Jo Lual-Acuil

The Bears may have a size advantage on the WVU basketball team. The will be boosted down low by the lanky Jo Lual-Acuil. Standing at 7-foot, he is an intimidating figure and he can do things that not many other Big 12 players can.

Lual-Acuil is averaging 16 points per game, which is second on the team, and had 28 blocks in 15 games. He is leading the team in rebounds with 137 on the year.

Like West Virginia’s big guy, Sagaba Konate, Lual-Acuil is a foreigner. He was born in Sudan and raised in Australia.
