartford, Harrison was an assistant under head coach Pat Kennedy at DePaul for three seasons (1997-2000). He previously served as an assistant coach at Cincinnati (1989-97) under Huggins, including the last four as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. While at Cincinnati, Harrison assisted Huggins with the building of one of the most potent college basketball teams in the nation.

At UC, Harrison recruited and coached future NBA players Nick Van Exel, Corie Blount, Dontonio Wingfield and 1997 NBA first round draft pick Danny Fortson. He also recruited Ruben Patterson and Kenyon Martin, who was the consensus college basketball player of the year in 2001. Known as one of the top recruiters in the nation, Harrison’s recruiting classes have been ranked
among the best in the nation on a regular basis. His 1998 recruiting class at DePaul was ranked as the No. 1 class in the nation by The Sporting News. During his last four years at Cincinnati, three of the Bearcat recruiting classes were ranked in the top 10, including the Bearcats’ 1996 recruiting class, which was regarded as the best in the nation. Since 1989, Harrison’s teams have earned seven bids to the NCAA tournament and three NIT bids. During Harrison’s tenure, Cincinnati advanced to the Final Four once (1992) and Elite Eight twice (1993, 1996).

Prior to his stint at Kansas State, he spent two years as an assistant coach at Cincinnati State and Technical College in Cincinnati for head coach Andre Tate from 2004-06. “I’m so excited to be coaching here at West Virginia,” says Martin. “There are so many good things about West Virginia University and the state of West Virginia.” In 2005-06, he helped the Surge post a 26-9 overall record en route to winning the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference and NJCAA Region XII District 7 tournament titles. The program advanced to the NJCAA Division II championship where it lost to eventual national runner-up Kirkwood (Iowa) Community College to finish fifth nationally. Martin helped coach a number of outstanding players at Cincinnati State, including Cincinnati signee John Williamson, who was named a first team NJCAA All-American and the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference Player of the Year. Williamson was one of four players to move on to the Division I level from CSC, including Steve Horton (Ball State), Jarelle Redden (Ball State) and T.K. Washington (Detroit). In addition, the school produced four all-conference and three all-district honorees. Martin jumped into the coaching ranks at Jacobs Center High in Cincinnati, where he served as the junior varsity coach and assistant varsity coach from 2003-04. A standout power forward, Martin was a twoyear lettermen and one-year starter for Huggins at Cincinnati from 1991-93. He signed with TCU out of high school and redshirted as a true freshman in

In his senior year, Martin guided Cincinnati to the NCAA tournament where the fourth-ranked Bearcats lost in overtime to eventual national champion North Carolina in the East Regional finals. The team’s leading rebounder (6.7 rpg) and second-leading scorer (13.5 ppg), Martin led the Great Midwest conference in field goal percentage (60.3) en route to being named to the all-conference second team. He was a member of the league’s all-tournament squad after guiding Cincinnati to its second straight title with a combined 36 points and 20 rebounds in just two contests. Martin continued his stellar performance in the NCAA tournament, where he was named to the East Regional alltournament team after averaging 17.5 points and 9.3 rebounds while shooting 57.4 percent from the floor in UC’s four NCAA tournament games.

THE BIG EAST CONFERENCE
ith 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST Conference continues on a path of success in and out of the athletic arena. The goals have always been the same. The league wants and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship. The commendable performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’s proud tradition of success. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic year will mark the conference’s fifth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference. In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again succeeded on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its sixth national championship by defeating conference foe Louisville in an all-BIG EAST NCAA title game. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA championship game and the Syracuse field hockey squad advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Three BIG EAST women’s cross country teams finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships. West Virginia was fourth followed by Villanova in sixth place and Georgetown in ninth.

Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s Dannette Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Connecticut’s Maya Moore was the conference’s sixth winner of the Wade Trophy as the top player in women’s basketball. Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks won the Hermann Trophy, the top award in women’s soccer. On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova advanced to the Final Four in basketball. The 2008-09 campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball season in the history of the BIG EAST with the league setting NCAA standards with three No. 1 tournament seeds, four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and five in the Sweet 16. The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup before losing in the national semifinals. BIG EAST football has maintained its high profile and its reputation as a balanced group. Seven of the league’s eight squads were nationally ranked or received votes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnati was the league champion. The BIG EAST, a charter member of the Bowl Championship Series, has won three of its last four BCS bowl games. West Virginia, Louisville and Connecticut also have won or shared league crowns over the past four seasons. The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-athletes who were at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST players were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams, including eight first-team selections. Nearly 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 34 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one fourth of all television households in the U.S. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 26 national championships in six different sports and 126 student-athletes have won individual national titles. The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball success, especially in this decade. In 2008-09, the BIG EAST produced four of the eight Final Four teams in men’s and women’s basketball. It was only the second time in NCAA history that one conference placed that many Final Four teams in the same season. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 11 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken six of the last 10 NCAA titles.

THE BIG EAST CONFERENCE Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which will increase its total to 24 sport championships. The first women’s golf championship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful organization has been fortunate to have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he
administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one significant change. Tranghese stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has served as senior associate commissioner, has moved into the Commissioner’s chair. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past six years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned All America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals in each of the last six summer Olympiads. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 athletes.

A 54-point outburst in the second half allowed West Virginia to run away with a 92-47 victory over Elon in the 2008-09 opener at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers out-rebounded the Phoenix 38-22, including a 12-5 advantage in offensive rebounds. WVU also shot an impressive 34-of-58 (58.6 percent) from the floor, while Elon was 16-of-44 (36.4 percent). Senior Alex Ruoff and junior Da’Sean Butler led WVU with 19 points apiece. Butler was also the team’s leading rebounder, grabbing six boards to go along with his 8-of-13 shooting performance. Another key to the Mountaineers’ season-opening win was their bench, which outscored the Phoenix 33-7. Darryl “Truck” Bryant had 12 points, including 2-for-2 from the 3-point line, and Kevin Jones added nine points to lead WVU off the bench. WVU was 10-of-17 from the 3-point line (58.8 percent) and forced 24 turnovers. Butler and Ruoff also led the Mountaineers with six steals apiece, while Wellington Smith registered two blocks to help make his presence felt on the defensive end. The Mountaineers extended their 11-point halftime lead to 20 on Butler’s 3-pointer with 12:48 left in the second half. A 29-5 run ensued, capped by a 3 from the right wing by freshman Devin Ebanks to make it 80-41 with 5:29 remaining. Another 3-pointer by Bryant created a 40-point margin for WVU at the 4:51 mark. Bryant also made an acrobatic drive in transition earlier in the half when he faked a pass to his right and delivered on a difficult finish with his left hand.

Recap
West Virginia defeated Longwood, 86-54, in its first game of the Las Vegas Invitational at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers were led by the play of Darryl “Truck” Bryant, who provided another double-figure scoring effort off the bench. The Brooklyn, N.Y., resident totaled 16 points on 4-of-6 shooting, including 2-of-2 from 3-point range. Senior Alex Ruoff contributed 12 points, shooting 5-of-12 from the floor. He also added seven rebounds, while Da’Sean Butler also chipped in with 12 points, going 3-of-6 from the floor in 25 minutes of action. WVU shot well for the second straight contest, going 26-of56 shooting (46.4 percent). The Mountaineers used plenty of ball pressure to coax the Lancers into shooting 30.4 percent from the field. Scoring from inside was not a problem for WVU, which totaled 32 points in the paint. Wellington Smith and John Flowers added eight points apiece, and Devin Ebanks finished with seven. The Mountaineers outrebounded Longwood by a 2-to-1 ratio, finishing with 54 boards while the Lancers mustered 27 rebounds. WVU, however, was bitten by 23 turnovers, but was able to force 21 Lancer turnovers. Jonnie West chipped in five points, all in the second half. WVU amassed 48 second half points. Joe Mazzulla added eight points and dished out a team-high four assists in 23 minutes of play. WVU overcame a sluggish start to end the first half on an offensive flurry, taking a 43-19 lead at halftime. The Mountaineer defense stifled Longwood, holding the Lancers to 7-of-25 shooting (28 percent), while WVU shot 50 percent (15-30) through the first 20 minutes. The Mountaineers managed to hold Longwood without a field goal for the game’s first 7:56 until Jeffrey Ryan scored on a layup to make it 11-3.

Sophomore John Flowers came off the bench to score 14 points and grab eight rebounds to lead six double-figure scorers in West Virginia’s 87-68 victory over Iowa in the third game of the Las Vegas Invitational at the Orleans Arena in downtown Las Vegas. “We played pretty hard most of the game and I think at the end our rebounding kept the spread for us because we weren’t making any shots,” said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins. Flowers scored all 14 of his points from the floor on 7-of-8 shooting; Flowers was 0-for-7 from the free throw line. Had West Virginia converted at least half of its missed free throws in the second half the final margin could have easily been 25 points or more. Joe Mazzulla had his best offensive game of the year scoring 13 points and handing out six assists, matching Alex Ruoff’s 13 points on four 3-point field goals and 1-of-2 from the free throw line. Da’Sean Butler contributed 12 and Wellington Smith and Truck Bryant scored 10 each for the Mountaineers. West Virginia used an early 20-0 run to turn an 11-9 deficit into a commanding 29-11 lead and never looked back. The Mountaineers forced 17 first-half Iowa turnovers, turning those into 29 points in rolling up a 48-29 halftime lead. Both teams in the second half were plagued by fouls, missed free throws and turnovers. West Virginia was 10-of-12 from the foul line in the first half but finished the game 15-of-34. Anthony Tucker led Iowa with a game-high 24 points on 6-of- 9 from 3-point range. Jake Kelly scored 15 and Jeff Peterson added 11. The Hawkeyes shot 54 percent for the game, a shade below West Virginia’s 55.4 percent field goal percentage.

Jodie Meeks scored 19 points and Patrick Patterson added 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead Kentucky to a 54-43 come-frombehind victory over West Virginia in the championship game of the Las Vegas Invitational at the Orleans Arena in downtown Las Vegas. Meeks got 12 of his 19 points from the free throw line and the Wildcats cashed in on 23-of-25 from the line in a rough, physical game that kept officials busy. A total of 41 fouls were called on both teams with West Virginia being whistled for 24. West Virginia controlled play for the first 25 minutes of the game before hitting a cold spell. The Mountaineers made just three field goals in more than 13 minutes of play, and did not make a field goal during the remaining 7:12 of the game. “We had great shots and we didn’t make any,” Huggins said. West Virginia’s big guns Alex Ruoff and Da’Sean Butler were a combined 5-of-22 from the floor with Ruoff going 1-of-10 from behind the 3-point arc. West Virginia was 5-of-19 from the floor in the second half and finished the game 15-of-49 overall for 30.6 percent. Patrick Patterson and Josh Harrellson had double-doubles; Harrellson came off the bench to add 12-points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats. In the early going West Virginia’s half-court pressure was giving Kentucky great difficulty. The Mountaineers used a Truck Bryant 3, a Butler free throw and a pretty Ruoff feed to Flowers on the break to build a 26-16 lead. Three times West Virginia led by 12 at 28-16, 30-18 and finally at 32-20 before the Mountaineers went cold. Kentucky was the biggest beneficiary of the whistle, cashing in on 17-of17 from the free throw line in the second half. Kentucky had a 36-26 advantage on the glass against the Mountaineers to compensate for a 23-16 disadvantage in turnovers. Ruoff was the only WVU player to reach double figures with 10.

Recap
West Virginia was able to overcome another horrible night at the charity stripe to edge Ole Miss 80-78 in Oxford, Miss. Actually, it was Mississippi’s Chris Warren, a 91-percent free throw shooter, who missed a critical one-and-one with 25 seconds left and the Rebels leading by one that opened the door for the Mountaineers. West Virginia’s Alex Ruoff was fouled by Deaundre Cranston with 18 seconds left and he made both free throws to put WVU back in the lead, 79-78. After a Mississippi timeout, Warren had the basketball knocked off his leg by Joe Mazzulla to give the ball back to West Virginia with 7.8 seconds remaining. Huggins called timeout to get free throw shooters Josh Sowards and Jonnie West into the game and draw up a play underneath Mississippi’s basket. Sowards got the inbounds pass and nearly got the ball to a wide open West for a lay up but he was fouled with 6.1 seconds remaining by Terrico White. Sowards made one of two, giving Mississippi an opportunity to either tie the game with a basket or win it with a 3. Once again the ball was in Warren’s hands for the final play of the game and his difficult 3-point try well behind the arc missed everything as the clock expired. The Mountaineers missed eight first-half free throw attempts that could have extended their 40-33 halftime lead. West Virginia finished the game 16-of-33 from the free throw line after hitting just 25-of-51 free throw attempts in two games in Las Vegas. The Mountaineers had a 36-28 edge on the glass against Mississippi.
Notebook

Recap
Stephen Curry overcame a poor shooting night by making shots when they counted most, scoring 27 points on 9-of-27 shooting to lead the No. 23-rated Wildcats to a 68-65 comefrom-behind victory over West Virginia in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden. During a five-minute stretch Curry scored all 13 points for Davidson, including back-to-back 3s to turn a 62-58 West Virginia advantage into a 64-62 Wildcat lead. Curry added two more from the free throw line with 18 seconds left. “The kid makes two incredible shots to beat us,” said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins. “I don’t care who you are, those are hard shots. He didn’t shoot the ball that well. We guarded him and we bothered him. For him to step up and make those shots at the end of the game … he’s a great player.” John Flowers made a twisting 3 from the corner with 3.8 seconds left to pull West Virginia to within two, 67-65. Bryant Barr was fouled on the inbound pass and converted the first of two free throws; his missed second free throw try gave the Mountaineers a desperation attempt from half court to tie the game that Devin Ebanks missed off the top of the glass. West Virginia was severely undermanned. Alex Ruoff was a late scratch with back spasms and Joe Mazzulla tried to go after missing the Cleveland State game with a shoulder injury sustained at Mississippi. But Mazzulla played just six minutes before giving way to Truck Bryant. For most of the second half the Mountaineers played with three freshmen – Bryant, Ebanks and Kevin Jones - and eventually were able to overcome an 11-point Davidson lead to make it 52-51. West Virginia relied solely on Butler in the second half for offense and the junior finished with a career high 24 points to go with 14 rebounds. Ebanks scored 13 points and grab 17 rebounds, while Cam Thoroughman pulled down eight rebounds to help the Mountaineers to a 58-32 advantage on the glass. Twenty five of those rebounds came on the offensive end.

A strong second half defensive performance propelled West Virginia to a 53-43 victory over Cleveland State at the WVU Coliseum. After a poor first half of play, the Mountaineers executed their game plan much better in the second half. WVU suffocated the Vikings with its man-to-man pressure, forcing CSU to commit 21 turnovers while holding the Vikings to 33.3 percent shooting. Da’Sean Butler paced WVU with 18 points on 7-of-16 shooting, leading the Mountaineers in scoring for the second straight contest. Devin Ebanks put forth a workmanlike doubledouble effort, tallying 10 points along with a game-high 17 rebounds. WVU received contributions from almost its entire bench with as many as 12 players seeing some action. Starting point guard Joe Mazzulla was held out of the game after sustaining a bruised shoulder at Ole Miss. Starting in Mazzulla’s place was freshman Truck Bryant, who played just 12 minutes, scoring three points and committing three turnovers. The Mountaineers were able to cash in from the free throw line in the second half, making 15-of-18 from the charity to help extend their lead and counter their 29 percent second-half shooting. The Mountaineers were a season-best 15-of-21 (71.4 percent) overall from the line. WVU also scored nearly half of its points off turnovers, getting 24 off Viking miscues. Defensively, WVU recorded 10 blocked shots. John Flowers led with four swats in 16 minutes of action, while Ebanks followed with two blocks and three steals. WVU took its second lead of the game with 17:15 left when Jonnie West hit a momentum-changing 3-pointer from the left baseline, giving the Mountaineers a 30-28 advantage. They followed with a 19-8 run, reaching a double-digit lead with 5:48 remaining when Ruoff’s free throw put WVU ahead by 10.

Recap
Freshman Truck Bryant scored 18 points and made six key free throws late in the second half to help West Virginia defeat Duquesne 68-63 at the A.J. Palumbo Center in Pittsburgh. West Virginia was once again without its starting backcourt of Alex Ruoff and Joe Mazzulla, who are both nursing injuries. For the second straight game West Virginia coach Bob Huggins used a starting lineup that included John Flowers at forward and Truck Bryant at point guard, with Da’Sean Butler moving into the backcourt with Bryant. In the first half West Virginia had trouble making shots and fell behind by double figures to Duquesne. But the Mountaineers were able to get a clutch basket from Wellington Smith right before the end of the half to cut Duquesne’s lead to eight and the Mountaineers used a smothering defense to force Duquesne to miss its first 13 field goal attempts of the second half. West Virginia built its lead to six and then to nine points before the Dukes used a full-court press to score seven straight points to reduce West Virginia’s lead to two. A key basket in the game came with 1:22 remaining when Butler managed to hit a jumper to put the Mountaineers back up by four. Leading by four with 16 seconds left, Bryant converted a pair of free throws. Devin Ebanks hit another pair with 10 seconds remaining and Bryant iced the game with two more with 0.8 seconds left on the clock. West Virginia had a 53-31 advantage on the glass against Duquesne and has grabbed 55 offensive rebounds in its last two games. The Mountaineers shot just 37.1 percent from the floor including a frigid 13 percent (3 of 23) from 3-point range.

Alex Ruoff scored a career-high 38 points that also included a school-record nine 3-point field goals in West Virginia’s 89-54 victory over Radford at the WVU Coliseum. It took the Mountaineers nearly 15 minutes before separating themselves from the 3-9 Highlanders. At halftime, West Virginia led 37-24 and 15 of those 37 points came from Ruoff on 5-of-8 from behind the 3-point arc.

The thought coming into this game was the first team to score 50 points wins. Well, West Virginia nearly had that by halftime as the Mountaineers rolled to 82-46 victory over Miami University at the WVU Coliseum. West Virginia shot 58.1 percent in the first half to build a 4717 halftime advantage over a RedHawk team that came into the game with an RPI of 22 with losses to just UCLA, Pitt and Xavier. Miami committed 15 first-half turnovers that led to 26 points with the Mountaineers scoring 15 straight at one point to put the game out of reach. West Virginia was without starting point guard Joe Mazzulla, who is nursing a shoulder injury, and starting forward Devin Ebanks was limited to just 11 minutes with knee and ankle injuries sustained in practice a day before. Da’Sean Butler poured in a career-high 28 points including his 1,000th career point and Alex Ruoff made his return after a 14-day absence with 15 points and eight assists. Truck Bryant scored 16 and has reached double figures in eight of the first 10 games of his college career. Miami’s Michael Bramos, who came into the game averaging 20.2 points per game including four straight games of scoring 26 or more points, was held to six points below his season’s average on 5-of-13 shooting. The RedHawks committed 26 turnovers and the Mountaineers turned that into 38 fast break points. West Virginia found its shooting touch from 3-point distance, hitting 12-of-30 for the game including 5-of-7 from Butler and 4-of-5 from Bryant. The Mountaineers had 20 assists on 31 baskets and finished the game 31 of 62 from the floor for 50 percent.

Recap
West Virginia held 15th-ranked Ohio State to 20 second-half points in a runaway 76-48 victory over the Buckeyes at Value City Arena in Columbus. The Mountaineers completely dominated a Buckeye team that came into the game with the nation’s longest winning streak at 14 and winners of 65 of their last 67 in Columbus against nonranked teams. OSU also was working on a 12-game home winning streak and was 42-4 at the VCA while ranked in the Top 25. Alex Ruoff scored 17 points to lead four West Virginia doublefigure scorers. Da’Sean Butler contributed 16 points, Truck Bryant scored 11 and Devin Ebanks added 10. The Mountaineers went on their big run in the second half when Butler was on the bench after picking up his fourth foul. Williams Buford and Jeremie Simmons scored 11 points each, while Evan Turner scored 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Ohio State. Touted 7-foot Buckeye center B.J. Mullens finished the game 1- of-5 from the floor for four points. Ohio State was a frigid 7-of-27 shooting (25.9 percent) in the second half and finished the game shooting only 31 percent. The Mountaineers were much better close to the basket, hitting 31-of-65 overall for 47.7 percent. Behind the 3-point arc West Virginia was only 4-of-20. WVU also beat Ohio State on the glass, 42-38, and forced 12 Buckeye turnovers. Ohio State played before its first sellout crowd of the season at 19,000-seat Value City Arena. Most of them left midway through the second half as WVU expanded its lead to more than 25 points.

• West Virginia’s 28-point win was a school record for the widest margin of victory on the road against a ranked team. It topped the Mountaineers’ 25-point triumph at No. 6 NYU on Jan. 3, 1952. WVU downed No. 24 Temple by 30 points in the 1998 NCAA Tournament in Boise, Idaho. • The win was the biggest margin of victory over a ranked team during Huggins’ long coaching career. The previous best was 26 points in an 81-55 win at Louisville on Jan. 21, 1999. • The last time Ohio State lost to an unranked non-conference opponent was during the 1981 season when Ohio State dropped a 76-67 decision to South Alabama on Dec. 16, 1980.

Recap
West Virginia used 18 points each from Da’Sean Butler and Alex Ruoff to defeat Seton Hall, 92-66, in the Mountaineers’ BIG EAST opener at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Ruoff scored his team-high-tying 18 points while taking just six shots. Ruoff had an efficient stat line that included 4-of-6 from the floor, 2-of-4 from 3, 8-of-8 from the foul line with four assists and a pair of steals. West Virginia worked Seton Hall over on the glass, particularly in the second half when it built its lead to 20 after the Pirates closed to eight with 7:44 remaining on a Jeremy Hazell lay up. John Flowers answered with a put-back basket, another offensive board led to a Ruoff 3 and Da’Sean Butler’s offensive rebound resulted in a Devin Ebanks basket. West Virginia finished the game with 15 offensive rebounds and had a 39-28 overall advantage on the back board. Flowers gave the Mountaineers a big lift off the bench when Wellington Smith got into early foul trouble. Flowers wound up playing 26 minutes, scoring 14 points, pulling down seven rebounds and making three steals. Flowers was also 4-of-4 from the free throw line after coming into the game shooting just 24 percent. Kevin Jones also provided quality minutes off the bench scoring 12 points and grabbing five rebounds in 13 minutes. Late in the first half Seton Hall reduced West Virginia’s lead to three, 34-31, after a Eugene Harvey free throw with 1:57 remaining. But the Mountaineers got two from Flowers on a pretty assist by Thoroughman and a pair of stick backs by Ebanks and Jones pushed the lead back out to nine at halftime. Ebanks finished the game with 10 points and nine rebounds while Truck Bryant added 10 points and committing just one turnover against Seton Hall’s full-court pressure. Overall, the Mountaineers shot 53.6 percent (32-of-60) including 8 of 18 from 3-point range. West Virginia was also 20-of25 (80 percent) from the free throw line.

Recap
No. 5 Connecticut’s inside game was just too powerful for No. 25 West Virginia in Morgantown. The Huskies got 17 points from Jeff Adrien and 13 points and 13 rebounds from 7-foot-3-inch center Hasheem Thabeet to pull out a 61-55 victory over the Mountaineers. Stanley Robinson grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds as Connecticut dominated the glass with 52 rebounds – 20 of which were offensive. “They are a foot taller than we are,” said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins. “I told you guys for the last three-four weeks that we’re getting unbelievable mileage out of three freshmen. I told you before the game that now we’re playing against men - 22-year-old guys who are a lot bigger and stronger, but we competed.” UConn’s work in the paint offset an off-shooting night from Husky guard A.J. Price, who went 0-9, and Connecticut was 21-of53 overall for 39.6 percent. West Virginia was worse, hitting 20 of its 66 shot attempts for 30.6 percent. The Mountaineers tried 26 3s, making only six for 23.1 percent. Despite a cold shooting night, West Virginia used tough half court defense to stick with the Huskies by forcing 18 turnovers. After Wellington Smith’s deep 3 tied the game just before the halftime buzzer, the two teams played a see-saw second half, trading leads until a pair of free throws by Truck Bryant and a fastbreak dunk by Smith gave the Mountaineers a four-point lead. Jim Calhoun immediately called a 30-second timeout and UConn responded with five straight points to retake the lead, 45-44. Da’Sean Butler’s 3-point basket gave the Mountaineers their final lead of the game at 47-45; Connecticut answered with seven straight points to take its biggest lead of five points with 6:02 remaining. Trailing 56-51, West Virginia got a driving layup from Cam Thoroughman and a pair of free throws by Bryant to pull within one, 56-55, with 2:27 remaining. Despite open looks, the Mountaineers could not connect down the stretch, missing all five shot attempts. There were 12 lead changes and eight ties for the game.

Recap
Jerel McNeal scored 26 points and Dominic James added 17 points and seven assists to lead No. 18 Marquette to a 75-53 victory over No. 25 West Virginia at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee. Marquette took control of the game when West Virginia’s Da’Sean Butler went to the bench with his fourth foul with 16:37 to go and the Mountaineers leading 35-33. Butler returned to the floor with 7:04 left and picked up his fifth foul 48 seconds later climbing Dwight Burke’s back on James’ miss. After Butler picked up his fourth foul, the Golden Eagles scored eight straight points to take a 40-35 lead; West Virginia answered with six straight to retake the lead on a Kevin Jones basket. WVU trailed 51-48 when Marquette used a 10-0 run to build a 13-point margin with 5:21 remaining. West Virginia managed just two field goals over the final 7:58 to endure its worst loss of the season. Marquette, missing 16 of its first 19 field goal attempts to start the game, finished 23 of 56 overall for 41.1 percent. The Golden Eagles shot 52 percent in the second half. Marquette took advantage of the Mountaineers at the free throw line, making 24 of 27 compared to West Virginia’s 6 of 10 from the line. The Golden Eagles also had a 37-35 edge on the glass, including grabbing 12 offensive rebounds. Butler scored all of his 16 points in the first half while Alex Ruoff finished with 13 points on 4 of 12 shooting. Ruoff had to play point guard for a good portion of the game. Bryant drew two quick charging fouls and was relegated to the bench. The Mountaineers had six fouls by the first media timeout, but were able to avoid getting Marquette into the bonus until 6:58 remaining. Comfortably ahead by 17 points with two minutes remaining, Marquette continued on with its starters getting driving lay ups by James and McNeal, and a late 3 from James with 24 seconds left to turn the game into a 22-point rout.
Notebook
• West Virginia’s biggest lead was eight, 21-13, following a Ruoff 3 and led 31-29 at halftime after Da’Sean Butler sank a step-back 3 just ahead of the halftime horn. • The loss was West Virginia’s first loss on the road this season. WVU entered the game with a 4-0 road record.

Recap
Notebook
• West Virginia’s 11-point victory was just the second time in the last 11 meetings the winning team has won by more than six points. • The Mountaineers are 14-4 against Marshall since the game was moved to Charleston on an annual basis. West Virginia has now won the last three meetings in the series. • A total of 106 fouls have been called in the last two Capital Classic games with the two teams shooting a combined 129 free throws. • West Virginia improved to 53-19 all-time at the Charleston Civic Center and 61-21 all-time in Charleston.
Recap
West Virginia overcame a tough second half to squeak by USF, 62-59, at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers were outscored 39-28 in the final 20 minutes, but held on to the lead thanks to some key plays by sophomore forward John Flowers. Two free throws by USF guard Dominique Jones, who scored a game-high 35 points, allowed the Bulls to trim their once-double-digit deficit to 55-54 with 2:47 remaining. Two possessions later, Flowers, who already owns one clutch 3-point shot on the season at Ole Miss, was wide open on the left wing after Da’Sean Butler was double-teamed and drilled a 3 with two minutes left to extend WVU’s lead to 58-54. WVU stopped the Bulls on their next possession and Alex Ruoff made 1-of-2 free throws to make it 59-54. USF’s Aris Williams then proceeded to drive in for a layup to keep the game at one possession. After Ruoff’s two free throws extended WVU’s lead to 61-56, Jones once again hurt the Mountaineers with a 3-pointer from the right wing with 10 seconds left. Wellington Smith then made 1-of-2 free throws, but Jones was forced into a tough game-tying shot by Ruoff from beyond the arc as time expired. Butler led WVU with 27 points on 9-of-16 shooting. Ruoff followed with 19 points on 5-of-11 shooting, as both veterans combined for nearly 75 percent of WVU’s points. The game was certainly a defensive battle. WVU shot 36.4 percent (20-of-55) from the floor while the Bulls managed to shoot 38.5 percent (20-of-52). The Mountaineers were outrebounded 38-35, but took good care of the ball by having only eight turnovers. WVU also capitalized on USF turnovers, registering a 15-4 advantage in points off of turnovers. Devin Ebanks led WVU with a game-high 10 rebounds, while Flowers and Smith finished with five boards apiece.
Notebook
• Jones’ 35 points at the WVU Coliseum were the highest by an opposing player since former Georgetown Hoya Mike Sweetney scored 35 in Morgantown on Jan. 12, 2003. • West Virginia has committed only 24 turnovers in its four BIG EAST meetings against USF. • WVU has won all four BIG EAST meetings against USF.

West Virginia made a season-high 30 foul shots to defeat Marshall 87-76 in the 2008 Chesapeake Energy Capital Classic in Charleston. Fifty-four fouls and a shot-clock malfunction before the start of the second half tacked on an extra 45 minutes to the game. The two teams played the second half without a shot clock, requiring the Civic Center public address announcer to call out time intervals. After leading by 11 at halftime, West Virginia came out and hit three consecutive 3s to build a 43-23 lead. From there Marshall spent the rest of the game chasing the Mountaineers. Marshall’s two best inside players spent a good portion of the second half on the bench, Tyler Wilkerson with foul trouble and Markel Humphrey after losing his tooth when Wellington Smith’s elbow caught Humphrey in the mouth while following through on a jump shot. Freshman Truck Bryant recovered from a scoreless performance at Marquette by scoring a season-high 22 points to grab game MVP honors. Bryant was 3-of-3 from 3-point range and finished 11-of-15 from the free throw line. Da’Sean Butler contributed 17 points and seven rebounds and Alex Ruoff added 15 points and five assists. Devin Ebanks scored 12. West Virginia finished the game 26-of-49 from the floor for 53.1 percent. The Mountaineers were 30-of-42 from the free throw line and had a 35-30 advantage on the glass. Humphrey returned to the floor to score 13 points while Shaquille Johnson scored 15 for Marshall. Marshall recovered from a poor first-half shooting performance to shoot 46.5 percent for the game.

Recap
West Virginia got its biggest road win of the year in surprisingly easy fashion by routing 12th-ranked Georgetown, 75-58, at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. The Mountaineers used a strong second half and some clutch play from freshmen Darryl Bryant, Devin Ebanks and Kevin Jones. Jones only scored 4 points but two of them stopped a Georgetown second-half run that cut West Virginia’s 10-point lead to seven with 4:30 remaining. Jones’ pretty turnaround basket with 4:05 remaining was the beginning of a 12-3 run that pushed West Virginia’s lead to 16 with 1:20 left. Da’Sean Butler scored 15 of his game-high 27 points in the first half to help West Virginia overcome a 9-2 Georgetown lead to start the game. Butler canned 11-of-18 field goal attempts including 4-of-9 from 3-point distance. Butler also grabbed a team-high eight rebounds to help West Virginia post a 39-31 advantage on the glass. Sophomore John Flowers also grabbed eight rebounds including four offensive. Bryant added 13 points on 3-of-5 shooting from 3, while Alex Ruoff and Wellington Smith scored 10 points each. Ruoff handed out nine assists. For Georgetown, Chris Wright scored 13 and DaJuan Summers added 12, although Summers was just 4-of-14 from the floor. Six-ten freshman center Greg Monroe also struggled from the floor going 4-of-10 for 11 points.
Notebook
• West Virginia’s 17-point victory at Georgetown was just the second time since the Mountaineers joined the Big East in 1996 that they have managed a double-digit victory against the Hoyas on the road (69-56 in 2006). It is also the biggest road win at Georgetown since Feb. 11, 1935 when WVU routed the Hoyas by 22 points in Washington, D.C. • West Virginia has now had wins away from the Coliseum this year by 19 versus Iowa in Las Vegas, by 28 at Ohio State, by 26 at Seton Hall and now by 17 at Georgetown. • Georgetown had won 31 of its last 32 home games prior to West Virginia’s victory. • West Virginia’s 17-point win was John Thompson’s worst homedefeat since his first game at Georgetown in 2004.

Recap
A dominant second half by No. 4 Pitt stifled WVU’s quest to beat its second Top 25 opponent in a week as the Mountaineers fell to the Panthers, 79-67, in front of a boisterous sellout crowd of 14,329 at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers were outscored 40-30 in the second half, relying heavily on leading scorers Da’Sean Butler and Alex Ruoff to make offensive plays while allowing the Panthers to shoot 53.6 percent throughout the contest. Butler made a concerted effort to shoulder the scoring load, pouring in 21 points on 6-of-13 shooting after having back-toback 27-point affairs in victories over No. 12 Georgetown and USF. Ruoff followed with 16 points on 5-of-11 shooting, but found it difficult to knock down open looks from 3. The Mountaineers were 5-of-19 from long range, with Butler and Ruoff taking 12 of their 19 3-point attempts. After Butler’s 3-pointer from the left corner with 16:34 left in the game gave WVU a 45-43 advantage, the Panthers went on a 34-16 run over the next 14 minutes as Sam Young poured in 14 points. Young scored a game-high 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting, doing his biggest damage in the second half. Post player DeJuan Blair, one of the nation’s top rebounders, finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds. The Mountaineers were unable to collectively contribute on the offensive end compared to their 37-point output in the first half. WVU shot 39.1 percent in the game’s final 20 minutes, and finished at 41.1 percent (23-of-56) for the game. Six different scorers contributed in the first half, while Butler and Ruoff were two of only four players who found the bottom of the net in second half action.
• The Mountaineers’ bright spot on the afternoon came on the glass, as they outrebounded Pitt, 34-31. Da’Sean Butler led WVU with six boards, while Devin Ebanks finished with five and Wellington Smith followed with four. • Pitt has won five of the last six meetings against West Virginia. The Mountaineers lead the all-time series by a 93-83 margin.

Recap
A fine collective effort on the defensive end enabled WVU to defeat St. John’s, 75-52, at the WVU Coliseum. West Virginia proved why it boasts one of the top defenses in the Big East, holding the Red Storm to 36.7 percent shooting (18- of-49) while forcing 18 turnovers. WVU was effective at making St. John’s offensive miscues count, totaling 23 points off turnovers to help create easy buckets. Led by Da’Sean Butler and Alex Ruoff once again, the Mountaineers staved off the possibility of an untimely loss and protected their home court. Butler tallied 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting, including 5-of-7 from 3-point range. Ruoff also reached double figures, scoring 17 points on 7-of-17 shooting as he split time at point guard and shooting guard. The Spring Hill, Fla., resident grabbed six rebounds, dished out seven assists, and tallied four steals in a fine all-around performance. Devin Ebanks reeled in 10 points on 4-of-9 shooting while tallying a team-high eight boards. The freshman was efficient in WVU’s half court sets on offense and was one of several Mountaineers who smothered the Red Storm on defense. The Mountaineers led comfortably from the onset. In the second half, WVU heated up offensively and reached a 20-point margin with 14:17 left courtesy of two Ebanks free throws as a result of an intentional foul by the Red Storm’s Paris Horne. WVU outscored St. John’s, 39-32, in the final 20 minutes. With 6:17 left in the game, another Ebanks jumper gave WVU a comfortable 65-34 lead. Butler followed with another 3-pointer, and spark plug Kevin Jones made it 70-43 on a layup with three minutes left. Jones chipped in with eight points and six rebounds.
Jerry Smith scored 20 points and Terrence Jennings came off the bench to score 13 to lead No. 7 Louisville to a 69-63 victory over West Virginia at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky. The Cardinals remained undefeated in Big East play by using full-court pressure to rattle West Virginia’s young players and build a 45-25 halftime lead. West Virginia committed 14 of its 17 turnovers in the first half that led to several Louisville breakouts. In the second half West Virginia made a game of it and eventually whittled Louisville’s lead to four, 63-59, with 2:16 remaining on a Kevin Jones free throw. After a West Virginia time out and trailing by six, the Mountaineers got a wide open 3-point try that John Flowers missed that could have cut Louisville’s lead to three. Flowers had made 3s to help win games against Mississippi and USF. A fast break dunk by Jennings with 23 seconds left made it a three-possession game. West Virginia outscored the Cardinals 38-24 in the second half behind the improved play of Da’Sean Butler, who scored 19 of his game-high 23 points in the second half. Butler was just 1-of-3 shooting with four turnovers in the first half against Louisville’s pressure. Alex Ruoff scored 16 points on 5-of-9 shooting before fouling out with 14 seconds remaining. Ebanks had 14 points to go with six rebounds. Louisville shot 55.8 percent overall with Smith and Jennings making a combined 12 of 13. The Cardinals committed 26 turnovers. West Virginia shot 35.6 percent and finished the game with 17 turnovers. The Mountaineers had a 33-32 edge on the glass.

Recap
Notebook
• West Virginia fell to 16-30 all-time against Syracuse. The Orange has won nine of the last 10 meetings. • Since WVU joined the BIG EAST, Syracuse is 14-5 against the Mountaineers. • West Virginia is 3-20 at Syracuse and 1-8 in the Carrier Dome.
Recap
West Virginia’s hard-nosed defense and efficient offensive play led the Mountaineers to an 86-59 victory over Providence at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers snapped their two-game conference losing streak by getting back to basics on their home court as they held the high-scoring Friars to their second lowest scoring output of the season. Guard Alex Ruoff came out aggressively and led the Mountaineers with 24 points on 8-of-11 shooting. More importantly, the Spring Hill, Fla., native nailed 6-of-7 3-pointers, his best offensive output from outside the arc since draining nine treys in a 38-point effort against Radford on Dec. 23. Da’Sean Butler, who entered the contest averaging a teambest 17.9 points, finished with 17 points and a team-leading nine rebounds. Butler and Ruoff repeatedly made an array of inside and outside shots despite Butler seeing his six-game 20-point scoring streak come to an end. More impressively, Ruoff made the most of his opportunities at both point guard and shooting guard, dishing out a game-high six assists, registering four steals and grabbing five boards. Devin Ebanks also notched double figures, scoring 13 points and grabbing six boards as he created space in the Friars’ half court zone by driving aggressively to the basket. Darryl “Truck” Bryant added 10 points in 22 minutes. A lay up by Weyinimi Efejuku with 11:02 left allowed the Friars to creep within 11 points at 55-44, but the Mountaineers countered with a crucial 10-2 run over the next three minutes, capped by Butler’s 3-pointer with 8:39 left to give WVU a 64-46 advantage. The Mountaineers continued to execute on offense. A difficult transition layup by Bryant extended their lead to 72-48, and Jonnie West’s 3-pointer with 24 seconds created the final score while giving WVU its largest lead at 27 points.
Notebook
• Providence’s 59 points were 21 points below its season average of 80.2 points per game. WVU forced 19 turnovers and limited the Friars to only 21 of 56 from the field (37.5 percent) - far below their 45.3 percent average. • Providence has not scored 60 points against WVU in three consecutive games. • WVU has won five in a row and nine of 10 vs. Providence.

No. 20 Syracuse got 22 points each from guards Eric Devendorf and Jonny Flynn to defeat West Virginia 74-61 at the Carrier Dome. Devendorf was 9-of-18 shooting and Flynn made 7-of-13 as the Orange shot 46.9 percent for the game. Syracuse had a 46-35 advantage on the glass and held West Virginia to just 35.8 percent shooting. “It’s hard to come in here and shoot 35 percent and win,” said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins. “I think the disappointing thing for me was we didn’t get the loose balls. We weren’t the aggressor the way we need to be. We can’t be like them because they are better than we are.” Forward Paul Harris scored 14 points and grabbed a gamehigh 13 rebounds. Forward Arinze Onuaku, slowed recently with a knee injury, managed to play 18 minutes and scour four points and grab six rebounds. Trailing by 20 with 10 minutes in the game, West Virginia battled back to cut Syracuse’s lead to nine with 3:07 remaining. “We got it to nine and Da’ misses two free throws. Then we got it to 10 and we missed not one, but two follow shots from two feet,” Huggins said. “A lot of that is we’re undersized and I understand that, but if you’re going to win you’ve got to make two-footers.” Thirteen of West Virginia’s 24 field goals came from Da’Sean Butler and Alex Ruoff. The rest of the team went a combined 11-of- 36.

Recap
Sam Young scored 20 points to lead No. 4-ranked Pitt to a 70-59 victory over West Virginia at the Petersen Events Center. The Panthers improved to 22-2, 9-2 by consistently beating the Mountaineers on the backboard to a 16-rebound advantage (39-23). Pitt shot 48.1 percent with Young making 7-of-12 shots. In two games against West Virginia this year Young has scored 42 points. DeJuan Blair played just 16 minutes due to early foul trouble, finishing with just eight points and nine rebounds. West Virginia’s top two scorers Da’Sean Butler and Alex Ruoff didn’t finish the game, both fouling out. Butler was 2-of-12 shooting for 4 points – 14 points below his season’s average. “It’s hard to get anything going without those two guys on the floor,” said Huggins. “Da’ was never in rhythm – he just went way too fast. Give them credit because they had something to do with that.” Ruoff scored 17 points on 4-of-9 shooting before exiting with 7:18 to go in the second half. Freshman Devin Ebanks scored 16 points and grabbed seven of West Virginia’s 23 rebounds. The Mountaineers shot 40.4 percent and struggled to get off good shots against a Panther team that had given up 80, 72 and 69 points in their last three games. “Percentage wise we are the worst field goal shooting team in the Big East,” Huggins said. “We’ve survived because we’ve really guarded and because we’ve rebounded the ball. “Our defense was good enough to win – our offense wasn’t,” Huggins said. “Nobody has ever won 0-0. You’ve got to score the ball.” Levance Fields scored 13 points for Pitt, which sweeps the season series against West Virginia for the fourth time since 2002.

West Virginia defeated No. 13 Villanova, 93-72, on a nationally-televised Friday night Big East contest at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers shot 50 percent from the floor and were led by Da’Sean Butler’s career-high 43-points. The Newark, N.J., resident made 12-of-23 shots, including 6-of-13 3-pointers. Devin Ebanks followed with one of his best performances of the season. The freshman from Long Island City, N.Y., recorded a double-double with 16 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Chipping in with nine points apiece were John Flowers and Darryl “Truck” Bryant. WVU halted Villanova’s six-game winning streak. The Wildcats entered the contest averaging 98.3 points in their last three games. Leading scorers Scottie Reynolds and Dante Cunningham were held to a combined 19 points. One of the conference’s best teams on the glass, WVU won the rebounding battle, 37-31. Its ability to garner 15 second-chance points was a result of several key offensive rebounds by Ebanks, Wellington Smith and Kevin Jones. The Wildcats were held to 42.3 percent shooting, suffering their worst loss of the season to an energized WVU squad. The Mountaineers also capitalized on plenty of Villanova’s miscues, scoring 20 points off 16 Wildcat turnovers. Villanova nearly made things interesting in the second half, creeping to within 13, 54-41, with 16:06 left. WVU answered with a fall-away 3-pointer by Bryant, and two of Butler’s 13 made free throws to increase its lead to 19 with 12:23 remaining. After WVU stretched its advantage to 22 points with 9:21 left Villanova went on a 9-0 run after Shane Clark’s fast-break lay up once again cut it to 13. WVU shot a torrid 58.5 percent in the first half, jumping out to a 52-34 lead. Butler posted 24 points while Ebanks went perfect from the field (5-of-5) to lead WVU’s marksmanship offense.

Recap
West Virginia smothered Notre Dame in the second half to record an important 79-68 victory at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers went back over .500 in conference play by clamping down on the Irish in the second half by using a manto-man and 1-3-1 zone defense. WVU bothered the free-flowing Fighting Irish, which shot only 33.3 percent (8-of-24) in the game’s final 20 minutes. Stepping up for WVU was senior Alex Ruoff, who totaled 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting. It was Ruoff who shouldered the scoring load in the first half as the Mountaineers got behind by 10 early. Four double-figure scorers helped guide the Mountaineers to their fourth-straight home victory. Junior Da’Sean Butler poured in 19 points and matched Ruoff for the team lead with four assists. Freshman Devin Ebanks continued his solid play, tallying 11 points and nine rebounds. One of the biggest factors in WVU’s win was the hustle of freshman Kevin Jones. The freshman from Mount Vernon, N.Y., came off the bench to score 12 points and grab a team-high 10 boards in 24 minutes. As a team, the Mountaineers dominated on the glass against the perimeter-oriented Fighting Irish. WVU posted a 44-32 advantage overall, including a 17-7 edge in offensive rebounds. Its low-post dominance led to the Mountaineers scoring on 16 second chance points. Matched on conference leading scorer Luke Harangody for most of the contest, Wellington Smith put forth a workmanlike effort. The Summit, N.J., resident finished with eight points, seven boards, three assists and two blocks. An entertaining back-and-forth battle was waged in the first half, as the Mountaineers fought back to take a 42-40 lead at intermission. The Fighting Irish shot 56.7 percent while the Mountaineers overcame a sluggish start to end the half shooting 48.6 percent.

Recap
West Virginia did what it had to do and took care of business defeating Rutgers 74-56 at the RAC. West Virginia got 14 points and 11 rebounds from freshman Devin Ebanks to lead five-double figure scorers. “We got 12 offensive rebounds and we got zero in the first half. We get 12 offensive rebounds in the second half and that’s the ballgame,” Huggins said. “There were a couple times when they cut it to four and we missed a shot, got the offensive rebound, and put it back.” WVU led 37-25 at halftime before Rutgers came back to cut it to four, forcing Huggins to call timeout with 8:12 remaining. From that point, WVU used a 24-10 run to put Rutgers away. Wellington Smith hit two huge baskets to key the run and also got one of his game-high five blocks. He finished 5-of-11 shooting for 12 points. West Virginia’s top two scorers Da’Sean Butler and Alex Ruoff combined to score just 24 points on 9-of-21 shooting. That is nearly 13 points below their combined season scoring average. West Virginia shot 47.4 percent overall, including 7-of-17 from 3-point range for 41.2 percent. Rutgers shot 41.5 percent and committed 16 turnovers. Mike Rosario scored 15 and Gregory Echenique added 11 for the Scarlet Knights.

Recap
Alex Ruoff’s 16 points led four West Virginia double-figure scorers in the Mountaineers’ 64-50 victory over South Florida at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa. West Virginia used a 10-1 run at the beginning of the second half to break open a tight game. The Mountaineers had their biggest lead of the game with 9:29 remaining following a Ruoff jumper. “We were able to grind that one out,” said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins. “Getting them by 13 on the glass I guess was the key to the game.” West Virginia had a 38-25 advantage on the glass and held USF guard Dominique Jones to 18 points – 17 fewer than he got the last time the two teams played in Morgantown Jan. 17 when the Mountaineers held on for a three-point victory. Jones was 7-of-13 from the floor, but took 12 fewer shots than the first game. “I think he was looking for (shots). We were very conscious of where he was until the end and then in the end we gave him two wide-open looks at 3s,” Huggins said. “For the most part we were very help-conscious when he got the ball.” WVU got solid all-around games from freshmen Truck Bryant, Devin Ebanks and Kevin Jones. All three reached double figures with Bryant scoring 13, nine coming in the first half. Ebanks had 10 points and seven rebounds while Jones came off the bench to score 10 points and grab five boards. Da’Sean Butler led WVU with a game-high 12 rebounds, but managed to score just nine on 3-of-10 shooting. The Mountaineers shot 44.2 percent for the game (23-of-52) that included 35.3 percent (6-of-17) from 3-point range. West Virginia was 12-of-16 from the free throw line. South Florida shot 40 percent (20 of 50) from the field.

West Virginia simply did not have an answer for freshman center Yancy Gates, who scored a career-high 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to ruin Bob Huggins’ Cincinnati homecoming with a 65-61 Bearcat victory on ESPN. Before the game, Cincinnati played a brief video tribute to Huggins, who led the Bearcats to 14 NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the Final Four in 1992. Cincinnati got a much-needed victory by holding West Virginia to just 33.3 percent shooting. The Mountaineers were 4-of-21 from 3-point range and their two top scorers – Da’Sean Butler and Alex Ruoff – made a combined 7-of-26 from the field. Ruoff finished with 18 points with 10 of those 18 coming from the free throw line. In the first half, West Virginia got its biggest lead of the game, 27-19, when Huggins switched to a 1-3-1 zone defense. A five-minute scoreless stretch by the Mountaineers allowed Cincinnati to retake the lead, 28-27. A technical foul called on Cincinnati’s Steve Toyloy for throwing an elbow led to a pair of Ruoff free throws to give West Virginia a 31-30 lead, and the Mountaineers led at halftime 33-32. After a Butler layup made it 35-32 to begin the second half, WVU missed 17 of its next 19 shots and that led a 19-7 Bearcat run and a nine-point lead. John Flowers finally snapped WVU’s 0-for-9 streak with a 3 to pull West Virginia to within six with 8:09 remaining. A pair of Devin Ebanks free throws and a dunk reduced the deficit to three, 57-54, forcing Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin to call timeout. A Wellington Smith layup with 2:15 to go and then two free throws by Ruoff tied the game at 60 with 1:45 left. Trailing 63-61, Ruoff missed an opportunity to give West Virginia the lead with 19 seconds left when he missed an open 3. Free throws by Vaughn and Yates iced the game for Cincinnati. Ebanks scored 12 points and grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds, while Kevin Jones came off the bench to contribute 12 points and five boards.

Recap
West Virginia reached the double-digit mark in BIG EAST victories by defeating DePaul, 82-63, at the WVU Coliseum. Alex Ruoff led WVU with 20 points on 6-of-15 shooting. The Spring Hill, Fla., native scored all his points from beyond the arc, nailing six 3-pointers to move into a tie for first place on the school’s all-time 3-point field goals list with former Mountaineer Kevin Pittsnogle at 253. Scoring was at a premium for WVU, which tied for its ninth highest point total of the season against the Blue Demons. The Mountaineers shot well as a team, making 32-of-70 shots (45.7 percent) as several players got involved in the scoring mix. Da’Sean Butler was one of five double-figure scorers for the Mountaineers. The versatile junior finished with a double-double at 16 points and 10 rebounds, while freshman Devin Ebanks followed with one of his own at 14 points and 14 boards. Kevin Jones had another strong performance in a span of 25 minutes off the bench. Jones tallied 13 points and nine boards as he found away to make a presence both inside the paint and with his improving mid-range game. The Mountaineers reigned on the glass once again, outrebounding the Blue Demons, 48-30. WVU also had a large edge in second chance points, winning the put-back battle, 17-4, which was aided by its 22 offensive rebounds. Continuing his stretch of solid play was Darryl “Truck” Bryant, who totaled 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting in 33 minutes. The freshman point guard also dished out six assists compared to just three turnovers. WVU held DePaul to just 33.3 percent shooting in the second half, but allowed guard Will Walker to score 31 points. WVU found it difficult to contain Walker in the first half. DePaul’s third-leading scorer notched 18 points, including 5-of-6 from 3-point range. Ruoff also used the long-range shot to his advantage, making four treys to help give the Mountaineers a 43-36 halftime lead. The Mountaineers, however, did manage to contain DePaul’s second-leading scorer in Mac Koshwal. The sophomore center, averaging 13.4 points per game, went scoreless for the first time this season against one of the league’s top defenses.

Recap
Alex Ruoff wouldn’t mind playing Notre Dame all of the time. Ruoff scored 24 points against the Irish last month, and he followed that up with 25 points to lead West Virginia to a 74-62 Big East Championship win in New York City. Da’Sean Butler scored 20 and freshman Truck Bryant added 17 points and four assists to help the Mountaineers advance to the quarterfinals. Overall, West Virginia didn’t shoot particularly well against the Irish, but the Mountaineers were 11-of-21 from 3 for 52.3 percent. WVU also got after Notre Dame on the glass, out-rebounding the Irish, 52-32. Devin Ebanks was the primary reason, pulling down a career-high 18 boards. West Virginia led wire to wire and built leads of 17-2, 23-6 and then 26-6 after a Bryant 3 with 7:12 remaining in the first half. The Mountaineers once more led by 20, 34-14, after another Bryant 3 with 3:23 to go. At halftime the Mountaineers led 36-18. The Irish’s 18 firsthalf points were the fewest in any half during Mike Brey’s Notre Dame coaching tenure. Notre Dame’s 12-3 run at the beginning of the second half cut its deficit to nine. West Virginia eventually answered with a 15-6 run to put the game away. The Mountaineers were able to overcome poor shooting nights from Butler, Ebanks and freshman Kevin Jones, the three combining to shoot just 10-of-27. Ruoff (6-of-13) and Bryant (6-of-9) managed to make up the difference. Luke Harangody scored 27 points (23 in the second half) and Kyle McAlarney added 17 for the Irish.

Terrence Williams scored 20 points to lead sixth-ranked Louisville to a 62-59 victory over West Virginia at the WVU Coliseum. Louisville led by as many as 10, 29-19, with 4:03 left in the first half on a Williams 3. Then, West Virginia ran off 10 straight points to tie it with 39 seconds left after Wellington Smith hit a baseline runner. Williams’ 3 from the top of the key gave Louisville a 32-29 halftime lead. The two teams spent most of the second half trading leads. The Cardinals were up 33-29 and then 38-34 before another Smith 3 pulled the Mountaineers to within one. A three-point play by Da’Sean Butler gave West Virginia back the lead at 41-40 with 12:56 left. The Mountaineers led 45-42 after a pair of Devin Ebanks free throws, but two WVU turnovers and a missed Ebanks layup led to six straight Louisville points. Once again West Virginia fought back to tie it at 48 on two Smith free throws, but Sosa answered with a 3 with 8:55 left to put the Cardinals back on top 51-48. A Butler jumper with 7:06 remaining gave the Mountaineers a 52-51 lead, and they led 54-52 following an Ebanks basket at 5:25. Then, West Virginia hit a critical stretch in the game with 4 ½ minutes to go when Earl Clark converted a 3 to put UofL up one, 55-54, and two WVU turnovers led to a Louisville basket and a free throw to give the Cardinals a four-point advantage. Two Ebanks free throws pulled WVU to within two, 58-56, with 2:33 remaining. A Ruoff steal gave the Mountaineers an opportunity to either tie or go ahead with 1:32 left, but the senior’s 3-point try at the top of the key hit the back of the rim. After a Louisville 30-second timeout, Jerry Smith knocked down a huge jumper to give the Cardinals a four-point lead with 59 seconds left. Freshmen Ebanks and Jones kept West Virginia in the game when the Mountaineers’ two key players Ruoff and Butler were struggling. Jones finished with a season-high 19 points and Ebanks had 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Devin Ebanks scored 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead West Virginia to a 74-60 victory over No. 2 Pitt in the Big East Championship quarterfinals in New York City. Ebanks established a season high in points against the Panthers after pulling down a season-high 18 rebounds in West Virginia’s 74-62 victory over Notre Dame one day before. The third installment of the “Backyard Brawl” moved to the Big Apple after Pitt registered double-digit wins over the Mountaineers during the regular season. Unlike the first two games, West Virginia found ways to score against Pitt’s defense and a 1-3-1 zone Huggins first employed against Notre Dame proved too difficult for the Panthers to solve. West Virginia’s length on the wings also bothered Pitt’s shooters, the Panthers making just eight field goals and shooting 34 percent in the second half. Pitt missed all eight of its 3-point field goal tries. The Mountaineers also benefited from DeJuan Blair getting into quick foul trouble after the Panthers took an early five-point lead. Blair was whistled for his second foul with four minutes gone in the game and Pitt leading 9-4. WVU went right to work with Blair on the bench, taking a 15-13 lead on a three-point play by Ebanks. The Mountaineers used a 9-3 run at the start of the second half to build their lead to eight, 45-37, and they got it to double digits at the 10-minute mark on back-to-back free throws by Ruoff and Ebanks. Da’Sean Butler’s 3 with 5:18 remaining gave West Virginia its biggest lead of the game at 68-53. The closest Pitt could get was eight when Blair’s layup with 1:56 left made it 68-60. The Mountaineers were 24-of-27 from the free throw line for 88.9 percent and shot 44 percent from the floor. West Virginia also beat Pitt on the glass, 33-27. Ruoff scored 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting and Butler contributed 16.
Notebook
• Pitt didn’t score a 3-point field goal against WVU, marking the first time that has happened since St. Bonaventure didn’t make a 3 on Jan. 5, 1989. It was the 12th time in school history a WVU opponent did not score a 3 in a game.

A day after its six-overtime epic against Connecticut, the 18th-ranked Syracuse Orange needed another extra session to defeat seventh-seeded West Virginia, 74-69, in the BIG EAST Championship semifinals. Guard Eric Devendorf was the Mountaineer killer, hitting for 23 points including a three-quarter-court heave ahead of the first half horn to give the Orange a 36-29 advantage at the break. Syracuse took its biggest lead of the game at the start of the second half on a Paul Harris dunk before West Virginia ran off 13 straight to take its biggest lead of the game at 42-38. Andy Rautins ended West Virginia’s run with a 3 and Devendorf tied the game at 42 with one of two from the free throw line. Leading 50-47 after a Cam Thoroughman steal and layup with 9:58 remaining, the Mountaineers hit a three-minute scoreless stretch when they looked like they were about to take over the game. Syracuse responded with five straight points from Rick Jackson and a 3 by Devendorf with 7:18 to go to give the Orange a 54-50 lead. Trailing 60-55 with 4:01 remaining, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins chose not to wait for the television timeout and stopped play. After exchanging turnovers, Truck Bryant made a jumper to pull the Mountaineers to within three. An Ebanks basket and a Wellington Smith layup reduced Syracuse’s lead to 62-61. Jonny Flynn had an opportunity at the foul line to put the Orange up three, but he missed his second attempt. Ebanks was fouled by Jackson on the other end and the freshman coolly sank both free throws to send the game into overtime. Syracuse scored the first six points of the overtime period. West Virginia trailed 71-69 after two Ebanks free throws and Harris was sent back to the line for the Orange. After making the first, Harris once again missed the second to keep it a one possession game. Bryant’s game-tying 3-point try with 16 seconds left was partially deflected by Devendorf, who eventually got the basketball back for a driving layup to ice the game for the Orange.

Recap
Chris Wright scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead 11th-seeded Dayton to a 68-60 victory over sixth-seeded West Virginia in an NCAA Tournament first round game at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. West Virginia shot 32 percent in the first half and 36.7 percent for the game. It was the eighth consecutive game that the Mountaineers failed to make half their field goal attempts and the 28th time in 35 games this season. West Virginia led only once, 3-2, on a Truck Bryant 3. Forward Charles Little added 18 points for Dayton, which outscored West Virginia 36-22 in the paint. Dayton’s biggest lead of the first half was 33-24 before the Mountaineers managed to run off four straight to make it 33-28 at halftime. In the second half, West Virginia fought back and eventually cut Dayton’s lead to one, 48-47, on a Bryant 3. But a 7:44 scoreless drought was the Mountaineers undoing. Alex Ruoff picked up two quick fouls to begin the second half and spent a good portion of it on the bench. He eventually fouled out with 1:50 remaining. A key sequence in the game came with the Mountaineers trailing by three with the basketball. Bryant penetrated into the lane and tried a pull-up jump shot that was blocked by Mickey Perry. Dayton grabbed the rebound and found Wright all alone on the other end for a breakaway dunk to make it 59-54. Before Wright’s dunk, West Virginia had two other opportunities to either tie the game or take the lead. Ruoff missed a pair of free throws that would have tied the game at 54, and a little later, Butler had an open look at a 3 that could have given the Mountaineers a one point lead. Bryant led West Virginia with 21 points. Devin Ebanks added 14 points and 12 rebounds, while Butler scored 12. Bryant was 4-of-6 from 3 while the rest of the team 1-for-14 from behind the arc.
Notebook
• It was Dayton’s first NCAA Tournament victory in 19 years and was just the second time Huggins has ever lost to the Flyers. • West Virginia is eliminated from the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1992, snapping a streak of four-straight Sweet 16 or better runs.

John A. Purinton
Anthony Chez
1 Season/1904 Record: 4-3 John Purinton, a WVU student, talked about starting basketball with his fellow students and served as a manager-coach on WVU’s first intercollegiate basketball team. He got WVU off to a fast start with four wins in seven tries, including the first victory over Western University of Pennsylvania (Pitt).

Anthony Chez, who was WVU’s football coach, was West Virginia’s first official basketball coach. He had learned the rudiments of the game from James Naismith himself during a stint at Springfield College. Chez played as a graduate student in 1892. Purinton headed the hoop efforts for three seasons. Expanding their schedules to face clubs in neighboring Ohio and Pennsylvania, Chez’s Mountaineers lost only three of 18 games at home during that time span. He was also WVU’s first athletic director.

James Jenkins
1 Season/1908 Record: 3-7
Coming from the WVU student body ranks to assume leadership of the basketball team, Jenkins’ club posted just three wins. Lack of a readily available practice facility and enough funding to continue the program on an intercollegiate level caused basketball to drop to intramural status following the season.

1 Season/1908 Record: 12-21
A former Mountaineer cager who had been coaching at Davis and Elkins, Mullenex had the services of great athletes such as Ira Errett Rodgers and Clay Hite who were caught up in the more popular sport of football and thus got a late start annually in training for basketball. His best club posted an 8-8 mark in 1919.

How It All Began In 1903 intercollegiate basketball got its start at West Virginia University, primarily through the efforts of one student, John Alden Purinton, who had transferred to WVU from Denison College in Ohio, where he had played the sport. Purinton was the son of Dr. Daniel Boardman Purinton, who was WVU’s president and for whom the Purinton House of the Downtown Campus was named. Purinton talked it up among some of his interested fellow students and then served as manager/coach of West Virginia University’s first team. WVU had “class” basketball teams for several years prior to 1904 and thus a nucleus of players was available. Those teams played in the basement of the Old Commencement Hall, later called Reynolds Hall, located facing the main campus where the Mountainlair presently sits. The ceilings were low and a couple of posts supporting the upper story were in the middle of the playing floor, but this proved to be no real obstacle. The varsity team began playing in The Armory in 1904. The first team won four and lost three, fittingly enough, the initial victory coming by a score of 15-12 over a team from longtime rival Pitt, then officially known as the Western University of Pennsylvania. Those original four wins laid the foundation that has made WVU one of college basketball’s top 25 all-time winning teams. The mark stands at 1,550-972 over the 100 seasons of competition. -- Buck Martin

5 Seasons/1934-38 Record: 61-46 Known as “Little Sleepy” during his days as a multi-sport star at WVU, Glenn patterned his teams after his own style of play, emphasizing aggressive defense and the fast break. Teams led by Jack Gocke and Squint Phares packed the Field House with fans, and the Glenn clubs won 61 games in five years.

Captain and one of the stars of WVU’s 1942 National Invitation Tournament championship team, Baric took over the reigns of the hoop program when Raese left for the armed services, continuing his record of success with a 14-7 mark. The record is all the more remarkable when realizing only one player, Scott Hamilton, was back from the previous season. There were eight sophomores on the squad in the first year scholarships were offered in basketball.

#44
In the annals of West Virginia basketball, the uniform number that stands headand-shoulders above all others is 44. In just seven seasons of action, that number produced five All-America awards, two Pro Hall of Fame inductions, three WVU Sports Hall of Fame members and these numbers: 4,096 points, 2,152 rebounds and 565 assists. The first player to wear 44 was Joe Stydahar in 1936. Known better for his exploits on the gridiron, Stydahar held his own on the basketball court, scoring 608 points in four seasons. He wore 44 during his final season of basketball, in which he only played three games. Stydahar was a football third-team All-American in 1935, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967 and the WVU Sports Hall of Fame in 1991.

The next player to wear 44 was and still is the most famous Mountaineer to ever don the Gold and Blue -- Jerry West. In three seasons from 1958-60 (freshmen were not allowed to play varsity ball), West put up numbers that have stood as Mountaineer records for more than 35 years. His 2,309 career points and 1,240 career rebounds are school records that may stand eternally. Since West’s career ended in 1960, no one has come closer than 450 points and 170 rebounds to his respective marks. In all, West holds 17 school records. He was an unanimous All-American in both 1959 and 1960 and was inducted into the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame in 1979 and the WVU Hall of Fame in 1991. The third and final Mountaineer to wear 44 was Rod Thorn, among the best players in West Virginia history. Taking the reins from West, Thorn continued what is referred to as the “Golden Era” of Mountaineer basketball. From 1961-63, Thorn scored 1,785 points (No. 5 all-time), grabbed 912 rebounds (No. 7 alltime) and dished out 304 assists (No. 11 all-time). Thorn was an All-American in 1962 and 1963 and was inducted into the WVU Sports Hall of Fame in 1992.

Gale Catlett
24 Seasons/1979-2002 Record: 439-276 The winningest coach in WVU history and a former “U” cager brought the Mountaineers back to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time in three decades in 1998. Catlett’s clubs posted 20-win campaigns in 11 of his 24 seasons (seven in a row from 1981-87), coupled with 16 postseason invitations to gain national exposure and attention. The Mountaineers became a national contender and earned a reputation as one of the dominant teams in the Atlantic 10 under his guidance. In its first two seasons in the BIG EAST, West Virginia won as many conference games as any other member.

John Beilein
5 Seasons/2003-2007 Record: 104-60 It was truly remarkable how far John Beilein, the 20th men’s basketball coach in WVU history, brought the Mountaineers in just five years. In Beilein’s first season, he led seven scholarship players to 14 wins and a spot in the BIG EAST tournament after missing the show during the 2001-02 season. In his second season, Beilein’s troops won 17 games including two contests in the 2004 NIT. Then in 2004-05, WVU finished with 24 victories, an NCAA Elite Eight appearance, second in the BIG EAST championship, defeated a school-record eight AP-ranked teams and earned a No. 12 ranking in the final USA Today/ESPN coaches poll. In 200506, the Mountaineers won 22 games and won two games in the NCAA tournament, marking the first time the school has made consecutive trips to the Sweet 16 since the tournament field expanded in 1975. WVU also finished with 11 BIG EAST wins and a third-place finish, earning the Mountaineers their first-ever league bye. Then in 2006-07, West

2009-10 West Virginia Basketball
ALL-TIME SCORES Virginia won 27 games, the second-most wins in school history, and captured the 2007 National Invitation Tournament, WVU’s first postseason title since the 1942 NIT.

Born May 28, 1938 in Chelyan, Jerry West established 17 WVU records and led the Mountaineers to three of its greatest seasons on the hardwood. With a mark of 61-12 while West was a regular, West Virginia earned three straight NCAA berths and came within two points of winning the national championship in 1959. A second team All-American in 1958, West earned consensus All-America honors in 1959 and 1960; he averaged 29.3 points and 16.5 rebounds per game as a senior. After his senior season, he was selected to play on the Pan American and Olympic teams. Co-captain of the 1960 Olympic team along with Oscar Robertson, the duo led the USA to a 5-0 record and a victory over Russia to claim the gold medal at Rome. West entered the NBA in 1961 and spent 14 outstanding seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. During his NBA career, he compiled just about every honor possible. An all-NBA first team selection seven times, he also made the all-NBA defensive team four straight years from 1970-73. He set a then NBA single game scoring record for guards on January 17, 1962, scoring 63 points against New York. Also an NBA record-holder for the most free throws made in a single season in 1965-66 with 840, he led the league in scoring in 1970, averaging 31.2 points per game.

Born October 26, 1934, in Charleston, Rod Hundley was raised in the Charleston pool halls and saloons. Realizing his basketball talents could get him somewhere, he applied himself enough to earn a basketball scholarship at West Virginia University, although initially, his heart was set on North Carolina State. As a freshman, Hundley set the freshman scoring record with 62 points against the Ohio University plebes and averaged almost 35 points per game. It was also during his freshman year that he learned to clown, a practice he continued for the remainder of his career. His routine included behind-the-back foul shots, halfcourt heaves, lining up in the T formation and practicing his pitching motion -- all during the game. In the 1954 Southern Conference tournament, Hundley had an opportunity to set the tournament scoring record with two free throws in the waning minutes of the championship game against George Washington. With the outcome already decided in WVU’s favor, Hundley, upon learning that he could get the record, shot two air balls. The first attempt was a hook shot. The second was a behind-the-back heave. He averaged 24.5 points per game over three seasons and scored 2,180 career points, just the fourth player in college basketball to accomplish that. “Hot Rod” set the WVU single-game scoring record with 54 points against Furman, and still holds seven other school marks. Named to five All-America teams in 1957, he was the first player chosen in the 1957 NBA draft and played with the Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers from 1958-63. Since 1971 he was a broadcaster with the Utah Jazz until his retirement in 2009, after announcing more than 3,000 NBA games. In 1994, he won the NBA’s Distinguished Broadcaster Award, a honor bestowed only twice previously. Hundley was inducted into the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 1992 and recently released his second book, “You Gotta Love It, Baby!” In 2003, he received the Curt Gowdy Media Award at the NBA Hall of Fame ceremonies. His #33 jersey number was retired by WVU in 2009, the second basketball jersey to be retired from competition.

Born May 23, 1941 in Weirton, Rod Thorn grew up in Princeton and became one of the most prized and touted recruits to ever sign at West Virginia University. His high school reputation was so great that the state legislature intervened in his recruitment and declared him one of the state’s natural resources. Also resourceful as a player from 1961-63, Thorn was one of the most honored backcourt players in the nation during his senior season in 1963. The 1963 Southern Conference Athlete of the Year, he was a member of two basketball and three baseball clubs that played in NCAA tournaments at West Virginia. As a senior he earned All-America basketball honors from the Helms Foundation, Look, Coach & Athlete and Converse. Scoring 1,785 career points, he led the Mountaineers in scoring, rebounding, shooting percentage and assists for two seasons and set six records that still stand in the WVU record books. In 1964, Thorn was drafted in the first round by the Baltimore Bullets and went on to play with Detroit, St. Louis and Seattle during an eight year pro career. He went on in the professional ranks to become a coach and general manager. Thorn is currently serving as president of the New Jersey Nets. He was inducted into the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 1992.

The first 1,000-point scorer in Mountaineer history, Leland Byrd is one of West Virginia’s finest lefthanded cagers of all-time. He led WVU to three straight NIT berths and was part of WVU’s first 20-win season, when the 1945-46 squad went 24-3. During his junior season, the Mountaineers were ranked as high as second nationally and WVU’s home winning streak grew to a school record 57 games. In 1947, Byrd was honored by the Helms Foundation as a first-team All-American. In 1972, Byrd was named WVU’s fifth athletic director. For the next eight years, WVU enjoyed considerable growth and success under his leadership. His lasting monument to West Virginia can be seen in the 63,500-seat football stadium Mountaineer Field; a facility he helped secure funds for before leaving WVU to become executive director of the Eastern Eight basketball conference in 1979. Byrd was a member of the inaugural West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame induction class in 1991.

Floyd “Scotty” Hamilton was a starter on West Virginia’s 1942 NIT national championship team. In the tournament, Hamilton led the last-seeded Mountaineers to a monumental 58-49 overtime win against coach Claire Bee’s Long Island squad, which came into the contest with a 42-game winning streak. After topping Toledo 51-39 in the semifinals, Hamilton then helped WVU upend Western Kentucky 47-45 in the championship game. The Mountaineers finished 19-4 that season as the 5-11 Hamilton averaged 8.7 points per game to become West Virginia’s first-ever basketball All-America selection (Helms Foundation). For his career, Hamilton averaged 9.1 points per game and captained the 1943 squad. West Virginia teams produced records of 13-10, 19-4 and 14-7 (46-21 overall) during his tenure.

From nearby Uniontown, Pa., Wil Robinson was named West Virginia’s seventh first-team AllAmerican in 1972 after becoming the third highest career scorer in Mountaineer basketball history. In 1972, the 6-1 guard forged the highest season scoring average in WVU history when he scored 706 points in 24 games (29.4), breaking a record set by Jerry West. The flamboyant Robinson scored 1,850 points in his career, trailing only All-Americans West (2,309) and Rod Hundley (2,180). Other career marks include a 24.7 points-per-game scoring average (second) and 733 field goals (third). The three-year letterman (1970-72) holds the WVU Coliseum record for points in a game by a Mountaineer player (45 vs. Penn State in 1971). In fact, Robinson owns six of the Mountaineers’ top seven all-time single game scores at the Coliseum. He and his teammates opened the WVU Coliseum with a 113-92 victory against Colgate on December 1, 1970. Following his senior season, Robinson was named first team All-America by Basketball Weekly, United Savings and Helms Foundation, second team by Converse and third team by the Associated Press.

Mark Workman was possibly the best-shooting center ever to play Mountaineer basketball. The 6-8 giant scored 1,553 career points for a 20.4 scoring average. He once scored 50 points during a 1951 game against Salem College and still holds four of WVU’s top 10 all-time single game scoring marks. One of Workman’s greatest accomplishments was winning the Basketball Writers Association Gold Star Award as the outstanding visiting player in the state of New York for the 1951-52 season. Workman led WVU to wins against New York University (100-75) and Niagara (74-71). A first team All-America selection in 1952 by the Associated Press, UPI, Look and the Helms Foundation, Workman finished third in the nation in scoring as a junior (26.1 points per game) and sixth nationally as a senior (23.1), while averaging 17.5 rebounds per game. Workman played professionally with the Milwaukee Hawks, Philadelphia Warriors and Baltimore Bullets from 1952-54. He was inducted into the West Virginia Sportswriter’s Hall of Fame in 1974 and the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 1994. Workman died December 21, 1983, at Bradenton, Fla.

Dr. James P. CLements president
ames P. Clements, West Virginia University’s 23rd president, has successfully proven that universities can engage with society to solve problems. Throughout his extensive higher education career, he has built lasting partnerships that have created meaningful results. Dr. Clements has great enthusiasm for the future of WVU. He envisions WVU as a 21st century land-grant institution providing innovative academic and student life programs, technologically advanced research and community service that benefits West Virginians through strategic partnerships with business, industry, government and other organizations. Before joining the Mountaineer family, Dr. Clements served as provost and vice president for Towson University, the second largest public university in Maryland.

Towson’s externally-funded research increased by 36 percent during Dr. Clements’ tenure as provost. Prior to becoming provost, Dr. Clements served as Towson’s vice president for economic and community outreach. During his tenure in this role, Towson became a National Security Agency Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance and forged several strategic partnerships in the homeland security arena. The university also launched a business incubator to attract international business to its region; created organizations for regional business and technology leaders that provided networking opportunities for professionals and scholarships and mentoring for students; became the headquarters for the Coalition of Urban & Metropolitan Universities; and secured a grant to establish an Osher Lifelong Learning Institute on campus. Altogether, he helped Towson secure more than $50 million in external funding during a four-year period. With a background in computer science, Dr. Clements also brings technological savvy to his role as president. He has a B.S. in computer science and an M.S. and Ph.D. in operations analysis from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, as well as an M.S. in computer science from Johns Hopkins University.

ED PASTILONG DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
t is truly a great time to be a Mountaineer. Just ask West Virginia University Director of Athletics Ed Pastilong. Never has total athletic success been so prominent at WVU quite like it has over the last six years. And it’s all happened under Pastilong’s watch. During his 20-year tenure, Pastilong has spearheaded WVU’s growth into one of the nation’s finest athletic departments on and off the playing fields as it competes in 17 varsity sports. He’s done this through leadership efforts in meeting the demands of running a top-tier organization by keeping up with the times. His vision has helped guide, mold and shape the student-athlete experience into a positive one here at WVU through a successful, across-theboard, total athletic program. During his tenure, Pastilong has spearheaded more than $65 million in facility renovations, witnessed the department’s budget increase from $20 million to more than $40 million, steered WVU into the BIG EAST football conference in 1991 and into full-fledged member status in the league in 1995. He also
initiated the Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll, where more than 4,000 studentathletes have been recognized for outstanding work in the classroom, and the WVU Sports Hall of Fame, where 120 former Mountaineers have been so honored. The facility upgrades and capital improvements alone have been staggering. Since 1989, WVU has made tremendous strides to its football facility, Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. Suites to three sides of the stadium, Touchdown Terrace, the Caperton Indoor Practice Facility, new locker rooms, the Reynolds Family Academic Center and the Donald J. Brohard Hall of Traditions highlight the making of WVU’s football facility into one of the nation’s finest. Other facility improvements under Pastilong’s tenure include renovations to the WVU Coliseum and Hawley Field and the construction of Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, Cary Gym for Mountaineer Gymnastics and a state-of-the-art wrestling facility. And a new basketball practice facility is on the horizon in the near future. On the playing fields, the last six years
The Pastilong Family
have arguably been the most successful in the history of West Virginia University athletics. As proof, look no farther than WVU’s No. 30 national ranking in the U.S. Sports Academy Director’s Cup, the school’s best-ever finish in 2008. Success hasn’t just been limited to on the field, either, as community service has also been at the forefront of WVU’s recent successes. All of WVU’s sports are involved in various levels of community service from the football team and its affiliation with the WVU Children’s Hospital to the women’s basketball and gymnastics teams being involved in Breast Cancer Awareness through national “Think Pink” initiatives. Other varsity sports volunteer their time at local elementary schools’ read-a-louds and at other various community service initiatives. There’s no doubt that West Virginia University is currently experiencing a Golden Era. With great leadership, tremendous insight and a heartwarming personality, Ed Pastilong can proudly claim it all happened on his watch. Pastilong joined the athletic department as football recruiting coordinator in 1976 and two years later became its scholarship officer. In 1979, he was named assistant athletic director for facilities and operations. He spearheaded the planning and management of all home athletic contests, as well as the scheduling and the maintenance of the Coliseum and stadium; Pastilong was also on the board for the planning and building of Mountaineer Field. He remained director of athletic facilities until his promotion to associate athletic director in 1987. Prior to West Virginia, Pastilong served football coaching stints at Scott High in Madison, W.Va., and at Salem College, where he tutored the Tigers from 1969-75, winning more games than any other West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference team during that period. He was also the school’s dean of health and physical education from 1972-75. He received his bachelor’s degree from WVU in physical education in 1966, and later earned a master’s degree from WVU. As a Mountaineer player, Pastilong lettered in 1964 and 1965, completing 37 of 115 passes for 728 yards and six touchdowns. Pastilong and his wife, Mona, have two daughters – Kim DeFelice and her husband, Anthony, and Amy Richter and her husband, Pat, and four grandsons, Michael and Nick DeFelice and Ryan and Shawn Richter.

MOUNTAINEER ATHLETIC CLUB Wheels Club
The Mountaineer Athletic Club (MAC) is the fundraising organization within the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics at West Virginia University. The MAC’s mission is to provide annual scholarship support to West Virginia University student-athletes and to develop private support for capital projects, endowments and other needs as prioritized by the WVU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. Supported by businesses and individuals alike, the MAC provides funds for grants-in-aid to more than 350 male and female student athletes at WVU. All Mountaineer athletic teams benefits from the scholarship support made possible by MAC donors. A tax deductible donation to the MAC entitles members to a long list of benefits, but more importantly, members have the knowledge that their support translates into scholarships for young student-athletes.
Annual Giving & Season Ticket Priority By participating as a MAC donor through the ticket priority program, you not only receive exclusive benefits but also play an important role in ensuring the quality of the athletic program. Annual gifts enhance season ticket sales, provide financial support for the scholarship program and assure MAC donors season-to-season preferred seating in football and mens basketball. For information on the MAC Annual Giving and Ticket Priority programs, call 1-800-433-2072 or visit MountaineerAthleticClub.com.
Olympic Sports Support Philanthropic gifts to benefit our Olympic sports program truly do make a difference and are sincerely appreciated by our coaches and student-athletes. Contributions to any of our Olympic sports (Baseball, Women’s Cross Country and Track, Gymnastics, Women’s Rowing, Rifle, Men’s Soccer, Women’s Soccer, Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving, Women’s Tennis, Volleyball and Wrestling) are tax-deductible. Our coaches and student-athletes in these sports rely on private support for locker room improvements, equipment purchases and many other expenses not covered in their operating budgets.
Varsity Club Membership in the Varsity Club is made up of men and women who participated in varsity athletics at West Virginia University. Today, former Mountaineers number in the thousands and the Varsity Club provides a way for all former student-athletes and coaches to remain in contact with their respective athletic program, team and teammates. The Varsity Club encourages continued involvement and participation of its members in all activities relating to WVU.
The Wheels Club is comprised of automobile dealers who donate the use of vehicles to the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics for use in recruiting and travel by the Mountaineer coaches & staff. Wheels Club donors receive MAC benefits and are recognized at the Director level within the MAC Annual Giving and Season Ticket Priority program.
Mountaineers. All major gifts and pledges benefitting the intercollegiate athletic program at WVU, above and beyond ticket priorities, at $50,000 and above qualify for involvement.
Jerry West Society
Formed in 1996 in honor of WVU’s most famous athlete, the Jerry West Society offers exclusive membership to those who make commitments of support to the MAC in the form of planned gifts. Qualifying support includes bequests, trusts, annuities, directed retirement assets, life insurance and real estate. The MAC can provide you the necessary language to ensure that your planned gift intentions are clearly expressed.
1100 Club The goal of the 1100 Club is to provide a significant portion of the resources necessary to successfully recruit blue-chip football studentathletes at the regional and national level. Membership has grown to more than 350 members who give a minimum of $1,100 annually to support this pursuit of excellence. These funds help offset the escalating costs associated specifically with airplane travel during NCAA-sanctioned football recruiting periods. Members of the 1100 Club take pride knowing that their involvement truly has an impact on WVUs quest for BIG EAST and national championships and winning the right way.
Basketball Legacy Fund The Basketball Legacy Fund has been created to offset two ever increasing costs associated with top flight basketball programs: recruiting and team travel. All funds in support of Basketball Legacy ensure our coaches and staff have the necessary resources to recruit top tier basketball student-athletes to WVU. Funds will also help support chartered team air travel throughout the season. Chartered air travel has become a necessity with the rigors of classroom and competition schedules coupled with the inconveniences and burden associated with commercial air travel today..
Major Gift Programs Endowed Scholarships
Increasing the athletic scholarship endowment for student-athletes at West Virginia University will allow Mountaineer coaches to continue to recruit the highest caliber athletes, while offsetting the rising costs of tuition.

MEDIA INFORMATION
Following are some guidelines for covering the 2009-10 Mountaineers. Any additional questions should be directed to Bryan Messerly. Credentials: Media should return their credential request forms to the sports communications office by November 1 to ensure consideration for 2009-10 season credentials and parking. Requests for press credentials for a specific game should be made at least one week in advance of the game in question. All credential requests should be directed in writing on company letterhead to Bryan Messerly. Credentials are granted to authorized media, WVU authorized officials and game management personnel only. Requests for credentials are carefully screened due to demand and to ensure proper access and functional working media areas. Traditional print, television, online and radio agencies regularly assigned to cover WVU and the visiting school, as well as national news gathering agencies, will receive top priority. Spouses, dates, equipment carriers and non-workers are restricted from press row and the Jerry West Mountaineer Lounge. Abuse of a West Virginia basketball credential can result in the media agency losing credential privileges for the remainder of 2009-10 and possibly the entire 2010-11 season. During The Week: The Mountaineer basketball team will practice six days a week throughout the preseason. One day each week during the preseason, Mountaineer players and coaches will be available for interviews one-half hour prior to practice. During the season, contact the Sports Communications Office for the interview schedule. Any other interview requests should be arranged at least two days in advance through the sports information office. Players can return phone calls to the media, class schedules permitting, upon request. At no time will a player’s home phone number or cell phone number be provided to the media. Media members are advised not to directly call, e-mail or contact the student-athletes through social networking web sites (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, etc.) or request their personal contact information. Conference Call: Coach Bob Huggins will hold a weekly conference call during the season. The BIG EAST will conduct media conference calls throughout the season involving the league’s head coaches. Phone numbers and the schedule will be announced by the sports communications office and the BIG EAST office. Electronic Media Services: Updated game notes and statistics will be available on the Internet at www.MSNsportsNET.com. At The Game: The West Virginia University Coliseum is the site of Mountaineer basketball home games. There is no smoking permitted in the WVU Coliseum. The working press area is located on the east side of the main floor at the concourse level (22 rows from the playing floor). Press should enter through the Red Gate. Limited press parking is available in the Coliseum lots. Requests for parking passes should be made well in advance. Postgame Interviews: Coach Bob Huggins and the visiting coach will hold postgame press conferences above the weight room of the Coliseum approximately 10 minutes following the game. Mountaineer players will be available for interviews in the area above the WVU locker room after a short cooling-off period. Jerry West Mountaineer Room: The press room for Mountaineer basketball is the Jerry West Mountaineer Room, located off the main concourse of the WVU Coliseum. A pregame meal is served here 90 minutes prior to tipoff, and there is work space for the media.
