Jaysean Paige Returns to Best Virginia
Jaysean Paige will return to West Virginia University men's basketball alumni team, Best Virginia, for the upcoming TBT tournament this summer as announced by the popular podcast The Final Fourcast. The show is hosted by current Best Virginia team members Kevin Jones and John Flowers, making Paige the third member announced for this year's roster.
Paige will make his first appearance with the team since Best Virginia's initial appearance in the tournament in 2019.

He made one appearance and dished an assist and grabbed a rebound.
