On Thursday night, WVU men's basketball got back bragging rights in The Backyard Brawl with a massive 71-49 victory over the Pitt Panthers. And while a win in the Brawl is a massive story in and of itself in Morgantown, a major storyline to keep an eye on for this WVU basketball is 7-foot center Harlan Obioha and what he can do for the Mountaineers.
It felt like Obioha's full potential was unlocked for the first time during the regular season for the Mountaineers in the win against Pitt, as he exploded for 19 points, six rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in the WVU win.
