Last time together?
WVU seniors Jones, Bryant hope to delay the inevitable
Staff writer

MORGANTOWN - For four months now, Kevin Jones and Truck Bryant have been doing everything they could think of to help Bob Huggins mold a team that, aside from them, was almost completely new to college basketball into something resembling an NCAA tournament team.

Along the way, every time the team slipped through 13 losses and struggled just to win four of its final 12 games, the two seniors always could look on the bright side. There was always another chance.

Not anymore. Not now.

    "You do all that so you can play, so why wouldn't you do the best job you could at trying to play as long as you can play?''
    Indeed. One would think these knuckleheads would have figured that out by now.

    Only 7 comments here, but 17 on a MU basketball article?
    Some WVU fans obsess a little.

    I need a drink.

    The only obsessed person on this board is Herd 9 and he has a very sick obsession with WVU and Coach Huggs. He really needs to seek help. He's beginning to remind me of John Hinkley.

    Time to go home and kiss your Granny, MOO and done. Middle Tennessee? LOL. Thanks for all those rebounds and put backs KJ, you're in the record books to prove it, and, except for when you'd pack the tach when going downhill and have to use the safety ramp, thanks Truck for all the excitement you brought to the Court. A couple W's up in Spittsburg and we'll be Sixteening again. LET'S GOOOOO!!! MOUNTAINEEERS! Zig the Zags.
