One of the country's best players and also best kept secrets, was on display yesterday. On the grand stage of Madison Square Garden, Joe Alexander and his West Virginia teammates, knocked out the 15th rated Connecticut Huskies in the Big East tournament.
Coming into the tournament, the Huskies were one of the hottest teams in the country. But Alexander put on a performance the kind of which legends are made. Scoring 34 points in a variety of ways from high flying dunks to slashing drives, his most impressive was the beautiful turn-around jumpers which were silky smooth.
Retired coach and current ESPN analyst Bob Knight said "in the last three weeks, Alexander has been the most valuable player to his team in the entire country."
Congratulations, Joe Alexander and West Virginia. Go Mountaineers!
