West Virginia Captures
2009 76 Classic Crown
Da'Sean Butler was the catalyst for West Virginia all tournament long, and in the championship game against Portland, the senior forward made his native Newark, New Jersey fans back East proud with 26 points and six rebounds at the Anaheim Convention Center. The Mountaineers were never threatened by the Pilots, who played catchup all game long. Ultimate 76 Classic bragging rights--which had been held by 2008 champ Wake Forest--now belong to West Virginia.
