Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.
West Virginia guard Erik Stevenson was selected as the Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Week after his dominant performance in the Mountaineers’ win over then-#15 Auburn.
Seven made three-pointers helped the fifth-year senior score a career-high 31 points on Saturday. Stevenson shot 70% from three-point range and 80% from the free throw line. He also grabbed six rebounds and tallied three steals against the Tigers.
Earlier in the week, Stevenson had his first career double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds in WVU’s road win at Texas Tech.
