Baylor F Jalen Bridges Reflects on Return to West Virginia
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Following Baylor’s 83-78 victory over West Virginia on Wednesday, former WVU F Jalen Bridges reflected on his return to his home state.
“Playing here for three years I kind of knew how it was for an opposing team to come in here. I knew they boo somebody every game. It just happened to be me tonight because I went here,” Bridges said. “It’s one of the best atmospheres in college basketball. My teammates had my back tonight.”
Bridges returned to Morgantown for the first time since transferring to Baylor last April. The former WVU forward was introduced with a roar of boos throughout the coliseum as he took the floor. Bridges recorded a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
