West Virginia starting off 0-2 in the Big East was not a good look for the defending Big East champions. Since there 0-2 skid the Mountaineers have been on a three game winning streak thanks to high scoring of Senior guard Casey Mitchell, but what might not show up in the highlights is the leadership of junior point guard Darryl Truck Bryant. During the winning streak Truck is averaging 10ppg and 4apg. That may not be the exciting numbers that we're used to seeing Bryant have but if you're watching the games you can see he makes the team go. Everybody knows Bryant can overpower most guards with his strong frame so teams are waiting for him in the paint. Truck is now starting the games off being the distributor and coming up with the big plays when his team needs it as we witnessed in the win against Depaul when Truck drove to the basket got fouled and still made the hoop giving his team a 3 point lead wit under a minute to play. Today West Virginia takes on #8 Purdue University on CBS at 1:30pm eastern time and I expect a big game from Truck.
