Thorn Returns To WVU Lineup Against Pitt Shuck
West Virginia coach George King plans to start a double pivot of Tom Lowry and Dave Shuck against Pitt with Lowry at forward and Shuck at center. Lowry and Shuck combined for 27 points in an 82-81 OT win over NC State, and King expects both to see extended action, especially against bigger forwards and in zone defenses. Thorn is healthy after a foot scare and WKU beat Pitt earlier this season 88-78 in Morgantown.
