Yesufu steps up in the most crucial moments for West Virginia
No. 21 West Virginia seemed to be on the ropes against Colorado on Sunday.
The Mountaineers’ 14-point lead dwindled to a single possession for most of the back-half of the second half. That’s until Joe Yesufu was able to come in clutch, scoring 18 total points as WVU earned their third Big 12 win of the year.
“We went to him a little bit. They were doing a nice job on Javon in the second half so we wanted to put the ball in Joe’s hands a little bit more, he does have great speed,” West Virginia head coach Darian DeVries said.
Eight of Yesufu’s 18 points came in the final 4:44 of the game, as he was able to get to the rim and be the main facilitator of the Mountaineer offense.
“At that point in the game, that’s what we needed. We needed somebody that could get downhill and get to the rim a little bit more,” DeVries said.
The Mountaineers not only played at altitude on the road, but they were still shorthanded as they dealt with injuries across the board.
Yesufu was able to come off the bench, scoring the most points he’s scored in a game since the 2020-2021 season.
“We’re a little shorthanded so we do get fatigued sometimes in the second half. I thought Tad did a really good job, he played a lot of guys. They had fresh bodies kept coming at us. We just don’t have the amount of bodies we needed to sub and then we got into a little foul trouble on top of it. We did get worn out a little bit but had just enough,” DeVries said.
WVU went on an 8-0 run from the 1:23 mark until there were 31 seconds to play. Yesufu was an integral part to start that, as he was able to get an and-one layup, before making the free throw.
“That’s where I thought Joe’s maybe a little more fresh than the other guys was maybe kind of able to will us to the last finish line there,” DeVries said.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.

But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
