A new era for West Virginia basketball will open Monday night when the Mountaineers host Robert Morris in Morgantown, W.Va. Darian DeVries has taken over the West Virginia program after leading Drake to five consecutive 20-win seasons. Last year, West Virginia finished 9-23 overall and 4-14 in the Big 12 Conference under interim coach Josh Eilert. The Mountaineers have 14 new players. Tucker DeVries, a Drake transfer who was a two-time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and is the coach's son, headlines a solid group of transfers. That list includes Javon Small from Oklahoma State and high-scoring Detroit Mercy guard Jayden Stone.
