‘Press Virginia’ has waves of bodies but inexperienced backcourt

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Four hundred thirty seven, that’s the number of 3-pointers Jevon Carter missed during his West Virginia basketball career.

It is nothing more than an oddball stat kept in the school record books that showed just how confident the now-Memphis Grizzlies guard was.

Starting Saturday, when the Mountaineers begin practices for the 2018-19 season, Bob Huggins would likely take every one of those 437 misses just to have Carter around a little bit longer.

Huggins and West Virginia will be chasing their fifth consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament, but will do so with an interesting roster built around strength and size in the frontcourt and a lot of inexperience in the backcourt.
