I have been reading what you all are saying, about the mountaineers and how they are not going to be able to win. Yes the 1-2 punch with truck and joe was a great combination but don't count them out so fast. Joe has been hurt all year and is finally starting to get back to playing his normal game. Yes truck has started all year but he has not been playing well all season.
Here are some numbers for you all from the big east tourney until now.
Wvu. vs. Cincy
Truck had 2 points while joe had 0, Truck with 5 rebounds Joe 0, Truck 3 Assists Joe 0, Minutes played Truck 20 Joe 10, Steals truck 2 Joe 0.
-------------------

------------------
G-Town vs. Wvu
Joe 6 points Truck 0, Both with 2 rebounds, Joe 7 assists Truck 0, Minutes played Joe 29 Truck 10. Free throws Joe 6-6.

NCAA TOURNEY
Morgan State Vs WVU
Joe 5 points Truck 4, Truck 1 rebound Joe 0, Joe 6 assists Joe 2, Both played 22 minutes, Free throws joe 3-3 truck 2-2.
-----------------
Mizzou vs. Wvu
Joe 3 points Truck 4, Joe 3 rebounds Truck 2,Joe 2 assists Truck 1, Minutes played joe 24 Truck 14, Joe 1-2 from the line.
------------------
Averages
Joe averaging 4.4 points a game while Truck is averaging 2.
Truck with 2.4 rebounds Joe 1.4
Assists Joe 3 truck 1.8
MINUTES PER GAME JOE 21.6 TRUCK 17
So all stats are leading to joe have a better tourney so far so i am not to worried about him running the point. Wvu has a lot of options, They could play 5 forwards with Butler running the point. Casey Mitchell will back up truck. We will still be able to break the press easily. I wouldn't be surprised if Ebanks guards Thomas. Look for a great game. But dont count the mounties out yet...
