Alex Ruoff, pictured above, had another great game scoring 22 points and playing well on defense. He also went 5-5 from 3 point land, showing the off-season workout program has not affected his stroke.
To me, this was an impressive early victory for the Mountaineers. Prairie View gave the seventh ranked Tennessee Vols a run for their money Friday night. Now, I'm not saying this team should be ranked in the top 10, but we are better than people think.
The first real test of the season comes Friday against the same Tennessee Vols. A victory over a ranked team this early would be huge for a team that is adjusting to a new system. Texas or New Mexico State await the Mountaineers for its final game in the Legends Classic.
RANDOM THOUGHTS
- Joe Alexander jumped over two rows of seats in an attempt to save a loose ball. My friends, this kid has super boings.
- Next time you see this team play, watch Huggins' eyes light up every time Joe touches the ball.
- Joe Mazzula has not shown the flashes of greatness that I expected to see after his excellent summer league performances. I don't know if he needs more playing time to get a feel for the game but he needs to step up if we are going to compete in the Big East.
- I know it is football season and Thanksgiving break but today's attendance was just sad. Step it up people.
