WVU basketball alumni game a success in Morgantown

Even more were created Saturday night as former Mountaineer John Flowers helped create the second annual WVU Basketball Alumni Game at Morgantown High School. Flowers, like so many other former WVU basketball players, have many great memories themselves.

This game is a chance for those players to team up again, to the delight of thousands of adoring fans. The game was sold out in 2015, the first year for the event, and it looked like a packed house again on Saturday.

Flowers, a key component of the 2010 Final Four team, was beloved for his defensive game on the court, but more so for his friendly demeanor and happy-go-lucky attitude off the court.
