Derek Culver’s full game on display in WVU win over Kansas State

COMMENTARY

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The triple-double is one of the great unicorns for West Virginia basketball.

No Mountaineer has recorded one since 1975, when Jerome Anderson had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Boston University. (Feel free to use that data to con someone into buying you a free round).

Perhaps another 45 years will pass before we see another, but with his performance on Saturday, Derek Culver demonstrated why he’s as likely a candidate as any to one day break that drought. The sophomore power forward is developing the kind of well-rounded game one needs to accomplish such a feat.
