Regardless of the result of West Virginia's game with No. 2 Iowa State, Saturday will be a special day for Mountaineer fans. The team will be honoring the life

The announcement coincides with Jerry West Day, a celebration of West’s memory and legacy at the WVU men’s basketball game this Saturday versus Iowa State.

Pretty much everyone who has bounced a basketball is familiar with Jerry West. “Obviously, he’s the [inspiration for the] NBA logo and a huge icon to the basketball community,” WVU senior guard Joseph Yesufu said.

For the first time in several years, the West Virginia Mountaineers will be wearing a set of throwback uniforms. This was made known in the press release several months ago when "Jerry West Day" was scheduled for this Saturday.
