MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University senior guard Erik Stevenson issued a public apology previous to assembly with the media Friday afternoon to debate West Virginia’s recreation towards No. 3-rated Kansas on Saturday.
He drew technical fouls within the Mountaineers’ video games at Kansas State final Saturday and at Oklahoma State final Monday. Stevenson fouled out of each contests, an 82-76 extra time loss at Kansas State and a 67-60 defeat at Oklahoma State.
“About the previous week, specifically Oklahoma State, I know my actions do not represent this program as it should be, this coaching staff, this fanbase and my teammates and I just wanted to apologize for that,” a somber Stevenson started.
“I know how serious it is and I know my actions didn’t technically cost us the game, but it prevented me from staying in the game and that could have helped us win both ball games,” he added. “Those are things that I just don’t do on a regular basis. I know it doesn’t look good on my part and I just wanted to clarify my apology for those actions – especially this fanbase and to coach (Bob Huggins).”
He concluded his one-minute assertion with one other apology.
“I just want move on from it and put it in the past and not answer any questions about that topic,” he concluded.
Stevenson’s three triples throughout a 1:28 span within the second half gave West Virginia its first lead towards Oklahoma State, however after making his closing 3 with 7:20 left, he was referred to as for a technical foul as he ran down the ground. It was his fourth foul and his fifth foul got here simply two minutes later to finish his evening.
