Joe Mazzulla Wants it More

WASHINGTON -- Joe Mazzulla is quietly putting together one of the most well-rounded performances we've seen in D.C.

For starters, he can get to the basket almost at will. He has eight points.

Then, there's his hustle. He has seven rebounds, including an offensive rebound just now off of a Joe Alexander miss where he had two run past two Duke defenders. He just wanted the ball more than they did. Now, he's just drawn a charge which has him shook up pretty good.

There is also his passing ability; he's got seven assists. Nothing fancy, no no-looks, but just very in-control. He didn't have a turnover in 14 first-half minutes.

West Virginia has a six-point lead and the ball. The next Duke foul will have the Devils join the Mountaineers in the double bonus. So, once again, be prepared for plenty of free throws down the stretch.
