WVU's goggled junior Devin Williams has opened some eyes
By JOHN RABY (AP Sports Writer
West Virginia's Devin Williams has broken from his slumber, just in time for the rest of college basketball to take notice.
After Williams had an awful finish to the regular season, the junior who wears prescription goggles on the court was clearly in focus in the Big 12 postseason and has the third-seeded Mountaineers (26-8) eager for another lengthy stay in the NCAA Tournament. That starts Friday in the East Region against 14th seed and Southland Conference tournament champion Stephen F. Austin (27-5) in Brooklyn, New York.
After going a combined 2 of 15 from the floor against Texas Tech and Baylor, Williams erupted in the conference tournament, averaging 19 points and 11 rebounds over three games and shooting 62 percent from the floor.
''I left my footprint,'' Williams said. ''I think a lot of people's eyes are open. For the most part, I showed myself that I can compete with anybody, I could be a force and I can help my team in a lot of ways.''
