For the second time in as many days, the Mountaineer men's basketball team was honored. This time, the ceremony was much more private than Wednesday night's public rally. The Mountaineer men's basketball team was honored twice in recent days, as several hundred WVU fans turned out at the Mountainlair Wednesday night for a rally in support of the NIT champions, as well as West Virginia's women's squad, which advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Then on Thursday night, the men's squad had a quieter affair, as the team's awards dinner, sponsored by the Mountaineer Athletic club, was held inside Touchdown Terrace at Milan Puskar Stadium. Various individual awards, some in jest and others in a serious vein, were presented to Mountaineers. They were: Most Valuable Player - Frank Young Most Improved Player - Rob Summers Sixth Man - Da'Sean Butler Unsung Hero - Rob Summers Best Memor - Darris Nichols' NIT Shot Team Man - Darris Nichols Best Defender - Da'Sean Butler Charge Leader - Darris Nichols Most Likely To Succeed - Ted Talkington Most Generous - Josh Sowards Cheapest - Rob Summers First To Marry - Alex Ruoff WVU's team captains - Nichols, Summers and Young - also spoke to the crowd at the banquet, which was emceed by Tony Caridi. The women's basketball banquet will held Sunday afternoon at Touchdown Terrace. Copyright © Scout.com and BlueGoldNews.com | |
