He's a Dude: Juwan Staten, senior guard. Staten is the offensive focal point of this Mountaineers squad and possesses an uncanny ability to put the ball in the hoop. He is coming off a junior season in which he averaged just over 18 points per game. He's without a doubt one of the best offensive players in the country.
Fun Fact: The Eagles and Mountaineers played in BC's first ever overtime game on a neutral court. West Virginia defeated Boston College 65-64 in something called the ECAC Holiday Festival at the Garden.
