Jevon Carter is a blessing for WVU basketball team

The WVU basketball team saw its season come to and end in the Sweet 16 against Gonzaga. That could have been Jevon Carter’s final game with the Mountaineers.

It was a heartbreaking 61-58 defeat to Jordan Mathews and the Bulldogs. The back-and-forth affair was one of the better basketball games of the NCAA Tournament season.

Jevon Carter knocked down a 3-pointer with around one minute remaining in regulation to give the WVU basketball team a lead by three points. It would be his last basket, though. Carter had a chance to be the hero on the Mountaineers’ final possession, but he couldn’t get the shot off.
